"I would have to say that my Dream Fight would be to watch Cain Velasquez vs Fedor Emelianenko. The world has tabbed Fedor as the #1 heavyweight, whereas I believe Cain is the best heavyweight in the world. This fight would be epic! Two true mixed martial artists with gas tanks that last for weeks. They are both hard nosed competitors, each with their own unique fighting styles. Ultimately, I see Cain getting his hand raised in this hard fought five round battle." - Aaron on his dream fight.
“Saturday's UFC 109 main card, Couture vs Coleman, is a fight that many are calling a 'has been" fight. But for those of us who have followed these two's careers dating back to their prolific wrestling career, there is a little more interest. You see, Mark Coleman was an NCAA Champion at the Ohio State University and Randy Couture lost in the finals. Coleman was a World Silver Medalist in Freestyle, whereas Couture was only a World Team Member in Greco Roman and never won a medal. Coleman made the Olympic Team in 1992, Couture did not. From a wrestlers perspective, Coleman was the better, more accomplished wrestler. This is Mixed Martial Arts...not wrestling. Randy Couture may be one the the toughest both physically and mentally that this sport has ever seen. Mark Coleman had a great run over in Japan and is now back in the UFC trying to reestablish himself as a true contender. He is saying all the right things. He knows he has not trained very hard for past fights and is not making excuses. He realizes he is the underdog and says that he has rededicated himself to the sport and to his training. Randy has never been in a fight that he has not prepared for 100%. It is the only way he knows how to fight. Being a freestyle wrestler myself, it is hard to say this, but Greco Roman wrestlers at the highest level of competition are quite possibly some of the toughest SOB's on the planet. In closing, I believe that Randy's toughness, conditioning and overall MMA skill will ultimately be the key factor in his victory over Mark Coleman. I am looking forward to the fight, because I am a fan of both and cannot wait to see who shows up!” - Aaron on the Couture-Coleman fight.
