According Adam Swift at Sherdog.com, embattled UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture — who relinquished his strap in late 2007 — and HDNet Fights have entered into a contract that begins when “The Natural’s” UFC promotional contract and non-compete clause expire in October 2008.  Couture’s contract with HDNet Fights will only become valid after the promotional agreement between Couture and Zuffa either expires or a court rules it void and/or unenforceable.
