Randy Couture Can't Buy a Ticket, but the UFC is Ryan Couture's House -- Dana White
Спорт
www.MMAWeekly.com/ -- Randy Couture has signed a partnership with Bellator and Spike TV, and that, or perhaps more particularly how the deal went down, leaves sour taste in UFC president Dana White's mouth.
"Randy Couture can't buy a ticket (to the UFC)."
But Randy's son Ryan Couture, who is one of the Strikeforce fighters making the move over to the Octagon, and White puts his full support behind him, telling Ryan "this is your house."

Fucking boofoons. Listen the UFC is the biggest fight promotion in the world because of Dana White. If you think otherwise your a fool. You can’t understand that he just wanted Randy Couture to be up front and honest with him about whether or not he signed a deal with another network / promotion? How about because he canceled his last fight on his contract with the UFC. The last event or fight with the company that made him almost a house hold name. Didn’t just cancel if, nah he went and signed another contract before honoring his previously signed contract that was agreed upon by him and the UFC. And then lied about it via text. Couldn’t even do it over the phone. Psh 2 idiot s you too. Probably get your moms to call out of work for you too.

Randy Couture helped build the organisation. Culture was a coach on the first Ultimate Fighter series and for me it was the likes of Liddell, Couture, Ortiz, Mir, Arlovski, Penn, GSP, Hughes, Tanner, Silva that helped propel the sport into the main stream. Especially, Liddell and Couture. They were the first superstars
Just like you manned up with Stitch and got someone else to fire him. Danas double standards.
Dana, is it possible that Randy signed the deal AFTER you flipped on him? What's Randy's side?
Dana seems to have a problem with recalling the events with Randy Couture in the proper order....first it was this, then it was "no, no, no....what happened was.....". The UFC fighters need a union...they do. I'm not usually a fan of unions, because many of them act like petulant children who if they don't get their way will take their ball and go home. That said, Dana talks about people behaving like "men". Take care of your fighters....respect them and pay them a decent amount... Yeah, a man does that.....he (a man) takes care of the people who built the brand, the guys who got you where you are now.....a man does that too...fyi. Randy Couture testified in front of a Congressional committee about this stuff (it's on KZread). About 5% of the fighters can make a decent living, but that leaves the 95% who don't. T.he UFC signs endorsement deals with companies, and that screws over fighters who have separate deals for their own endorsements....because EVERYONE has to be on the UFC's sheet of music. Now that would be great IF....the majority of the fighters got a decent piece of that pie, but they don't. There is also no independent ranking system that the UFC has to adhere to. They can make any fight they want, but those (the fights) can be predicated on who is "popular" with the powers that be in the UFC, which may have nothing to do with who is deserving.

How does he have the nerve to say "I don't respect him". Dana White treats the fighters like trash and just because he went out and told the truth?
Notice how when the fighters get towards the end of the career. They start to notice they didn't make big money for big fights when they finally get there. UFC kicks them out once they get intelligent about their contracts.
When is USADA gonna test Dana?

Wow first time I heard that story. Randy is right about the boxing mode where fighters are allowed their slave chains released for private marketing and merchandising.U only transact the actual fight labor. Yeah fighters deserve to negotiate independently instead of being owned by an organization that treats them like slaves owned bought and sold by them.Remove the chains.
Is it me or dana white have a watery eyes like he was about to cry?
We all know that at the very least, Randy has enough respect to not badmouth people behind their backs like Dana does all the time.
dana white making all the money off these fighter's, then he's going to talk shit about them because they know he's doing them wrong. dana white is another don king.
Dana and Randy fight in a cage match. Dana will turn heel and pull out a 2x4 from underneath the octagon and begin to beat Randy. Then Ryan can run down and surprise Dana with a metal chair over the head. Ken Shamrock can come in and save the bloody Dana. They team up and beat the shit out of father and son and Shamrock becomes the intercontinental champ.

Yeah, Dana, yet you won't man up and fight the guys you disrespect. I get it that you're not a fighter and just a shit talker but don't be surprised when these guys offer to kick your ass. They avoid honesty with Dana because he underhandedly tries to destroy everyone of them if they ever leave, retire, or take a vacation...
This is a hard video to watch for many reasons. Randy is a UFC legend and helped the sport transition to what is is today. And to see Dana struggle with anger and contempt while his face says hurt and regret is too much. It's hard to imagine that Randy hid behind his smart phone and used txt messages to lie. Not saying it didn't happen but if it did, one of my greatest heroes of all time just duped me. I always saw a man with impeccable integrity, character and sportsmanship. Damn it.
I was at a Randy Couture book meet-up & book signing and he said that the UFC were holding him to his fight contract with them, and would not permit him to fight. This was when he was retired. Obviously the man wants to fight again but not in the UFC. You say 'betreying trust', what about preventing a man from making a living? Randy was a great ambassador for the UFC, probably better than anyone else, yet they're keeping him to a contract. That man is pushing 50 yrs old!!! They need to be fair.
What a coward, he wouldn't fight the lunch lady at school.
I most certainly do watch Bellator and enjoy it. I was trying to hold a conversation and ask for your specific opinion on what you personally like about Bellator.
Maybe you missed it. He said he respects what he's done in the ring ... It's outside of the ring he has issue with.
What happned with randy couture can someon please tell me ?
I hear Cult of Personality by Living Colour playing in my head every time I see comments praising him for "telling the truth" even as he revises MMA history: I exploit you, still you love me I tell you one and one make three...
What is the big deal? I have no clue of what is going on? Can someone please explain? What deal is Randy doing??
Dana, really? Man up. Stuff happens. People are imperfect. You're way too upset over something so simple. It's not like he killed your family or blew up Las Vegas, he broke his contract & disrespected you. Don't worry about it. If you respect yourself you don't need the respect from others.
I’ve trained with Randy, over several weeks. Randy is 100% a gentleman and he is straight up. I don’t trust the man who would go to any length to promote a show and make a few extra bucks. Dana reminds me of a used car salesman. Just watch his demeanor at the press conferences. His language sounds like an old drunken high school drop out. The guy has zero class.

