First I want to give a thanks to MMAChiq for the heads up on this.

Sources close to negotiations between the UFC and Fedor’s management have informed MMAFightline. com that the two sides are currently discussing a possible one fight deal that would bring Fedor to the cage, presumably to face Randy Couture.

It is unknown whether Couture would end his lawsuit and come back to the UFC to face Fedor if the UFC were able to offer such a fight, but Couture has stated on numerous occasions that this is the only fight that makes sense at this stage of his career.

It should be noted that nothing is eminent at this point and negotiations are in the general discussion phase. If made, however, the deal would be unprecedented. The UFC is notorious for locking up fighters in long term deals and not allowing them to leave as champions.

For those new to the sport Fedor is arguably pound for pound the best MMA fighter on the planet and if indeed this fight happens it would be a dream come true for hardcore fans.

Until next time, I’m out.
