Randy Couture v.s. UFC take their fight to court

By Rod Hood | January 16, 2008

Lawyers for Zuffa, LLC, the UFC’s parent company, on Monday filed suit in Clark County District Court, alleging chiefly that Couture’s comments about the UFC and its senior management caused the business irreparable damage and that he is in breach of the contract he signed with the company in December 2006.“We are alleging numerous intentional torts, which have caused Zuffa and the UFC significant harm,” attorney Donald J. Campbell said. “Based upon that harm we are seeking to address these matters before a court of law.”The lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $10,000 and states that the amount of both compensatory and punitive damages would be proven at trial. It also seeks an injunction restraining Couture from participating in any way in any promotion competing against the UFC.Monday’s lawsuit claims Couture’s negative statements about the company constituted “injurious falsehood and trade disparagement,” that has led to significant financial losses for the UFC. The lawsuit also alleges conspiracy, stating that several unnamed parties to be identified at a later date worked with Couture to intentionally inflict harm on the UFC.

The excerpt above was from the article by: Adam Hill, Review-Journal:

My thoughts on this, the thing just keeps getting uglier and uglier, personally I just want to see everyone get back to fighting in the octagon not in the court rooms. I suppose someone is right and someone is not telling the truth, I just don’t feel like listening to this crap any more. I want to see Couture and Emelianenko fight or maybe this is just UFC pre-fight hype for a Dana White and Randy Couture fight, titled “wasted evening2″, the sequel to the Dana & Tito fight, I’m still pissed off and in shock about that one, what a waste thats two hours of my life i’ll never get back. They need to leave this kind of public fighting for Hollywood actors and their spouses.

Whats your take on all this, who’s fault is all of this and who is the “biggest Loser”, the fans, the fighters, the UFC, Randy Couture or Dana White. I can’t believe they couldn’t get in a room and work it out, there must be some huge egos involved or someone really screwed the other guy around.
