QUOTE
Heavyweight champion Randy Couture has severed ties with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, his Las Vegas spokesman said on Thursday.

Spokesman Sean O'Heir of Couture's Xtreme Couture MMA said Thursday that the UFC Hall of Famer had vacated his championship and resigned as an analyst on UFC television broadcasts.

O'Heir said Couture was hoping for a fight to be made against Fedor Emelianenko, who is the top-ranked mixed martial artist in the Yahoo! Sports poll. Reports surfaced Tuesday that Emelianenko had signed with a new promoter, M-1.

"He was disappointed when he couldn't get a fight with Fedor," O'Heir said. "That would have been his legacy fight."...


I understand his decision. That would have been the biggest matchup in MMA history. Sucks though...he's my all-time favorite fighter. ='(
