if randy fights at 71, all the contenders are taken, aa is fighting werdum, mirko gonz kongo silva, then you have mir hardonk sometime end of april or somthing, dont know the date, then herring at 69, so all the legit contenders are taken, so if randy is fighting it wont be any of those guys and it sure in the hell wont be tim, so logic choice to make a huge draw and huge money would be tito randy, i think tito randy would be just as high as tito chuck 2, i mean yeah i understand tito just lost to chuck but oh well i know its shit but anyone hates tito wont care because he will get beat by randy, and any tito fan will be like oh yeah tito hw champ, then all tito haters would love to see tito win, im a tito fan but it wont happen, but if it did tito gets killed by mirko, i think most people would want to see mirko kill tito rather then randy, but tito wont be randy, so its a good sell. rather see chuck randy for the hw belt but oh well

Vera demanded crazy $$ so the UFC said screw u, are going to let him sit around till his contract is up(which is 1 more fight) then let him go bc they wont pay him the $$ he wants, which a rival company has already offered him a ton of cash, so hes gone

[Dork8503]

vera didnt demand anything, elite offerd him a bunch of money and he asked ufc to match it because he wanted to stay with them, i think ufcs return offer was like 200,000 a fight but without the sign bonus elite offerd him

instead of Tito they put Rampage in against Randy. That way Chuck could move up to win 2 titles. I know Rampage wants more then 1 fight before a shot at Chuck but how could he say no to a HW title shot. Not to mention as they were pumpin up Randy's return they kept showing Rampage.

I highly doubt it but maybe they wont have a title fight like UFC 70 and they let Couture wait for CroCop, but I hope it is Tito. If CroCops fight is anyhting like his last slaughter he could possibly get cleared to fight again that early.

na i dont think rampage would do it, he knows how bad mirko is

Well as of now Tito is fighting Jardine on the 71 card so it won't be him. Rampage I doubt it as far as fighting Randy goes. If Chuck doesn't fight there will probly be no title fight on the card, which without a Chuck fight looks pretty damn weak. And Randy could fight who Jake O'brien seems to be the only heavyweight that would have time to train. And that fight don't really excite me. Possible main event could be Rampage vs. Evans and the winner gets Chuck.

I believe that Randy sits out till after CroCop disposes of Gonzaga and sets up possibly one of the biggest events in UFC history: Couture vs. CroCop. In the meantime if Chuck is victorious against Rampage or his next opponent then he moves up to fight the HW champion (most likely CroCop, but I won't count out Couture EVER!). That is how it should work out in my opinion.

Afterwards, if Couture loses to CroCop he can drop weight and have another bout with Tito and retire for good after spanking Tito (literally) again.
