The ongoing legal battle between Marc Cuban's HDNet and the Ultimate Fighting Championships over the contractual status of Randy Couture has taken another turn - and it's not good news for "The Natural." Couture is prohibited from fighting until the mess is resolved and recent ruling from the Texas Court of Appeals escalates the legal battle and draws out the whole process even further. UFC.com writes: "… the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has been informed by the Texas Court of Appeals that it has granted Zuffa’s Motion to Compel Randy Couture to arbitrate in the District of Nevada, thereby staying all further action by HDNet against Zuffa in the state of Texas. Specifically, the Court of Appeals found that the lower court had engaged in ‘a clear abuse of discretion’ by permitting HDNet to litigate claims relating to Mr. Couture’s contract in Texas, rather than in Nevada, where Zuffa is presently pressing a breach of contract action against Mr. Couture.”
