From Dave Meltzer:
The Fight Network has just reported that Randy Couture has quit the promotion, vacating his heavyweight title and leaving his job as a color commentator.
Couture, who works for The Fight Network itself, so there is no way they are going to miss on this story, wrote a letter from South Africa where he's filming the Scorpion King movie, to Dana White.
Not getting a match with Fedor Emelianenko played a part in his decision. The decision was made when it became clear the match with Fedor wasn't happening.
It is known Couture was one of the top UFC fighters who was unhappy when reading about the huge money guaranteed in the company's offers to Emelianenko, because he felt he and a few others were the fighters who helped build the current popularity and they weren't getting guaranteed income for fights anywhere near that level, particularly since they were bigger drawing cards.
With the decline of Chuck Liddell, Couture was likely the company's biggest short-term drawing card, and without question, was its most popular fighter.

Randy doesnt owe the UFC anything. The UFC grew with him and they fed off each other. When he came back he revived the UFC HW division.Team49ers

A proposed fight between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva is currently being discussed, but has yet to be finalized.
Liddells trainer, John Hackleman, confirmed to MMAWeekly that the fight has been talked about by Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, but nothing is official.
Ill believe it when I see the signatures, he said of the proposed fight that has been on-again, off-again for the past several years.
Liddell, who lost to Keith Jardine on Sept. 22, entered back into training almost immediately following that fight. Speculation started right away that he might face former Pride Grand Prix champion Mauricio Shogun Rua in December. Shogun also lost his bout with Forrest Griffin on Sept. 22.
News then came from Brazil that Shogun had undergone knee surgery that would keep him out of action until sometime in 2008.
With Silvas debut targeted for Dec. 29, a match-up with Liddell is an obvious choice, especially with both fighters coming off of back-to-back losses.
Since the loss to Jardine, Liddell has been working diligently on getting back to the championship form that saw him win the UFC light heavyweight title and defend it successfully four times.
Silva recently relocated to the United States and has been training with current UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture.

CINCINNATI Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight champion Anderson Silva has yet to arrive for this Saturdays event at the U.S. Bank Arena. He is scheduled to defend his belt against challenger Rich Franklin, whom he relieved of the title one year ago at UFC 64.
According to sources close to the Silva, he had planned to be in town by now along with the other UFC 77 fighters, but there were delays in the issuance of his work visa.
Apparently, due to a recent holiday, government offices in Brazil were closed this past Friday and Monday thus delaying his visa being issued. He evidently did receive the visa on Wednesday and hopes to arrive in Cincinnati on Thursday.
Most UFC fighters typically arrive four to five days prior to an event to fulfill the necessary media and production requirements, as well as getting acclimated to their surroundings and finish any last minute weight cutting.
With Silva arriving just two days prior to his fight, as long as there are no further delays, questions are sure to abound as to whether or not it will affect his performance come Saturday night.TEAM AM FAM
