Thanks, now dont get me wrong I like randy. But randy is screwing him self He a a great relationship with the ufc. He should have just faught his last 2 fights and gone eles where to do movies or what ever he wants to do. Now him and dana or fighting and both of them were good friends before this. I think randy is in the wrong no one forced him to sign, he did it all on his own. DON"T get me wrong I love watching randy fight and respect him for everything he as done I just hope him and the ufc can resolve their issues

Thet're not screwing him, they're enforcing a legal binding agreement he violated. I have no sympathy for him. Coming off 2 devestating losses to Liddell, the UFC gives him a lucrative contract to come back at HW. He then proceeds to use his exposure in the cage as well as UFC productions like All Access to further bolster his status and noteriety and busunesses, and then, at the highest point of his popularity ...... he faxes a big F-U to the UFC and decides he's become to big of a star to be held down by anything so trivial as a contract.

He begged for this legal whooping, and this is only the beginning.

GOOD. Hopefully Zuffa wont have to hand Randy his ass in court too many times before he finds his go-nads and takes the fight with Big Nog...but we all know randy FEARS Big Nog.

We have an interesting phenomena in American society. We hate corporations. lol. Corporations are a big part of what makes this country the land of opportunity. Now there are certainly bad, unscrupulous companies, but many of us side with the "little guy" 100 percent of the time. We just figure the corporation must be wrong, they're an evil, dastardly corporation after all. This is not the case here.
Randy had a contract; Fact. Randy agreed to the terms and signed that contract; Fact. Randy at a certain point decided he didn't like some of the terms of a contract he had already signed; Fact. Randy and his people decided to violate his contract knowing he was doing so; Fact. Randy is trying to directly compete with the UFC while still bound by this contract; Fact. People should put themselves in the position of the employer once in awhile. What would you do if you ran a business, and one of your biggest money makers and champions decided to tear up an agreement he signed with you and head over across the street and compete against you. He does this because he now, although agreeing to be paid a certain amount by you, decides he wants more money now, not after his contract is fulfilled, but right this second. Would you go ahead and let him take your business? I'm so surprised that so many people are with Randy on this one. Why? because he's battling the big bad corporation? is that the only reason? The man is wrong. It's really that simple.

I call B.S. on this one, randy should be allowed to corner his guys, although the IFL shouldn't be allowed to promote him or use his image to entice people to buy tickets.

I bet he does fear nog.

That would be such a sweet fight too. Nog would not only outstrike Randy, but eventually submit him

Randy's only shot would be to win by decision, and I dont see him holding Nog against the fence for 25 minutes

Agreed 100% and rep'd

Although I do want to see Randy/Fedor fight, it doesn't change the fact that Randy is in the wrong with his contract situation. Besides, we have a better fight than Randy vs Fedor tomorrow night...

Knowledge Known said it well too, but I agree with what you both said. I wish that he woulda just fought isntead of bitching out liek this.

Why most people hat corporations is because they shit on their workers and put profit over everything else.
Seems like you have never worked for a corporation.
Also we always go for the underdog, its the David over Goliath factor.

Get over it he's not coming back, he so said so himself he doesn't consider himself the UFC Champion he says Nog is the Champ.

I keep hearing "he signed a contract", "he signed a contract", talk about beating a dead horse this October he will be free from his contract unless you guys think he is under contract for the rest of his life?

Brock Lesner did the same thing to the WWE years back, he walked out on his contract.

As I said before contracts are broken everyday thats why there is a legal system to deal with it.
Contracts aren't written in blood and no one can force some one to do anything against their will, contract or not.
