Former UFC light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Randy Couture claims the UFC doesn’t really care about their fighters.

UFC Hall Of Famer Randy Couture doesn’t believe the mixed martial arts (MMA) leader cares about its fighters.
Couture has been at odds with the promotion for quite some time, as well as President Dana White. The former UFC heavyweight champion is a big advocate for fighters’ rights and has been working towards better working conditions for fighters for quite some time.
Recently, Couture joined Submission Radio and was asked about a few topics regarding the UFC and its care for the wellbeing of their fighters. Specifically, the subject of Brock Lesnar returning to fight Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title was mentioned.
Couture mentioned Lesnar’s past issues with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), and the WWE star essentially jumping everyone else in line en-route to a title shot. In the end, Couture understands that a fight with Lesnar and “DC” is a huge draw. And that’s all that matters:
“Well, you know, they want to tout their USADA and all their strict rules for drug testing, but somehow this guy managed to get through and still managed to fail a test but still compete. Which begs the question, what’s going on?
“Obviously, the rankings and all of that stuff, they manipulate that however they want anyway. Whatever makes business sense to them is all that really matters. They don’t care about the fighters, they don’t care about those rankings.
Two-division UFC champ Couture said the UFC was no longer about merit and was only about money. It’s an argument many have been voicing during the UFC’s WME tenure:
“You know, lots of guys have jumped queue. It’s certainly not based on merit. So, that’s nothing new. I’m not surprised. He’s a huge draw. I mean, at the end of the day that’s the business of it. It’s about selling Pay-Per-Views.
“Certainly, DC is the champ and rightly so, they’re gonna put him in there with a guy like DC and that’s gonna draw huge Pay-Per-View numbers. So, that’s what it boils down to for them.”

Randy Couture has one concern heading into this trilogy fight.
The post Randy Couture Reveals His Only Concern About Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz III appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Randy Couture reveals his only concern heading into the third fight between Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.
The two MMA Legends are slated to meet for a third fight at an event that goes down on November 24, 2018, inside The Forum in Inglewood, California. This show will air live on pay-per-view. More fights for the main and undercard of this show will be announced in the coming weeks.
Couture made it known in a recent interview that he has concerns about Liddell’s chances come fight night. It’s not about his age or even his chin but rather it’s about his time off from fighting.
“I’m not too concerned about the age, honestly,” Couture said in a recent interview on the MMA Hour. “I fought right up until where Chuck’s at right now, at a high level. My only concern with that is that Chuck hasn’t been competing. Hasn’t been sparring, hasn’t done anything in the fight realm other than regular strength and conditioning for the last eight years, since he retired.”
Liddell and Ortiz have fought twice throughout their legendary careers, with “The Iceman” knocking out Ortiz at UFC 47 in 2004 and UFC 66 in 2006. Since that second fight, however, Liddell has lost five of his six bouts with four of those losses coming via stoppage.
“So that puts the pressure on him to get back up into fight shape, back up. Get the timing back to where we’re used to seeing Chuck have going into a fight. He had that style where that timing was very, very important.”
Couture also brought up the key with Liddell’s success was due to his timing but with years away from active competition and his age, it will come into question.
“It wasn’t that he was the biggest, strongest or best athlete. He had a very unique timing, to find you right on the end of one of those long levers. Make it a short night. Now, whether he still has that timing. That’s the question.”
Couture continued by bringing up how Ortiz has been more active than Liddell in recent years. He thinks it will be interesting to see how this fight plays out with two men having their own strengths and weaknesses.
“Tito has been way more active, had some big fights. Will he be able to go out and implement his game plan? Which has gotta be getting in Chuck’s face, finding a way to get Chuck on the ground and take some gas out of Chuck. Certainly not standing and trying to trade with Chuck. Find out if he does have that timing. I think it’s gonna be interesting.”
