Randy Couture (Pictures), the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and one of mixed martial arts most revered fighters, notified the UFC via fax from South Africa at 11 o'clock Thursday morning that he has chosen to resign from the UFC, "The Natural" confirmed with Sherdog.com.
"I sent the letter of resignation to the UFC today, resigning not only from my position in the company as a commentator and as an ambassador, but also as the heavyweight champion," Couture said over the phone from South Africa, where he is currently filming a movie.
"The motivation for the decision is two-fold," he continued. "I know Fedor (Emelianenko) just signed with another organization and that's the only real fight that makes sense for me at 44 years old as the heavyweight champion of the UFC. That's the fight I wanted and if that can't happen it doesn't make sense for me to compete with all these other guys. And then obviously that's not going to happen now. And, two, I'm tired of being taken advantage of, played as the nice guy and basically swimming against the current with the management of the UFC. I have a lot of other things going on in my life that I'm doing just fine with. I don't need the problems. I don't feel like I get the respect I deserve from the organization, and that's motivation No. 2 for the letter of resignation that was sent today."
All past discussion I might have partaken in regarding the future of the UFC heavyweight division is hereby retracted, rendered null and void, burnt to the ground, and salted so that nothing else can ever grow there again.
HOLY
SHIT.

It's a collection of words I plucked from the life-stream. Something to the same effect has probably been uttered countless times over the course of history, but as far as I know, I'm the only one to put it that way.
As far as Randy's resignation, Good for him. Bad for UFC. __________________

I'm just surprised he wasn't treated well. Everyone bitches about the way the UFC treats the little guys, but how they protect their stars or whatever. Anyway, hopefully this will cause some shakeup and maybe the UFC will open up for interpromotional fights. Here's hoping.
In other news, WTF is the deal with the Armenia thing? Bacon brought it up and I haven't heard an answer yet.
Also, Carnal, anyone ever actually know who that is in you avatar? And have you read the Satanic Bible?
