Randy Couture on his current relationship with Dana White

[@CVVCLIPS]

This is a clip from my full interview with Randy which is available right now on my podcast "Insight with Chris Van Vliet" here: link.chtbl.com/chrisvanvliet

[@McHenryCruiser]

@WrestleVisionary why u kissing up to Chris bruh?

[@RenegadeRanga]

Randy is still fighting for the fighters that fight for themselves. That's ironic but he is a stand up guy.

[@NazriB]

Lies again? UFC WWE IBF USD SGD

[@rajendranadarajan8931]

When you see UFC fighters crying over 50k bonuses saying it is life changing money, something is very wrong with the fighter pay situation.

[@osamashatat]

Spot on

[@dagodigs]

No it's not spot on!!! 50 k is a year salary for a firefighter or cop or construction guy...... They are already getting a check then getting that as a bonus is kinda life changing....

[@osamashatat]

@@dagodigs you are comparing apples to oranges. consider how many cops there are vs how many UFC fighters. many more people qualify to become cops than UFC fighters. It is an elite group, 99.9% of the population don't and can't do it. AND since the UFC makes so much profit, it only stands to reason UFC fighters share in a greater portion of that profit.

[@acc4465]

they don’t have to fight - free to do what they want - jon jones has re-signed with the ufc many times - didn’t have to. every other mma organization has went out of business.

[@acc4465]

who says it’s life changing money besides you? i never heard anyone say that. i’ve seen fighters cry when they get the bonus.

[@justfine77777]

I always liked Randy. He was a great fighter, and he’s a very likable person. It is a shame, that he doesn’t have a place in the ufc.

[@beardy7124]

The UFC uses fighters and spits them out. They deserve to be well compensated for all the money they make the UFC.

[@famcantor5]

This aged like fine wine after seeing Ngannou's decision to leave the UFC.

[@jedsteelwell2354]

Randy and Tito was the first guys to fight for fighter pay

[@Savvage.875]

Except Tito wasn’t just fighting for fighters pay he was also scared of Chuck 😂

[@brutalhonesty5138]

Tito was too busy fighting Grammar and logic!

[@dbreiden83080]

That’s the narrative that Dana White sold you and you bought. If you are facing the toughest fight of your career, don’t you want to get paid for it?

[@dbreiden83080]

It’s called getting hit in the head for a living.

[@HumptyDumpty-os7ie]

Meanwhile Dana pisses away a cool million within 1 hr at a casino

[@MentalLiberation]

Was Couture one of the first to ask about this stuff contractually?

[@thomastakesportspodcast]

100%

[@timslee0618]

Actually it was Tito first then Randy

[@MentalLiberation]

Thanks for the heads up y'all. I'm glad someone spoke up. Even happier it was one of the older ones like Tito and Randy.

[@23bitchris60]

Nah it was Tito. Its funny how Dana hates all the guys that wanted better fighters pay.

[@Provos7777]

The Shamrock’s were actually the first. With the exception of the fighters like Canelo or Mayweather, UFC pays their fighters better than boxing does. Few if any undercard fighter in boxing is making high six figures for an undercard bout.

[@NAO-sx5ur]

Randy is the man

[@johndicksonkaraoke2554]

The Ali Expansion Act needs to be Legislated into MMA.

[@YY-bl1is]

Good interview.

[@jaygoodman384]

Dana is puppet master now UFC is losing to Jake Paul🤣

[@Slacker4Life3]

Dana white is paying fighters peanuts lol

[@CiocoiuAndrei-wr7zt]

Randy is the real Captain America

[@marksibley4546]

What a shame Randy was the company for so many years . Dana is a clown 🤡

[@arautus]

Most of us know Randy Couture is a very decent man. It's easy to see who's right.

[@jonathantee5355]

Him and titto two dumbbells, yeah that worked out for ye 😂

[@TheKing-tl8si]

Dana doesn’t understand fighting/fighters their struggles and what they are left with after expenses. Dana needs to wake up.

[@eyesight8716]

Yep, Randy, Been watching UFC since back at its start....and I know, like you know, what happened

[@detangojet]

It’s too bad cuz I would love to see a “legends” night with UFC. Honoring those who helped build the UFC. Egos would prob never let that happen.

[@dantemagalhaes9462]

I'm more of a Randy Couture fan than a Francis fan. But it's interesting that Dana white hates both of them and claims that they aren't good people. Even though Francis isn't really one of my favorites, I'd be willing to bet that both he and Randy are much, much better human beings than Dana white

[@jimmybanta4520]

Team Randy

[@osamashatat]

Maybe the UFC can pay fighters, partially in stock options.

[@autoselectricos-americalat9276]

they are not even employees of the UFC. They are "independent contractors" with almost no rights. Way worse than traditional boxing.

[@ashorsamano6576]

They should all strike. Force Dana to up their pay.

[@tdeancline]

Dana is sooooo arrogant, Randy is much more humble, don't trust what Dana says, Randy is an upright guy!!!

[@AndreiCosmin-f9f]

Captain America ❤❤❤The idol of Joe Rogan

[@carboncopies706]

Dana white is the problem its a business just like box I ng

[@JavierRodriguez-db2vh]

UFC is full of budlight and panties now
