Would love to see this rematch....this is what Enson posted on his forum from an interview with Shoyoroll.com. This would be a great main event for a UFC Japan...
**Upcoming Fights?
"Like I said, for MMA, no 6 figure offer=no fight. There is rumour of the UFC wanting me to fight Randy Couture. I'm game if the money is right. I have nothing to gain by fighting Randy except $$$."
Would be interesting, but I doubt the UFC will approach him with a six-figure offer. His name means little to an American audience.
50k to show 50k to win.
There was nothing like Enson's armbars in the early days... His one on Alger fucking ruled, never forget it.
Good last pic in that series, Enson looks a little chuffed huh? :)
he looks like BJ'S physical role model
I like Enson but there are better matchups for Randy who isnt going to fight more than 3-4 times.
I have a feeling Enson is the one who started the 'rumor.'
Would rather see Franklin fight Chonan. Chonan has expressed interest in fighting for the UFC, good chance to do so.
It plays along the line of Horn vs Lidell........Maybe Randy wants this fight.....And there was a rumor that MVA was hurt during ADCC.
But I dont see the UFC giving Enson that kind of moey unless it was to happen in Japan...

I'd like to see it, but I doubt it will ever happen.
If it does, Randy by ref stoppage.
interesting!! Would love to see these two get it on again!!
Man Enson was a beast back then!
That win came after Couture took out Vitor. That was back when Vitor was destroying everyone. Most people didn't give Enson a chance and he let them know how he felt about it when it was over. I believe Enson once stated that he noticed Couture seemed susceptible to armbars after watching some of his fights.
I also read a statement where Enson said 9 times out of 10 he wouldn't expect a fight with Randy to be as one-sided as that fight was.
Enson is a cool guy he sent me an autographed pic of him armbarring Randy....
I also had a chance to meet and take pics with Randy at the last UFC and he was a great guy.....
Couture would not be the same fighter today and Enson woul dnot get that kinda cash from UFC.
"I also read a statement where Enson said 9 times out of 10 he wouldn't expect a fight with Randy to be as one-sided as that fight was." That kind of bravado might be enough to get The Natural's attention. I wonder how Couture feels about those comments and about Enson's more recent ones.
Those comments dont really mean shit to Randy probably. He has accomplished more in his career than Enson will, loss or no loss. Props to Enson for catching him, but I doubt it would happen again.
Randy would take it all in stride I'm sure. But maybe someone can drop that om him during the next interview he gives. I have Randy winning the rematch as well. Couture knows to keep his arms safely tucked more so now while in the guard.
Uh, Enson is giving Randy props in that quote. He's saying, yes I beat him quick, but if we fought ten times, I doubt I would beat him in that fashion very many times.
He's saying, Randy is awsome and it was my good fortune to beat him so quickly.
