| Couture Only Has Eyes for Fedor and No One Else |
| The News - Mixed Martial Arts | Written by Brian Fritz | Sunday, 13 April 2008 | ||||||
 While UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture is engaged in a legal battle over his contract with the company, it seems that fans are starting to get antsy about wanting to see him fight again. But Couture only has one guy on his mind: Fedor Emelianenko. So what about a bout against interim UFC title holder Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera? In an interview with 15Rounds.com, Couture addressed that point.
"I’m 44 and looking at the end of my career. I want to fight the best guy in the world and be considered the best guy as well. That fight is the only way that will happen. It doesn’t make sense – the UFC is criticizing me for not fighting (Antonio Rodrigo) Nogueira, and I have a lot of respect for Nogueira. I think he’s a great fighter, but he’s been beat by Fedor twice. That fight doesn’t make sense for me right now. If I have more fights left in me after Fedor, maybe I’ll fight Nogueira then, but right now, it just doesn’t make sense.” While it could be a hell of a fight between 'The Natural' and 'Minotauro', it looks like that won't be happening and Randy only wants to walk that aisle with Fedor.
