WOW. I partially see where he is coming from. It is either Fedor or avenge losses. By this stage and age I don't blame him for not wanting to waste time just fighting. Most only think the chuck loss affects his career.
****. Now What? The UFC really ****ed this all up. They went from acquiring and having a shitload of stars at Heavy to this. Crocop? Done. Couture? Done. Fedor? Never even got him. Nog? Looked like **** Sylvia? Everyone already hated him Gonzaga? Exposed Vera and Arlovski better start picking it up.
Since Randy is now officially either retired or a Free Agent, he could possibly go sign with this same stupid **** Fedor did and we can get the fight.
That's what I was thinking. I guess it would bring them some quick popularity as well.... However, I wouldn't doubt that the UFC has some sort of "fine print" that may prevent that from happeniing.
Check out Randy's comments on another mma site.. HE not only quit but he is pissed off at the UFC and the management. Saying such things as Dana and other "bold faced lied to me" Watch...just watch...another promotion (or 2) is nipping at UFCs heels before long. And don't be surprised if Randy surfaces with someone else and many many fighters follow. The toughtalking Dana may have gotten a bit too arrogant for his own good.

Did anyone get confirmation on who bought M1? Someone was saying it was possibly Cuban (I haven't followed the stories today). If that's the case, and they do sign Couture when his contract expires in 9 months, they could get the heavyweight super fight that would put them on the map. I'm quite shocked by this news, but I like to see Dana White humbled.
I think you are probably thinking along the right lines. Might not be Cuban but I think Dana is about to be dealt a crushing blow. Never underestimate the Russians .... thats a fact.
