The following is a quote from Randy Couture when asked about a fight between the current interim UFC heavyweight champ Antonio Nogueira.
“… I’m 44 and looking at the end of my career. I want to fight the best guy in the world and be considered the best guy as well. That fight is the only way that will happen. It doesn’t make sense – the UFC is criticizing me for not fighting (Antonio Rodrigo) Nogueira, and I have a lot of respect for Nogueira. I think he’s a great fighter, but he’s been beat by Fedor twice. That fight doesn’t make sense for me right now. If I have more fights left in me after Fedor, maybe I’ll fight Nogueira then, but right now, it just doesn’t make sense.”
So the fight just doesn't make sense huh? Basically Couture doesn't want his legacy tarnished by losing to Big Nog. There isn't a doubt in my mind that Big Nog defeats Couture simply due to Couture's inactivity.
Still, how doesn't it make sense? You're the UFC champ, he's the interim UFC champ. You guys should fight. Anyone who doesn't realize what Couture is doing is an idiot. Couture is actually insulting our intelligence.
Couture doesn't wanna fight Nogueira because he lost to Fedor twice. Did Randy Couture forget he lost to Chuck Liddell twice in knockout fashion just a couple years ago? When did Randy Couture become that invincible?
He's gone too far folks. I have completely lost respect for Randy Couture now. He is putting himself way beyond MMA at this point. Why won't someone tell him we've figured it out? If he loses to Fedor, well he accomplished everything, and is commended for going in and fighting, yet should have lost. If he lands a lucky punch, he goes out on top. But at this point, the risks outweigh the benefits. By the time they fight, Couture may be on the cover of AARP magazine.
The UFC made Randy Couture rich, very rich. Now that he's very rich, he feels that he can call the shots. He's not that in touch with reality anymore and everyone is losing respect for him because of it.
What about Fedor's point of view? He's gonna fight Tim Sylvia because he needs to get some fights in. Maybe he thinks a fight with you doesn't make sense because you got knocked out twice by Chuck Liddell. At a lighter weight class no less. I don't think Fedor should go out of his way to fight Couture considering his lack of success in the light heavyweight division prior to retiring.
Randy Couture, if you aren't heard from anymore, you won't be missed. You're trying make yourself much bigger than MMA, the very thing that gave you all your success. In the future all of this is going to outweigh your accomplishments. Your legacy is already tarnished, regardless if you fight Fedor. Since you're not even fighting anymore, you should stay out of MMA news in the future.
The man who was once the most popular fighter on the planet has completely forgotten what it took to get him there. You're gonna read it hear but mark my words, Couture is gonna learn a harsh lesson about reality from this whole ordeal.
Goodbye Randy, not only are you not a warrior, you aren't even a man.

Here is what I think. Randy needs to fight who ever is the #1 contender in the UFC. You are the Champ and still have contract for fights. If we start this crap then MMA will become just like boxing, where nobody fights the best, they just fight whoever-whenever they want. Randy is great, no contest there, but come on man......fight the #1 guy in the org. that you are signed with.
Remember back when Riddick Bowe just kept refusing to fight Lennox Lewis? Just because Bowe knew he would get stomped by him. This is what it's turning into. I haven't been a Dana White fan as of late but he had a point. Randy Couture is a rich man, and he's a rich man because of Dana White and the UFC. Couture is trying to get the public to feel bad for him. Dana White said, Randy Couture is filthy rich, it's tough to feel bad for a filthy rich guy.
Totally Agree. Coture should just do what Lennox did at the end of his career. He knew he would get stomped by Klitchsko(Does it matter if I spell the guys name wrong) so he retired. If you do not want to fight the #1 guy then go home and sell Affliction T-shirts.
Go Tito!!
Damn!! I spelled Couture wrong also. I Stink!!
Go Tito
Its gotten so bad and ugly between Couture and the UFC that I don't even want to see the fight anymore. I could care less who Couture fights and even give less of a shit if he wins or loses. This whole thing with all the sissy-like drama has just turned me off. Bring in some new, hungry guys who arent going to bitch and wine so much. Thats my 2 cents!
