Randy Couture spoke with Alex Marvez at the Affliction show, and told him that he expects a ruling on Zuffa’s latest appeal this week.
The wording in the story is a little misleading though. The ruling they are expecting this week is on the status of Zuffa’s emergency stay. If Couture wins that, it would then revert to a Texas court, which would rule on his contractual status. That order would probably come quickly, but both sides would appeal any loss in court, which means we will not be getting a final resolution any time soon.
This quote from Couture will surely start a whole new round of speculation:
“When, where, and with what promotion – we don’t know….It could happen in UFC. We just don’t know…In some way, shape or form, we’re going to make it happen.”
These legal battles sure are exhausting. Check out the whole video of the interview here.
Randy suggests here that if he loses the legal battle he is open to finishing out his contract with the UFC.
