Fedor and Couture Meet

It was reported that Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture were scheduled to meet in LA last week. Well they did, and they took......pictures. THAT'S IT???? The two best heavyweights who are wanting to fight each other, as long as their respective fight organizations will sanction it.

It was a marketing meeting for Couture's Affliction clothing line. If these two are ever going to go at it, they better do it soon because MMA fans aren't going to wait around for. Not to mention that Randy Couture is 44 years old.

These guys need to realize that if they don't get it on soon, they're going to simply be forgotten. This isn't Tyson-Holyfield, or Hagler-Hearns.

Wake up guys. You will be long forgotten if you don't fight in the near future. This is the beginning of the MMA era which means the records don't have much history to them. Better fighters with newer training methods will be here before you know it and no one is going to remember either of you. Sure you have your gyms and clothing lines but is that the way to be remembered? I know, Randy Couture is the first fighter to hold a title in two different divisions. The first fighter in a sport that's been sanctioned for 15 years. Not much history has been written in 15 years.

Keep dragging this superbout on and it will not only lose it's marketability, it's going to be a battle of the best fighters wearing adult diapers.

They took pictures. I'm leaving it at that.
