Randy Couture's press-conference will be today. You can watch it here.
We will hear what Randy Couture has to say about his contract with UFC, as well as about his future plans. I am sure he will also say about a situation with Fedor Emelianenko. He might even announce that he will be joining M-1 Global after his contract with UFC expires in about 8-9 months. Or he might even grant his support to M-1 Global by the means of his Xtreme Couture fighting club. They have a lot of good fighters there, so it might be a huge news!
When I look at the Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture's situations, I can help but think about their relationship.
I mean Couture left UFC by making an official announcement. One of the mentioned reasons was that Fedor Emelianenko joined M-1 Global and they will not be able to fight each other in the UFC. But the thing is, that the information about Fedor joining M-1 wasn't confirmed at that stage yet. It was only circulating as a rumour. So the question is, how can Couture be so sure about Fedor not coming to UFC, that he even decided to quit UFC?
I have only one explanation: he has been told about this by a new MMA player itself! Why would they do it? The only reason for them to do that - is to ask him to fight for them! I don't know if Randy accepted it, but I think we can all be pretty sure that he at least received an offer!.. And since Couture said that he left UFC and not MMA... that means we all have quite a good chance of seeing Fedor vs. Couture fight!
