That's never going to happen. Fedor can make a lot more money fighting in Japan, where he's better-known and celebrated as an MMA legend. Also, he's older now (and slightly overrated), and would not be successful against the likes of Werdum (who's beaten him already), Velasquez, Miocic, et al.

2015 may turn out to be the UFC's worst year ever for injuries. Most recently, Matt Brown's had to pull out of his fight with Kelvin Gastellum, and Khabib Nurmagomedov injured a rib, knocking him out of his scheduled scrap with Tony Ferguson. There have been (seemingly) countless others this year. If you're like me, you're crossing your fingers like hell that McGregor / Aldo comes off without a hitch in December. Hopefully Aldo doesn't hurt his poor little rib again... heh heh.

the steroid report said that the urine was off a dead person or an animal....honestly randleman is putting no effort towards hiding his juicing

That really does imply a real lack of effort there. I would think that all the people that surround these guys, agents and media and all the stuff, if you really wanted to you could throw someone 100 dollars for a clean sample. Maybe not though, and maybe everyone is dedicated to the integrity of the sports and do not want to see substances used (I am kind of being sarcastic here, because I do not think this is the case). Maybe he will get better in the future.

Brandon Vera of the Philippines remains the heavyweight champion in the One Championship league. I wonder why Vera wouldn't fight in the UFC. Is it because UFC has a very high standard that One Championship fighters appappear to be of inferior quality when it comes to fighting skills?

...And that is a big maybe.
