the UFC doesn't really need Randy at this point. All Dana White does is tarnish both his and the UFC's reputation everytime he talks. Neither party could possible recover their losses from all this so the UFC should just forget this nonsense and release Randy from his contract.

Dana has fans? Since when?

How was this in anyway unexpected. The entire purpose of suing Randy was to stop him from promoting competing fighting promotions while still under a promotional noncompete agreement and still under a fight contract.

I think neither party has covered themselves in glory amongst this debacle. Zuffa (note - not just Dana) can't allow Couture to get away with not honouring his contract as it would set a dangerous precedent with current fighters on their roster. They need to make a stand to protect their business.

That being said this whole situation stinks and this doesn't reflect well on the sport as a whole.

Arg! More Randy news. Ok well this was a bit interesting actually. Even if you AGREE with Randy you have to agree with what astepawayfromx said in another thread:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm most certainly a fan of MMA. However the Martial arts part of Mixed Martial arts indicates a certain amount of honor. If Mr. Coture wanted out of his contract, why not fight his few fights, and then move on. As anyone who has taken any martial arts classes know honor is one of the most important aspects of the art form. Throughout this situation he has been extremely dishonorable. I would expect these type of actions from a promotor (Dana White) however, a fighter, no, a human being should honor his word. Whether through a contract, or a handshake. Regardless of legal presedence, both parties signed a contract last year with the intention of Randy Coture fighting a certain number of fights for the UFC. To back out of that, and decide you want to fight elsewhere no matter the reason seems to me to be dishonorable, and that's what matters to me.

Randy should have just honored his contract. Zuffa did NOTHING wrong other than trying to force Randy to honor his contract. Yes their contract is pretty binding, but Randy AGREED to it.

I cant wait to see UFC vs Randy on Jerry Springer

Good. I hope they follow through and actually find a way to make this restraining order happen. Looks good on Randy that's for sure.
