(Go on. Ask him if he gives a f*ck.)
The odds of Randy Couture getting a cushy no-show desk job with the UFC have officially dropped to zero. In the wake of Couture accepting a position to be the new superstar face of Spike TV and Bellator, UFC president Dana White tore into the Natural, blasting his lack of loyalty and even questioning his character as a human being. Here’s what DW had to say about it yesterday:
“I’ll say my peace on Randy Couture, and after today, I’ll never mention him again. The bottom-line is this: When that whole thing went down with Randy years ago, we weren’t on the best of terms. Now, before that happened, Randy Couture was on the Matt Hughes, Chuck Liddell deal. He was getting a salary, he was in with the company, he was one of those guys. Then he tries to do all this stuff, pull all this bullshit with Affliction, loses and comes back. So, it took me a long time to warm up to him. His lawyer, who I can’t stand, calling our lawyer every day, saying, ‘We want to come back, we want that job again, we want to work for the UFC,’ and all this stuff. Finally, I just say, ‘yes,’ and give him the FOX [commentary] deal…
He doesn’t even finish his contract — he’s got one more fight left — and he bails on the contract to go do this. Randy Couture has this ‘Captain America’ image and stuff like that, but he is not a good guy. He has never been a good guy. And I’m actually, and I mean this, I couldn’t mean it any more: I am happy that he went there. I’m happy he is there. I never have to deal with Randy Couture ever again…. Talk to 99 percent of the people who know him and you’ll see [he's not what people perceive him to be].”
Yes, it’s easy to make Dana White out to be the bad guy when the UFC has disputes with fighters, but this Rampage-caliber public venting isn’t really helping Dana’s case either. The only slam on Couture’s character that we’ve ever heard is that he likes women — like really likes women — to the extent that it occasionally affects his judgment. (New theory: Randy Couture jumped ship to Bellator in an attempt to get into Jade Bryce‘s pants. Just throwing that out there.) Stay tuned, and we’ll see if this latest falling-out turns into something nastier…

commentsI agree with Dana, plus I was never a randy fan anyways. I thought he was a cockbag from the last fight he had with chuck, thats why I was always glad Chuck beat his ass. I hated him when cock chestner was gonna fight him. I couldn't root for cock chestner, but was I upset that he HAM-fisted Coutures head? hell no , I laughed my ass off. I actually wished he woulda beat him half to death. Fuck Couture, hes a douchebag to women, to fans, and prolly to Dana. He never deserved to be like chuck or matt Hughes, he was never that loyal. I hope this makes Dana put bellator outta business like he has everyone else who pisses him off, I like the fact that Dana can do that to other companys. Bellator should fire Randy, have 6 big "pipe-hitting nigga's" get medieval on his ass, then call Dana, and offer up video of it as a way to buy favor with White so he doesn't kill them.
.
Dana is pissed caused randy is very marketable in the world of mma. and since randy made a business deal dana now feels butt hurt cause now in the future ha can no longer pimp out randy to make the ufc more coin.
.
now is randy a dick for not honoring his one more fight broadcast anouncer gig...totally.. but hey at the end of the day . he is a grown ass man, as ninjay put it. he can do whatever the fuck he wants. although he may find out later that burning a bridge he and there wont be profitable for him in the future.
ima listen to DW about 'who's a good guy'? ha!
