By Greg Clark That's a quote from your favorite UFC President, Dana White about Randy Couture not playing nice in the MMA sandbox while under contract with the UFC and now Randy faces a lawsuit filed yesterday initiated by parent company, Zuffa LLC. The lawsuit is the latest episode of discord between Couture and UFC President Dana White, who said he has considered Couture a friend for eight years. My advice to Captain America is to suck it up, complete the terms of his contract and walk away from the UFC when the terms have been met (2 fights remaining on contract). Randy, when you throw sand in the face of a giant, you will lose... unless you're Fedor which clearly, you are not.   [read the full post]
