***Judge rules Couture violated contract

Zuffa Press Release
In a ruling made early last evening,

Las Vegas District Court Judge Jennifer Togliatti granted the request of Zuffa, LLC, owner of the UFC, for a preliminary injunction preventing Randy Couture and those acting in concert with him from violating Couture’s contractual commitment not to promote competing mixed martial arts events.

Specifically, Judge Togliatti agreed that it appeared Couture had violated his non-compete agreement with Zuffa by promoting the International Fight League’s (IFL) upcoming event to be staged Friday, February 29, 2008.

Judge Togliatti also granted Zuffa’s request to immediately conduct a deposition examination of Couture regarding other claimed violations of his one year non-compete agreement.

Zuffa attorneys, Donald Campbell and Colby Williams, stated they look forward to examining Couture under oath regarding what they termed “Couture’s chronic and brazen violations of his contractual obligations to Zuffa.”

I heard that PRIDE just signed some guy named Faydor. I wonder if he's any good.

No shit. I love Randy but what he did was wrong and he knows it. I don't feel sorry for him. He should've waited for his contract to end before promoting the competition's event. Dumb on Randy's part.

I'm on the fence. But I don't feel sorry for anyone who's rich. Zuffa or Couture. But we're missing fights because of this. Damn.

Damn! You told him bro! I'm sure this will bother him in a couple of years so you can use that thought to masturbate at night.
