Report: Fedor vs. Arlovski at Affliction on Oct. 11

So did Randy Couture really want to fight Fedor Emelianenko or did he decide to say 'screw it' when he saw Fedor destroy a healthy Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds?

Yahoo Sports reports that Emelianenko will headline the next Affliction event in a WAMMA title defense against Andrei Arlovski. A venue official at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas told writer Kevin Iole that the second Affliction outing will happen there on October 11.

Both heavyweights had career highlights at last Saturday's "Affliction: Banned" event at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Fedor submitted former UFC champion Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds, while Arlovski aggressively picked apart former IFL standout Ben Rothwell.

Maybe now Couture can fulfill his obligation to defend his UFC Heavyweight title (which will never happen) since Fedor doesn't have Couture on his radar. I won't let this die because I've been calling Couture out for the last 9 months since he began his insane quest to get pummelled by the most dominant heavyweight in history.

Randy Couture is a millionaire because of the UFC. He's got a clothing line because of the UFC. A series of gyms in his name have opened because of the UFC. He's got tons of fighters under his wing who fight for the UFC. He's got just about everything and only lost one thing. He lost his legacy. He'll probably be most remembered for quitting which is a shame considering all his other accomplishments. But it's a 'what have you done for me lately' world. Not to mention, Couture will be 46 soon and the fight's hype is all but dead (just like the IFL).

But most importantly, Fedor might have actually killed Couture in the ring.
