Yeah I gotta think Couture's staying out of front line action.
But then I thought that after hearing of Ian Freemans retirement after his accident & now he's fighting Melvin Manhoaf on 1st July.
Actually that would be probably have been the lamest reason an MMA fighter retired. Fell of a horse whilst doing equestrian!

Well, Couture did say it was the last time you were "going to see these gloves and shorts in this octagon". I took that to mean he'd fight against certain people, like Silva, in another organization if he got the opportunity. Though I've never heard of anything between them being negotiated.

Didn't Randy wrote a 3 fight contract with UFC (or Dana?) before his last fight with Iceman? So his next 2 fights would have to have their blessing if he's to fight outside the octagone?

SO if he returns it will have to be to the UFC or with their permission.
