According to MMA Junkie (courtesy of Couture's training camp), there is a distinct possibility that the heavyweight superfight of the century could occur between Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko in January or February of next year.

Although still in the negotiations stage, it appears that representatives of both fighters and the UFC are working on bringing the two legends together. Couture has remained in shape during his layoff period, but his workouts have reportedly been focused towards an apparent up and coming bout with a much larger opponent - possibly Brock Lesnar. Speculation has it that it may be a condition that Couture defeats Lesnar in order to get a shot at Fedor.
