If you look at it from UFC's point of view, if they can manage to put together the Fedor/Randy match instead of Affliction, doesnt that reduce the chances that they survive as a fight organization? They are already bleeding money as is.

I think Couture has two fights left with the UFC under his current contract (3 tops I believe) and unless there's been some recent headway in the UFC luring Fedor into a contract, best chance for Randy to get to fight him is t come back, finish off his contract and then do the Fedor fight while he can still physically represent himself well.
If he's signed a new deal (Couture that is), I'd take that as a heavy indicator that UFC has made progress with Fedor which of course would be huge for not only solidifying their HW division, but dealing Affliction a huge blow.
