I actually really wanna see that

Fedor Emelianenko and Randy Couture were at the Bellator media day to help promote this weekend's 'Dynamite' card. While not scheduled to fight each other (or even signed with the promotion), the two MMA legends still decided to do a face off for the media with Bellator head Scott Coker in between them. Watch the clip above courtesy of MMA Fighting.

Bellator looks like it's kind of short of getting it together but please do not join that organization, Fedor.

The rematch last night for WSOF wasn't as good as the 1st fight, but was still an entertaining slugfest.

David Branch being both the MW and LHW champ for the company

Aww fack. I knew I forgot to watch something.

I'ma have to wait til WSOF uploads it

I can't help but feel that Branch would get chopped up again in the UFC. Both guys he lost two became WWs in WSOF.

Chael claims on his podcast that the UFC is working on a catch weight of 205 Anderson Silva v Fedor if they can sign him

Silva would tool Fedor on the feet..

Emelianenko needs to stay his ass retired

You determined this how? Off of one comeback fight from a long ass injury layoff? Even with that, Silvas been way more active than Fedor.

Both of you don't know because no one knows how this will play out. They've both been great enough that I can see them beating the stuffing out of each other. I don't know how big of a size difference there is between them but Fedor is a small HW while Silva is a big MW.

Fedor's power is unquestioned and his takedown attacks are amazing. That hand trap into a huge looping hook transitioning into a double underhook take down. I'd put my money on Fedor. I know Silva is elusive and won't be easy to touch but Fedor knows how to make distance and bait Silva and then close distance. He's been the little guy in the HW division killing giants for a decade by close the gap.

Just caught the replay and lol, Tito dumbazz was just begging to be triangled, Wtf man.

Fedor back too, hmm. I wonder if it's for one fight of if he wants a few. Don't really wanna see a washed up Fedor get hurt. Hopefully he fights smarter (not safer).
