Big Nog never lost to Dan Henderson. That was lil Nog… his twin brother. Two different guys.

[BIG BAD BRADICAL] STOP TALKING ABOUT CONTRACTS AND START TALKING ABOUT THE FIGHTERS… OH… WAIT, LET’S TALK ABOUT ARLOVSKI’S CONTRACT.

hahaha

Big Bad Brad contradicted himself in the same post. Nice!!!!

The UFC hasn’t disrespected Randy… he disrespected the UFC.. he’s not obligating his contract because he can’t get the fight he wants… and really… he doesn’t deserve it.. ya.. he went to HW and totally muffed up Tim and Gonzaga… but what happened before that… he got KTFO’d by Liddell.. i don’t think a 2 fight winning streak get’s you a shot at #1 in the world..

and i’d just like to say that i pretty much agree w/ #19.. except your third point.. i think Fedor would beat him through wrestling.. … .. he would definately overpower him… that’s for sure..

Breaking a contract due to a technicality still makes Randy a goat and a coward.

Dana has a huge team of lawyers wording those ridiculously impressive contracts. If Randy finds a loophole then good for him. I’m tired of seeing Dana and the Fertittas rake in what must be tens of millions at each event (Tito says ~fifty mil not counting merchandising, and he’s a better businessman than fighter these days so I kinda believe him) and still use these “we own you” contracts while paying them shit.

ttt …I was simply pointing out where it came from.

The fact that Fedor went to another league was his choice and his loss. The best fight and win or lose with the best, and the UFC uses this as leverage. Regardless, Fedor is not fighting the best right now, and is letting the game pass him by, and while he wastes time fighting guy’s I might have a half a chance against for a couple years, his game is going to errode. I agreed with the majority of the world a couple years back that he was probably the most skilled fighter out there, and I wanted to see him and Randy fight. Personally, I think that was the only fight Randy really wanted, which again would show his extremely competitive nature.

Breaking a contract due to a technicality still makes Randy a goat and a coward.

Every contract has holes in it because of wording.

Its like you can take the bible and make it say whatever you want it to say because you interpret things differently.

Some facts in my opinion on this whole mess
1. Randy walked out on a legal obligation. If any of us did it in the business world, we would be held financially responsible, so should he.
2. Randy would lose to Noguera. Randy comes out of no where and wins two fights at heavy weight against an injured Tim sylvia and a green Gonzaga. These two wins do not make him the number two HW in the world. Nog has fought in the division for 10 years and has revenged every loss except Fedor. He could quit tomorrow and be the universal #2 HW in the world.
3. Randy and Fedor will never fight. And it will be good for Randy, because Fedor may well kill him in the ring. Randy reads his own press to much in my opinion. He thinks he can hang with fedor. If Chuck can knock Randy out, Fedor might knock his nose to the back of his head.

The point of having a contract is so that the employment is not simply at will. At will basically means your employment is governed by state law and subject to whatever the state law says you can quit or be fired at any time. Having a contract with a term makes the parties agree that for a certain length of time the employee will not quit and the employer will not fire them (unless there is cause for termination (as defined in the agreement)) without facing certain consequences (e.g., foregoing bonus pay if you’re the employee, having to pay severance if your the employee).
