UFC News: Couture signs contract with HDNet, Fedor fight imminent

More information has become available since news broke that Mark Cuban of HDNet is taking Zuffa (UFC) to court. Randy Couture has signed a contract with HDNet that is going to be activated once the promotional end of Couture’s contract expires.

The speculation all points to a mega-fight between Fedor and Couture in Dallas, Texas. This contract is necessary because without it there would be no basis for HDNet to take the UFC to court. The angle Mark Cuban is trying to use is that the UFC is putting into place an illegal block on Randy Couture’s ability to practice his trade. What makes this even more interesting is that Texas law prohibits indefinite employment restrictions.

This is enormous news for MMA fans and what is happening is a great thing. We love the UFC and what it has done for MMA but their abusive tactics are too much at times and hurt the sport and the fans that line their pockets. This all could have been avoided if the UFC would have not been so stiff when trying to aquire Fedor.

    If by chance Randy loses to this beast I think maybe Emelianenko should fight somebody like Kimbo Slice. For one I am sick of seeing Kimbo fight washed up fighters and would love to see this huge Russian bastard beat the piss out of Kimbo. GO COUTURE.

    Couture will kick fedor’s ass

  3. JOHN RIOS says:

    GO COUTURE!!!!

  4. bluetriangle says:

    wow you honestly think that couture is gonna kick the greatest fighter of all times ass? fedor is going to punish couture as much as i love him, and he would put him down in his prime as well

  5. kevin says:

    haha. There isn’t even the slightest doubt in my mind that couture would have his ass handed to him, before the fight even hits the third round.
