In an effort to stop the unstoppable Randy "the Natural" Couture, the UFC fought back in the State of Texas where IU alumni Mark Cuban on behalf of his HDNet fight promotion filed a declaratory action to determine the status of the Natural's contract. In the first round of this fight HDNet scored big defeating UFC's motion to stay or dismiss the complaint as it should be heard in Nevada. Just last week, UFC countered when the Texas Court of Appeals held that case should be stayed and Arbitration should happen in Nevada where the UFC has a pending breach of contract case against Couture.
Who is the real winner here... No one. Everyone wants to see Couture fight the mythical Fedor, and this certainly will not happen with pending litigation. Unfortunately by the time the lawsuit will be resolved both fighters will have a combined age of 100.
