Or you could just do Villari Kempo.  At least Randy is making money for licensing his likeness.  (Oh, and he can fight as well)  I don't think Randy likes Brazzo chicks, tho.

I suspect Randy might have cash flow issues. He seems to be fighting alot for a guy in his late forties and, now, this.

He's based in Vegas, and the economy, there, is in the toilet.

Are you kidding? Anyone in the UFC exposed to the big Brazilian booties that come with the territory can't get enough...BTW Villari Shalin Kempo Ju-Jitsu is an awesome fighting system, and I think the Couture Tower 200 is the perfect complement.

Hit the nail on the head.  A lot of defections from Xtreme to the Tapout center, Thompkins took a lot of fighters with him.  Along with them go management fees.  One of the reasons Paul Buentello is suspended at AKA.

I just thinking he's trying to get every dollar he can while he can.  I can't blame him,  MMA doesn't really have a retirement plan.

My guess is that Randy borrowed a lot of money during the boom and now the revenue coming in isn't enough to pay off the debt.

Hell, if the Fertitas company, Station Casinos, can go bankrupt, why not Randy?

True, but is taking shots to the head in one's late forties really worth it if he ends up like Ali?

I don't think he owns any part of that company.  He just got paid.  He might have worked something out with them for some percentage of sales though

I'm sure Randy understands the risks and is most likely getting regular checkups.

He's one of those guys who are driven to compete - even at the cost of their own health.
Hopefully he is taking all the precautions and making the right decisions regarding his health.
