Randy Couture Criticizes UFC's Transparency and Structure

UFC commentator Daniel Cormier expressed that Jake Paul faces a 'lose-lose' situation in his upcoming boxing match against Mike Tyson, emphasizing that a victory would not elevate Paul's status due to Tyson's legendary status and age. Cormier and Joe Rogan both acknowledged Tyson's enduring power, despite his age, casting doubt on whether he can compete effectively against the younger Paul. Meanwhile, the blame game continues between Francis Ngannou and UFC CEO Dana White over their failed fight negotiations, with Ngannou now set to debut in the PFL against Renan Ferreira. UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture commented on the improbability of co-promotions between the UFC and other organizations, citing the UFC's unwillingness to risk its dominance. Additionally, Couture criticized the UFC's matchmaking practices and praised Jake Paul for spotlighting the promotion's shortcomings, stating that the current system lacks transparency and often disregards rankings. Couture's remarks reflect a growing discontent with the UFC's operations and a call for more accountability in the sport.
