Comments on: Couture says courts could decide on his contractual status this week

Does nobody find it odd that something as simple as a 4 fight, 1-year deal (or whatever the length was) that it isn’t clear whether or not you have to fight 4 times, or if you only fight 2 times and a years time passes, the contract has been fulfilled? This seems so simple, and something that any fighter or promotion should know…

yo anyone saw harvey two face. well thats what im seeing with so many dudes on this site.

like what the fuck a week ago “fedor is overrated” blah blah go fuck yourself blah ufc rules blah blah blah

now your all saying his praisies, and how couture is now overrated.

what kind of shit is that. im confused with the ufc sometimes cause their eating their own words/contracts and are now being shown for being bullshit artists with contracts that wont hold up in any courts, cause promoters cant be managers.

it would create bullshit fights like fuckin brock lesnar vs. anyone, how many fuckin loses would you pay the guy to have.

im sick of that company, just watch wanderlei silva explain who his fighting next in the ufc after he beat jardine in the press conference

“who do you wanna fight wanderlei”

wanderlei “its not up to me, the boss chooses everything”

dana white’s face was priceless.

#25 settle down, they think Fedor would kill Randy so what? you think he wouldn’t so what? no need to call them f#cking idiots OK…I mean jez.

Theres to many fucking idiots that post on this form… Just becuase Fedor beat fat ass Tim in 30 seconds and it took randy 25 mins means fuck all, each fighter matches up differently with different people… Wanderlei beat Jardine in 10 seconds.. Jardine Beat Liddell 3 and Liddell beat Wandy in 3, it means fuck all how long it takes. Randy’s the man and knows how to implement a game plan he wont get murdered by Fedor.

Affliction should sign kevin Randleman, jeff Monson, and ricardo Arona. I think Randy would have a good game plan against Fedor but the fight needs to happen soon because he is getting too old.

@ 21 cff. Did you read my comment’s correctly? I am saying I’d like to see Andrei vs. Fedor next. ASAP, matter of factly. Given Randy’s current situation, it is VERY hard to say when he’ll fight Emelianenko. When, where and what org it will take place in is all but certain. You need to look at the big picture as it is very large and complex.

Saying AA vs. Fedor “could” be good is a huge understatement. You shold know better than that.

I also stated that I’d like to see Barnett against Fedor. A lot of people would. IMO, it should happen next year in Japan. This bout should’ve happened already but it hasn’t. Maybe it never will? I for one would like to see it take place.

At the end of the day, I’d really like to see Fedor end up in the UFC. Thus, a lot of my assumption’s may not happen.

If WAMMA could follow up the Fedor fight with a defense against the likes of Randy or Josh, it would be huge!

Barnett??? Are u kidding me? He looked ok, but not dominant? It was a good combo he threw but any one can get caught? He looked slow, and was tired. Tim Silva V Barnet would be a good fight, or it could be a “tim snore fests”?? Fedor V Arlov could be good, AA has a “suspect chin” but has Great movement and way improved boxing, I still think fedor takes him down and rips his arm off or put’s something
“on my throat and it hurt real bad, so I had to tap”
Tim Silvia

Funny thought. Had Couture fought out his last two fights, he’d be able to face Fedor in November. That makes me smile.

It seems to me that the most logical step for Affliction would be to hold a bout between Fedor and Andrei. The plan, according to them is to hold another show in the Fall. That would be a good time to hold this bout. Both looked extremely impressive on Saturday. This would be my first choice for Fedor’s next opponent given the current circumstances.

I would also rather see Fedor vs. Barnett held in Japan. It was to bad this bout never happen during Pride FC’s existance. I somewhat feel this match is owed to the people of Japan as both are HUGE star’s there. It just seems like the right thing to do.

In a perfect world, Fedor vs. Randy would’ve already taken place in the UFC. I think Affliction may have jumped the gun in having Randy show up in the ring. Possibly delaying it even further (not to mention HDNET in the picture as well).

Andrei and Josh are both former UFC champion’s. There are no legal issue’s preventing a bout with Emelianenko in the Fall. Such is not the case with Couture. So, now we wait…

ya..
i’m definitely looking more forward to Barnett/Fedor and AA/Fedor right now..

i think Randy should’ve just stayed with the UFC [THE PLACE THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS AND WHO HE IS TODAY] and had a few more good fights w/ Nog, Mir, Lesnar, etc. etc. and then called it a career..

Randy does not deserve a title shot against Fedor. He is extremely over rated and after watching Fedor do in 30 seconds what Randy couldn’t do in 25 minutes shows it. This is why Dana does not want Randy to leave the org, the plan was to have Fedor join the UFC beat the snot out of Randy, have Randy step down as Captain America and Fedor continue to reign supreme in the UFC. Dana has always thought highly of Fedor just like he has always though highly of Wandy and all of the PRIDE guys. Dana is a business man and like smart business men you can’t talk your opponents up and letting Randy go get beat by Fedor in another Org is not acceptable. If that happens the Org (if it be Affliction or w/e) would have the legitimate HW champion and probably a stronger chance at lasting and competiting with the UFC.

@#13 Dude, did you actually watch the UFC’s featuring him and Chuck? The UFC made sooooo much money off that matchup, Randy and Chuck are two incredibly popular fighters.
Randy isn’t calling him out now because they don’t fight in the same weight class anymore, and I doubt any promotion with a brain is going to try to market that fight again anyway. He called out Fedor because he wants to fight Fedor before he retires for good. And he deserves to.

The UFC has earned the right to have Randy fight wherever and whenever he wants to.

At least, the next two times.

IMO Randy is overrated. Look at his record prior to him defeating Sylvia. I also feel he came out of retirement not because he wanted to fight the best but because he thought he could beat Sylvia. You don’t hear him calling out Chuck do ya? Why? Cause Chucked punched him into retirement. The UFC re-signed Randy giving him a pay increase and a signing bonus. They gave a guy who was on a losing streak an immediate title shot. Look at Randys record and look at how many title fights theyve given him. The UFC has been generous to Randy and only his last few bouts have they both made money from it. The UFC lost money on Randys earlier fights yet Randy proffited.

” this nonsense doesn’t happen in the NFL, NBA etc. ”

Thats because they have them tied down much stronger in those leagues.

Unfortunately this is out of the fighter’s hands. What a pity, this nonsense doesn’t happen in the NFL, NBA etc. He is a puppet to the promoter, which is ultimately wrong and sad.
