FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PROELITE.COM TO PROVIDE EXCLUSIVE WORLD-WIDE LIVE STREAM OF RANDY COUTURE’S PRESS CONFERENCE THURSDAY AT 1:30 P.M. PT/4:30 P.M. ET

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 24, 2007) " So, what were the real reasons why he left Ultimate Fighting Championships? Is the Mixed Martial Arts legend really retired? What is his opinion of his former boss, Dana White, and his reaction to the UFC president bolding proclaiming he “owned him’’?

Was his intention to resign to put pressure on White to let him out of his contract so he can get a much-desired fight against Fedor? Was he making, as reported, millions of dollars per fight? What are his plans for the future?

Those questions and many more will be answered by legendary, three-time heavyweight champion Randy Couture during what figures to be a lively and emotional, no-holds-barred national press conference Thursday in Las Vegas that will be aired live and in its entirety on ProElite.com.

“We at Xtreme Couture feel that it is important for Randy’s side of the story to be heard,’’ said Xtreme Couture Public Relations Director Sean O’Heir. “We are glad to work with the Pro Elite team to help deliver his message directly to his fans, unadulterated and unfiltered as he says it. Pro Elite has done a marvelous job streaming live broadcasts of MMA events around the world.

The following is an excerpt from a Randy Couture press conference recap over at FiveOuncesOfPain.com:

Couture also said that media reports claiming he was due to receive several million dollars per fight under his current contract were flatly untrue. He later said that he came out of retirement to fight for the UFC heavyweight title after turning down a $3 million dollar offer from the Bodog organization for a match with Fedor Emelianenko.

“That’s more money than I’ve ever been offered to fight,” Couture said of the Bodog offer.
