|  Couture suffers another legal defeat
In Randy Couture court case, latest round goes to UFC | MMAjunkie.com Quote:
Sherdog.com is reporting that current UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture has suffered another legal setback in his quest to win his contractual freedom from the parent company of the UFC, Zuffa.
Dallas Mavericks and HDNet owner Mark Cuban, acting on Couture’s behalf, had been trying to arrange for a motion for a summary judgment declaring Couture’s contractual status and for it to be heard in a Texas court and away from Zuffa’s home state of Nevada.
Zuffa had filed for a motion to be granted a stay from having the matter ruled on outside of Nevada, which is where the contract had been executed. On Friday, that motion was granted and pending an appeal, Cuban will not be able to have a ruling made on Couture’s current status decided by a Texas court.
The matter is still not closed though, as Cuban is expected to appeal the court’s decision to the Texas Supreme Court.
According to Sherdog, the legal dispute between Zuffa and Couture will now shift back to Las Vegas. The site indicates that arbitration hearings have commenced to try and bring forth a resolution that will end the nine months of contentious relations between the two parties. It is unclear if a settlement of some kind could be a realistic possibility.

for a guy who's always been viewed as a very successful businessman, Cuban is sure being a dumbass here. The Texas Supreme Court wont even be able to get the case moved from Nevada to Texas...like the article says, the contract was signed and sealed in NV...WTF is he thinking?

For every day that passes it seem more unlikely we will ever see Randy vs. Fedor. What a shame.

Couture seriously...Not only did he lie, but he's wasted so much time. It's not like the guy isn't old, hah. I don't see how he wins, to tell you the truth.

if they fought in russia AMerica couldn't injunction it. IF they fought right now you think they'd have time to stop it?
