NEWARK, N.J. - The cold war between Randy Couture and the Ultimate Fighting Championship could be ending.
UFC President Dana White said he will meet Tuesday with Couture, who announced plans to quit the promotion last month despite his standing as heavyweight champion. White said Thursday he received a text message from Couture asking that the two have dinner.
"He said, 'Can't we all just get along?' " White said while attending a news conference for Saturday night's UFC 78 pay-per-view show.
Agent Matt Walker said Couture hasn't made dinner plans with White but the two may speak this weekend. Couture is coming to UFC 78 to serve in the corner of Karo Parisyan, who will be facing former PRIDE fighter Ryo Chonan.
The split between UFC and Couture had turned as bloody as one of the promotion's fight cards. Couture's departure stemmed largely from contract issues with UFC, resulting in public bickering between the two parties.
Asked whether contact from Couture opens the door for a reconciliation, White said, "I don't know. We'll see. We'll find out what his end game is. This whole thing makes no sense to me. No sense at all."
White said Couture — one of the most popular fighters in UFC history — must decide by next week whether to accept a match against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira that could take place as early as February. Otherwise, Couture wll probably be stripped of his championship and Tim Sylvia would face Nogueira for the belt.
Another high-profile UFC fighter also may be returning, as White is expected to re-sign Rich Fraklin to a new contract. White said Franklin has indicated he doesn't plan to retire despite suffering a second consecutive lopsided loss to Anderson Silva on last month's UFC 77 pay-per-view show. Franklin's contract expired after that fight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is good to hear. I hope something can be worked out.
