Instead, the UFC signs Randy (a guy who has lost twice at LHW via KO) and put him in there with their champ (and people get mad when other non-#1 contenders get a title shot) and he wins. Of course it is a feel-good story. Then Randy goes on to defend the title against Gonzaga and beats him too.

This is the crazy part – The UFC couldn’t sign Fedor. Who knows or cares why not, but it didn’t happen. So, in protest (I guess) Randy quits. And he wants out of his contract…the contract he signed less than a year earlier. And people are surprised the UFC didn’t want to release him?

The UFC had just spent a lot of time and money building him (at the expense of Sylvia and others I imagine) as their #1 guy, and now they were just supposed to let him walk away and fight elsewhere? Who did Randy think he was kidding? I couldn’t ever see that happening anywhere else in the business world.

People who think Randy should be allowed out of his contract because “he only has 1 or 2 fights left” shouldn’t be bashing the UFC; they should be bashing Randy.

Athletes signing contracts then crying about how it isn’t fair gets old fast.

Meanwhile, the Nevada action is still pending, and if the Nevada court’s disposition is in conflict with whatever the Texas court does, there will be an appeal of one or both decisions.

Unless the parties settle this amongst themselves, this could take years to sort out.

After Mir lost to Vera and Cruz, not AA.

Honor his contract? He is honoring his contract, and depending on what the court’s decision is, he will honor that. The contract is ambiguous at best, and the court’s ruling will ultimately define the contract.

Also, he is pretty old, and only has one or two fights left in him. Is it so bad that he wants to go out fighting the best. Face it, Fedor was NOT going to sign with the UFC and Randy, AA, Tito, and Sylvia are all going to make a KILLING, paywise, rather than being sat on the bench or put on a non televised undercard due to petty disagreements with Dana for the UFC. Face it, the UFC DOES NOT have ALL the best fighters, specially HWs. Nog vs Mir and Lesnar vs Coleman are your top featured HW bouts? Mir goes for the title after beating 1-0 Brock Lesnar and previously losing to Pe De Pano and AA.

So I guess no one out there has quit their job to find a better one if they get treated better and get paid more? No, you guys want Randy to honor his contract, just to satisfy his petty and childish fans who admire him like a GOD and say he is the UFC and an American Hero, and now you are SICK of him and the fight has lost its luster. GIVE ME A BREAK. Fedor vs Randy would still be an INCREDIBLE match and EVERYONE would watch.

Like I told everyone before, the UFC is not a sport, but Sports Entertainment, just like WWE and PRIDE.

Its been 7 months, how has the luster of this fight worn off already?

What other big heavyweight would you rather see? i don’t know about you but Lesnar vs Colman, Kmbo vs. Thompson, or Big Nog vs. Mir….doesn’t get my blood boiling like a possible

Couture vs. Fedor match up

what would you choose?

Yeah and even if it didn’t happen in the UFC it could have happened elsewhere and I would have been excited.

To me this is like when TO was wanting more money in Phili or Chad Johnson in Cincin.