This is and has ALWAYS been ashame, I Dig Dana,and love the sport as well as his devotion from day 1,but he should remember that it's the FANS that want justification for Fighters who deserve,and he needs to remember he deals with Fighters, their attitude, personality, and THEIR DUE $$$$,Guys had Gave their Blood & Flesh to the Octagon and Should be rewarded....and not just toss them a bone on occasion
I meant.... Frank and Randy ... not Ken
Ok, yea right. He says "man if he had just come to me i would have released him from his contract" like really? Yea right.
I can see someone doing that when he hates his employer enough.
Even though I can understand why Dona is upset, I am on Randy's side. Bosses like Dona like to be in complete control, annoyingly so, but Randy has the right to do what ever he wants, when he wants to. By all we know Randy could have been telling him the truth, that he had not signed yet, but maybe just later decided to sign up with Bellatore, It would have been better that he called Dana beforehand, but you risk getting into another bidding transaction, that you don't want, very stressful.
People constantly say UFC doesn't pay its fighters, but that seems false to me. None of these fighters were making the kind of pay days that go out in MMA today back before Dana convinced the Fertita brothers to buy the UFC. The undercard fighters in UFC tend to make quite a bit more than in boxing as well. You won't see the kind of Mayweather type paydays in MMA for a long long time, if ever. Boxing still has the larger following and infrastructure.
A snake has a problem with a fox?
Agreed.
a CEO should never be bigger than the fighters period
randy had problems with dana since 2007 when he wanted to leave the ufc to fight Fedor. Randy was not allowed to do that, they went to court, Randy lost. Then he made a new deal with the ufc and fought Lesnar. It's been a turbulent relationship between zuffa and Randy since 2007...
A man who trashed the living heck out of EA, said that he'd never betray THQ and will NEVER work with someone like EA, goes and sh*ts over his words, ruthlessly ditches THQ and signs with EA....talks about someone else being a liar and a bad man??? A man who said he'd rather die than sign or have anything to do with Tito ever again, and then signs him like nothing happened talks about someone being a bad man??? *FACEPALM* Dana needs to get an award for the biggest hypocrite and a liar ever
Any people that are saying "Dana shouldn't be running UFC" obviously doesn't know a thing about the UFC's history.. The company was going under until he and the Fretita brothers stepped in. If he let the fighters get away with what they try to on a daily basis, MMA would wind up like modern day boxing within 5 years.. Dana gives respect when its given, and if you don't work then fuck off.. Love him or hate him, he gets the job done and he does is well, people just love to hate.
He said that about a dozen times. In the ring he respects him, out of the ring he doesn't.
Couture is the greatest of all time. No one can deny it.
Oh yeah Dana is such a man without a gun or backup lol.
Its known that Dana hates any kind of threat to the UFC( big or small). Remember hearing ppl say he wanted to put rivals "outta fuckin business". His prob just pissed off at Randy for just that reason alone!
so randy and shamrock arnt allowed to fight becuase dana doesnt like him
Not sure if you understand how that all works. It's the venue managers that would have to " Ban" randy from entering. Not the promotion guys. I'm sure he could have a word with the venue guys but Dana white does not have the ultimate authority when it comes to that.
It's because Randy went behind the UFC's back to cut and run with a deal with Spike / Belatore basically..
Mergers and acquisitions almost never benefit the consumers or the workers. Several viable competing brands of a type of product do.
Well said my friend
Fair enough. Well try to enjoy both promotions. They have tons of talent and put everything out there in the cage. At least Alexsander S won that MW strap now. And the reality series is to come. A lot of good things in the sport itself. Please feel free to follow me on twitter and facebook I'd appreciate it. Take care.
Apparently you don't pay your UFC an affordable income.or insurence while they are signed with you. Imagine if football did that
But there's the thing, he said he'd never let women fight in the ufc until he watched Ronda Rousey. He put his personal prejudices behind him in order to give the ufc more success. Yes it can be argued he did it to make more money but hey, business is business. And I don't know about that having to be one of his guys. He and Tito hated eachother and Tito still got shots, Diaz causes nothing but trouble and he still fought GSP. But with others. like any job, it helps to suck up to the boss.
Omg LMFAO 😂😂😂 😂 " I went me"
Didn't Dana once say he would never tell a guy who he could/couldn't have in his corner?
