COUTURE: ‘IT’S NOT A RETIREMENT’

It is quite a twist that the UFC has fought tooth-and-nail the last seven years to attract mainstream media attention, yet one of the biggest frenzies to date is centered on losing one of its top stars. In an unexpected move, Randy Couture RESIGNED from all professional association with the promotion yesterday, which included two contracted fights, an on-camera analyst’s position, and his heavyweight crown. UFC president Dana White tagged Couture’s decision a “retirement,” citing the 44-year-old’s departure from the sport in 2006 before returning in March 2007 to reclaim the heavyweight title from lumbering 6-foot-8, 265-pound Tim Sylvia. “It’s not a retirement,” said Couture Friday, who also works as on-air analyst and ambassador for The Fight Network. “It’s a resignation from the UFC organization.”

well it won't be happening for a long ass time, at least around a year or so cuz Couture can't get out of that contract he is currently under in the UFC.

Couture should have atleast fought Arlovski, Dana should have made that fight, Arlovski would've beaten Couture
