Not to mention the new resignation of Randy the “Natural” Couture.UFC heayweight champion Randy Couture is severing all ties with the organization, giving up his title belt as well as his role as an announcer. One reason that he’s walking away is simply that he’s running out of opponents, and the one guy everyone wanted to see him fight, Fedor Emelianenko, isn’t coming to UFC. But the other reason is interesting: He doesn’t like how his boss is treating him.”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.”After Tito Ortiz lost to Lyoto Machida, Tito was done with Dana White and the UFC. “I’ve worked so hard for (the UFC) and put my ass on the line. I’ve fought injured and with a torn ACL and a bulging disc and still put my ass on the line, and they still don’t show me respect.. Dana’s like Don King. The only thing that separates him and Dana White is the color of their skin.”Tito is deciding where to go but there is a high chance of Tito to join Elite XC. If that contract ever becomes official, Elite XC will then have legend Tito Ortiz AND uprising superstar Kimbo Slice.Along with these new MMA leagues, AFL, IFL and the WEC are trying to make big hits in the MMA Industry.Dana White losing very important fighters can be the cause of the deline of the UFC.How will UFC and Dana White fight off these new contenders?By Ian Sim.
