-"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."

-"I want that fight and would have waited if the fight was offered to me," Couture said. "Knowing what they offered him, I would have made demands to get paid equally or better than him as the champion. Whether or not those would have been met is another question."

-According to Couture, nine months remain on his current UFC deal.

-"I think the final straw for me was meeting with Dana and Lorenzo (Fertitta, UFC co-owner) where they claimed I was the No. 2 paid athlete in the organization, which I know is a bold-faced lie," Couture said. Polling other athletes, said Couture, he learned that his compensation -- some $250,000 a fight with pay-per-view bonuses, according to the Couture camp -- was nowhere near what other top UFC fighters were making.

 

UFC is doing just fine without HBO, and will continue to do so.

staff, he was just making a random quote. Why do you feel he's insulting you? I'd like to see horse racing too. What's the big deal? Why do you consider it an insult or a joke made at your expense?:dunno:

 

Its kinda strange that Couture has done this but i understand it. The UFC didn't get him Fedor because they or Dana White is too stubborn. There pay is a joke. It was only a matter of time before guys started to hold out.

 

dana white is a two faced faggot. i hope UFC ends real soon.

 

I hope not,as an MMA fan that would suck.I think they need to lighten up though and stop being so greedy....................


And Why is this in the boxing section??? 90% of the people here don't like MMA:doh:
