See the Russians want Fedor to have a warm up fight before he fights a big name in the UFC cause he's used to the 4 side ring and his team involves alot of communication. They're worried about the cage. So they want him to have a walk over fight to get used to it. If i'm Dana White, unless you're planning to hold Couture from action for about 5 to 6 months, you have to take advantage of the Couture train while its moving. You cant risk having Couture losing a fight before Fedor gets his shot. The biggest money UFC can dream of right now is Randy Couture vs Fedor for the title. So i dont think Dana would be happy with Fedor taking a warm up fight first. I'm not saying that Fedor is wrong for wanting to do so. I'm simply saying that Couture whos become a underdog hero this late in his career and nothing less then an absolute incredible story with what he's accomplished, vs Fedor who is widely considered the best MMA fighter in the world today. You cant just sit on that. You gotta cash in on that fight right away. You cant risk Couture fighting another fight after the Gonzaga fight and losing. Not to say he cant lose to Gonzaga. I just dont see it happening. If Couture beats Gonzaga, Dana will get Fedor signed and i dont see how he can possibly want Fedor having any other fight then the Couture fight. It will be the biggest fight in UFC history. It need to be cashed as soon as possible. While the Randy train is still moving full steam ahead cause if Randy loses a fight and loses that belt, he's probably retiring and they'll miss the Fedor vs Randy fight.
