I agree with everyone that Randy would have demonstrated more integrity by honoring his UFC contract and fighting Nog. But I don’t read anyone criticizing the UFC about their role in the situation. I am guessing that the UFC took advantage of Randy’s eagerness to come out of retirement as a light heavy weight to immediately fight Tim Sylvia for the heavyweight championship, by only offering him a small amount of money. Nevertheless, Randy beat Sylvia, then successfully defended his belt, probably again for not a lot of money. Meanwhile, Randy became a megastar, drawing in phenomenal sums of money for the UFC, while Pride fighters were probably making more money than he was. I bet Randy asked the UFC for more money to keep fighting, but they did not want to set a precedent and start paying successful fighters more than their contract stated. Because the UFC was probably paying Randy very little and he was making them so much money, they should have offered him more of a bonus for continuing to win, which may have kept him in the UFC.

Sick of this.

Defend your belt, honor your contract, fight NOG, then leave if it’s so terrible.

Randy has turned the MMA world into a future boxing fiasco.

Thanks Couture!

randys a great fighter but hes taking the contract thing way 2 far. He should just smash Nog and Fedor then retire as a legend. Kimbo will be the next best thing watchout.

Bored of this shit now.

Randy get in the Octagon and honour the contract that you signed. Lose your belt and then fight where ever you want.
