datos del contrato de Couture

Randy Couture held a press conference from his Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas on Thursday where he addressed his decision to resign from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

"I'm saying I simply left the UFC," the current heavyweight champion said. "It would be silly for me to say I'm going to retire again. Nobody's going to buy that anyway."

Addressing whether or not he would fight again, Couture responded, "I don't have a crystal ball. I certainly have fights left in me. There's only really one fight that makes a lot of sense and would have hoped that could have happened in the UFC with Fedor (Emelianenko). I don't think that's going to happen.

"I believe I'm the best fighter I've ever been right now. I also don't operate under the impression that that's going to last forever. Whether or not I fight again is certainly up in the air at this point."

With the recent emergence of M-1 Global there has been speculation as to whether he would end up fighting Emelianenko under the new promotion's banner.

Couture answered that saying, "I'm under UFC contract for a minimum of nine more months. I signed an 18-month contract with the UFC, so unless that fight happens in the UFC, it's not going to happen anywhere else for at least nine more months."

Which leads to one of the hottest topics since his resignation: the parameters of his contract. Couture and his camp have argued the duration of nine months. UFC president Dana White has argued that Couture owes the UFC two fights. Therein lies the issue. Is the contract for the nine-month term or for two more fights?

"It's whatever the number of bouts are that you signed for and a term,

Muy muy interesante las declaraciones.
Uno de los puntos mas interesantes, es el que dice (si no he entendido mal) que le restan 9 meses de contrato con UFC, y que si kieren que luche con Fedor antes de ese tiempo, sera en UFC... que no va ser en ningun otro sitio.

Gracias bud!

LEED ESTO Q ES MUY INTERESANTE PARA SABER LO Q COBRA UN LUCHADOR (P.EJ. COUTURE) POR COMBATE


From the moment Randy Couture (Pictures) tendered a faxed letter of resignation to the offices of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, both sides have waged a war of words more notable for parsing than vitriol.

With the "resigned" vs. "retired" debate cleared up for anyone willing to listen, a new argument has arisen in the wake of Couture's news conference Thursday at his gym in Las Vegas.

Among the litany of issues the lame duck heavyweight spoke on during his first extended session with media since his UFC departure, money, whether the 44-year-old Couture liked it or not, remains at the forefront.

Walking a linguistic tightrope, the for-now UFC champion attempted to convey that from his perspective the decision to return the belt and shed all affiliations with the sport's dominant organization was not simply a matter of how many zeros were on his paychecks.

Yet those zeros appear to be a significant component in his definition of "respect," which Couture says is at the crux of his problem with UFC management.

"I don't think anybody is going to feel sorry for me making the kind of money I've made in this sport," Couture said. "I've made more money in this sport than I've ever made doing anything else, so I'm not bitching. But how do you show an athlete that you respect his marketability and what he brings to the table, in the NFL or any other sport? By what you pay him. That's the bottom line."

That contradiction, while muddling Couture's motivations for stepping down as the UFC's grandest champion, has helped shine a bright light on how and how much the UFC pays its mixed martial artists.

Couture expressed his discontent six weeks ago over breakfast with the company's owner, Lorenzo Fertitta, and president, Dana White.

"It wasn't like I was sitting at that breakfast when I had my letter of resignation, saying,

que randy deje de soltar mierda sobre los tios que le han dado todas las oportunidades que ha pedido y pelee contra fedor(y que gane)

Re: Ofrecen 3 millones de dolares por el combate entre Fedor y Couture

1,6 millones de dolares de ingreso UFC por la pelea contra Sylvia (bolsa + PPV + bonus "fuera de libro"), y algo parecido con Napao, sumado a sus patrocinadores y gimnasio... joer, pues aun gana dinero el tio! (q me alegro)

Parece ser q los motivos de dejar UFC no fueron solo economicos y la pasta no fue lo mas importante para largarse
