Anderson wants big names at 205.Wanderlai is out of the question,He wont fight Lyoto,He wont fight forest because of Lyoto,Dana probably wont let him get chuck,so that leaves randy and rampage. Randy is on his way out,and I have a feeling Dana wants to crush his star and milk Randy for everything. Randy winning these next fights isn't good business,because Randy is not a long term investment,and Dana wants to cash out on him.

This is whats going to go down... the UFC is gonna throw Couture against Lesnar, and MAKE huge PPV numbers... IF COUTURE WINS, the UFC will give in and copromote with M-1 or whoever to get Fedor to fight Randy in the UFC..... IF RANDY loses against Lesnar, then they'll just release Randy and have him fight Fedor in another org since after he lost it, its kinda pointless now. All in all its win/win for the UFC...
It also opens up the doors with Fedor and his management talking to the UFC... who knows, if the UFC and Fedor get along maybe he'll sign an exclusive contract. THE UFC have done one fight deals before just to make a huge PPV. See Hughes vs Gracie. Couture vs Fedor would be huge.

if randy comes bac he has 2 fight nog or else its totally unfair for nog, see if randy was 2 fight brock and lose then brock would be the champ, i dont think nog would be 2 happy about that

I do think Nog is stylewise best opponent for Randy out of those three tho. But he needs to control in the clinch against the cage. Not to box outside and not to go to the ground.
Brock is probably too big, strong and too good wrestler for Randy to control and Fedor is just going to kill him no matter where they are.

Frank Mir wouldn't even have a title shot right now if the UFC heavyweight division wasn't lacking "big players". I mean he submitted a rookie making a rookie mistake to get a title shot? And the rookie was pounding his face in before that? What was the record of Mir's past 6 fights?
And of course, what the hell Randy should have fought Nog before bitching over the UFC not signing Fedor... But that's old discussion...

Could happen I suppose.
