Comments on: UFC takes round one in legal battle with Randy Couture http://mmamania.com/2008/03/01/ufc-takes-round-one-in-legal-battle-with-randy-couture/ UFC news, event schedules, fight analysis, Octagon predictions, UFC fighters and MMA thoughts Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:59:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Javier http://mmamania.com/2008/03/01/ufc-takes-round-one-in-legal-battle-with-randy-couture/#comment-363628 Javier Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:06:32 +0000 http://mmamania.com/2008/03/01/ufc-takes-round-one-in-legal-battle-with-randy-couture/#comment-363628 I think those against Randy are misinformed or uninformed as to the current situation going on throughout the UFC. Fighters all through the ranks of the UFC have had problems with Zuffa and especially its puppet "Dana White." Randy is not the only heavyweight to walk away from the UFC due to poor treatment, the "Pit Bull" Andrei Arlovski has also been noted as having problems similar to Couture, and Tim Silvia also expressed past problems regarding financial issues. These are only a few of the growing number of fighters who are beginning to speak out against the UFC, a stance which was once only held by Tito Ortiz. Boxing will never have anything close to the excitement of MMA, but it does have one thing right...fair compensation of fighters. The current compensation of fighters in the UFC is gross! It is the complete opposite of what boxing provides which is a fair (~90%) of the earnings, but UFC only provides fighters with at most 10%. Boxing actually has a sport, not just one organization trying to dominate a market, which is what is happening with the UFC. We need to always support our fighters not that mouth piece Dana White. We shouldn't fall for the framing of these fighters as money hungry, selfish, or greedy...follow the money and see who the true money hungry people are.

The Law is on their side!! HE VIOLATED A CONTRACT!![/quote] [quote comment="337371"]by the time Zuffa and UFC get done with Couture, he'll probably need rehab. Fedor Vs. Couture will never see the light of day, HDNET Fights contract? lawsuit? yeah sure that is a JOKE! He violated a legal document, I wonder how Couture will respond when UFC lawyers show him the copies of the checks with his signature on it, and ask him "are these not the checks you said you did not receive as bonus from UFC?" his ass is grass!![/quote] But why does the ins and outs of the contract concern you personally? I mean you sound as if you would actually be upset if Randy vs Fedor did happen... All I'm saying is there is no doubt Randy violated the contract but the actions by the UFC inregards to sueing him is a bit extreme considering he is willing to finish out the time clause part of it and considering the fact that he, up until this point(i guess) has been a stand up guy and has already done much more to the UFC than the UFC has done for him.. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD give this guy a chance to fight and go out like the true Capt. America by letting him fight FEDOR as a champ...After all at his age he probably would have no desire training for anyone else.

Man nothing will ever make me believe that Randy is not a loyal person who lives by an honest code.. EVERYONE HERE SHOULD KNOW most contracts have Terms & Conditions which are meant to FUCK YOU or in other words protect you(which is what they tell you). I mean come on guys you know it doesn't take much for an Empire like the UFC to crush one of it's little guys.. My point is that Dana White said that the UFC was doing fine before Randy came back and it will do fine now that he's gone..YET..he wont let him go.. And TRUTH BE TOLD everyone should be on RANDY's side b/c if your a true fight fan why do you care about legal bullshit and he say, she say media jargon when what you should really be concerned about is the fact that the UFC is the only thing preventing the FEDOR VS RANDY SUPER FIGHT..
