I think everyone has a price. I mean he has had good relations with the UFC in the past and this breakup had alot to do with money anyway so if they offered him a kings ransom I could see him doing it.
I agree, but how much would they give him on top of what his contract already says? I bet he's making good money on his gym and other business deals he's involved in. Fighter Lesnar would be odd if he is saying he is at the end of his career and looking for an established veteran.
Even if he fought for the UFC, I doubt they would let him fight Fedor unless its in the UFC and Fedor signs to stay in the UFC.

Yea i dont aactually think this fight will go down but I would not be shocked if randy came back to the UFC if the price was right.
Randy will come back because he has to, he may not have a choice, and the UFC does not have to offer him anything but what his contract calls for, he made sure of that by walking out.

Well that is yet to be decided if he can fight somewhere else or not. Its not like Randy is hurting for money so he could just choose to stay retired. The UFC knows they could make a lot of money off of Couture so they could throw out some bonus money if they did indeed want to set up a Couture vs. Lesnar fight.

I don't think he has to come back; the UFC is just saying he owes them 2 more fights before he is free and clear (which he wouldn't be if he is champ after the 2 fights). They are saying if he doesn't fight for them, he can't fight for somewhere else.
Besides trying to stop him from fighting elsewhere, the UFC is suing him for things he said that they said damaged their business. If they are negotiating with him, that's something that could get him back in the cage from my perspective

The Court stuff will drag on until someone loses an appeal or either side throws in the towel. The UFC could make money with Randy but they dont need to, especially since he screwed them. If he comes back its because he needs money and I doubt the UFC offers him any more than they need to.
Randy already made millions fighting he makes a killing off of his gym and he also doing well with movies, books and endorsements. Neither one really needs the other one in terms of money but I am sure both sides would be happy making even more money.

Also the two sides use a different term to describe what happened (retired vs resigned or something).
The UFC doesn't want him fighting elsewhere, and they don't want him against Fedor outside the UFC. I think the UFC is keeping the belt for him and offering him fights so its consistent with their position on the contract arrangements.

If he's made millions from fighting then why was he bitching around? I wonder how much he was paid for his straight to 5 dollar bin at Walmart movie.

That is something I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere and a very interesting point. Rather than offering him something positive (ie, more money, etc.), they could be offering to remove something negative (ie, the additional lawsuits). That equates to less hassle for him and less legal fees (and he may feel that he is going to lose those suits) - so that can serve as an incentive (or at least an added one).
