Randy Couture, former UFC heavyweight champion, explained why his fight with Fedor Emelianenko. According to Couture, 13 months were spent trying to organize this mega fight, but ultimately the parties did not reach an agreement.

“Did you want to leave the UFC to go to Pride and fight Fedor? No, no, I didn’t try to get into Pride. We tried to just make this fight. I wasn’t against the UFC organizing it, but the UFC didn’t succeed. We have what we have. I spent a lot of time and money. 13 months to try to make this fight,” said the mixed martial arts veteran.
