At the height of its power and popularity, the Ultimate Fighting Championship today lost the man many recognize as the face of mixed martial arts. UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture announced his resignation from the Las Vegas-based promotion, leaving two contracted fights, his job as an on-air analyst and his heavyweight crown on the table.

Quote:

“I appreciate this opportunity the sport of MMA and the UFC has given me,” the UFC Hall-of-Famer said. “However, I’m tired of swimming upstream at this stage with the management of the UFC. It only makes sense at this point in my career to fight Fedor Emelianenko, and since he’s now signed with another organization, I feel like it’s time to resign and focus on my other endeavors.”

Randy works for the fight network, so I'm pretty sure this is all true.

Dana really fucked this one up. Bet he wishes he let Fedor have those Sambo matches now.

OUCH... that sucks for the UFC. Randy seemed like a big supporter of it in the past.

Unlike the other UFC fighters, Randy was a real martial artist and warrior. It just makes perfect sense if he decides that there are no more challenges to achieve in this particular associaton.

UFC became a monkey circus just like the wrestling folks. It is far off from it's original meaning.
