Couture: At some point Fedor’s going to have to step up against the best

UFC “Hall of Famer”, Randy Couture has waded in on the Fedor debate following the news that the Russian’s latest fight with Fabricio Werdum was set to be pushed back further down the 2010 calendar, saying at some point the former PRIDE champion will have to face the best in the division.

Speaking via MMAPrime.tv, Couture said:

“At some point Fedor's going to have to step up and be willing to fight top level guys again. I don't know what's going on with him or why he's not willing to do that and certainly (Fabricio) Werdum is one of those guys he's going to have to face to be considered a top fighter. To be pound-for-pound best fighter in the world he's going to have to start facing tougher opponents. Hopefully we'll see [the Werdum] fight happen.”

MMABay broke the news on Sunday that Fedor has severely hurt his hand in training and could be out for a prolonged period of time. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as we get it.
