Dear Jrizzle and Aaron,

I believe Lycan was referring to intonation and pitch rather than vocabulary

Why don’t you try speaking his language? Oh, that’s right. You probably can’t.[/quote]

Yeah, lets see how good your Portuguese is before you start ripping on someone speaking another language.

“WHITE LIES”?

“GRRRR, i’d sure like to see what that freakin’ contract says about “4 fights in 18Months.”

Did WHITE get caught with his hand in the cookie jar, telling little “white’ Lies.

1. “Never said no to Randy Couture” Said no to a bonus right? No to extra tickets for family and friends to attend UFC events..lol. damn Dana is a CHEAP BASTARD. lol.
2. Dana said Randy was happy with his contract, Randy said he was not happy.
3. Dana said he hadn’t talked to Randy, Randy said he talked to Dana 2 1-2 weeks before he left to film and laid everyting out he said at the conference. Dana and the brothers did not respond. That’s basically no.
4. “Randy is 2nd Highest paid fighter? Maybe? PPV he got 500k.

NOTE: FALSE
-Yahoo Sports, Couture negotiated and signed before his comeback fight against Tim Sylvia in March is for four fights and between $13 million and $15 million, which puts him behind only Chuck Liddell, at four fights and $17 million, in the UFC salary pecking order. Those numbers are believed to include percentages of pay-per-view money.

Any other white lies I missed or didn’t get quite right on Couture/White?… if so… just add on.

Any lies Couture made?… forget the honoring contract part etc… just verbal public lies.

Much more entertaining that what “white had to say… too transparant.

[quote comment="194741"][quote comment="194686"][quote comment="194660"][quote comment="194624"]When it’s all said and done, I think that Dana and Randy will work things out. One thing that does surprise me somewhat though is why the Fertitta brothers would let the situation get to this point. At any rate, it is time for the Fertittas to hire someone to counterbalance Dana and smooth things over even if it’s just “window dressing”. Why not hire Randy?[/quote]

Because, while they certainly need someone to be a PR guy, the UFC would never, ever, ever give an important job to somebody who can’t be counted on to fulfill his contract.[/quote]
Very well put…[/quote]
——-
Dana didn’t honor his contract with Ken Shamrock. Contracts are no more than who has the best lawyers.[/quote]

Yes he did. The UFC made a contract that allowed them to drop a fighter in case he wasn’t up to snuff. That way if they signed a guy like Joe Scarola to a 3-fight deal, they aren’t FORCED to give him 2 more fights after he bombs his first one.

Don’t believe everything you hear, especially from disgruntled, narcissistic former employees (shouldn’t that be common sense?).

[quote comment="194510"]Randy says the contract says it had 4 fights in 18 months, dana sayint that Randy owes him 2 fights is his INTERPRETATION of it, 18 months is 18 MONTHS!! more like when you buy a car and you get 3 years/36k mile warranty, which ever one happens first. The contract expires in 9 months!! So Dana is fucked! no matter what he says, he is fucked.[/quote]

I didn’t catch that part, that’s what I was wondering… but I haven’t heard the particulars about it! Randy says resign, dana says we own him… I wonder what the clauses are?
