I wonder how many tickets they gave this judge. The las vegas athletic commission gave a judge free tickets so he would not rule in favor of a federal commission. The UFC use to give Marc Ratner 150 tickets to there shows before they employed him. He was the director of the Las Vegas Athletic commission. Armando Garcia of the CSAC told me this one. The UFC has an ex Las Vegas Attorney General working for them, they can do what ever they want in Vegas. The CSAC attorney general Earl Plowman lied to a judge in California to put an injunction on my Kage Kombat to get me out of the mix because I originated the Octagon and so the UFC could get control of the sport in 2000. We have to do away with these corrupt athletic commissions. Write your senators.

Other fight promotions have benefitted from TUF- a lot. After Randy came out of retirement, they gave him an immediate shot at the title, which he of course won. That didn't exactly hurt his career, and without the UFC none of this would have happened. This is to say nothing of the fact that his pay was higher than everybody's except Chuck. Not bad for being an aging fighter with many losses on his record, huh?

Nobody shafted Randy Couture.
im a randy fan and i dont feel "screwed". the ufc needs randy alot more then he needs them. zuffa can do all they want but randy vs fedor will happen and im hoping it doesnt happen in the us. id rather they fight in japan but im sure hdnets will put on a us show.

zuffa wont win this in the end, they thought they had every pride fighter under contract when they bought them haha. zuffa said FU to randy then randy said well, FU too. in the end randy makes out no matter what. he will get paid for his troubles. thank god AA made it out, not that dana had a choice, it was either have him fight or his contract expires. they tried to get that last jab by sticking him on pre-lims but i have a feeling AA will KO him in the first.

The UFC needs Randy more than Randy needs the UFC? That's just plain wrong. The UFC can afford to lose an aging fighter like Randy Couture. The promotion is bigger than just one fighter, no matter who he is.

How exactly did Zuffa say "fuck you" to Randy. Please be specific.
