It's been an interesting weekend to say the least for Randy Couture. He has been recovering from his eye injury and this past weekend he wanted to start training for his rematch with Vitor Belfort.
Only problem is when Couture talked to the UFC this weekend, there hadn't been an indication that he would get that rematch with Vitor Belfort. The UFC and Couture want the match, but it's unclear what Vitor Belfort wants.
This weekend Randy gave a video interview to Team Quest and MMAWeekly (you can see it on the soundoff forum) and Randy was not happy about the things he was hearing.
Couture said, "Vitor changed his tune, going back and saying he shouldn't have to fight again because he already beat me. I really don't see how he can feel that was a win."
It appears that Zuffa was ready to solidify things this weekend by working out a deal between Couture and Belfort, but things have hit a snag as it was revealed that Belfort had some questions about facing Couture for a third time.
MMAWeekly tried to reach UFC President Dana White over the weekend but he has been on vacation and returns to Las Vegas today. It's believed that White will contact Belfort today and try to find out what the future has in store for a third installment of Couture vs Belfort.
Couture hopes the fight takes place at UFC 48. "I want the fight and the UFC feels the same way as they want to see us fight. I gave him a rematch from a long time ago, I feel he should do the same with this fight. It's ridiculous for me to think that (this past fight) was a bonified victory."
