First I thought Randy just decided to retire when he heard Fedor signed with another organization, but then after reading his quotes it obviously runs much deeper than that.
I have no idea who makes what, but I do know that I'm honored to have had the chance to know Randy and I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to watch him compete. He is a very rare human being, the kind that comes along only once or twice in a lifetime. He's one of the few people that I've ever come across that's both a kind hearted, friendly, happy guy, and a furious, relentless competitor.
He's also one of the rare human beings that fully maximizes his potential in his pursuits.
I sincerely hope that there's a way that they can work all this out, but if not, all I can say is that I learned a lot just watching him perform, and I feel very fortunate to have met him.
