"Following several public statements and presentations from both sides expressing disappointment over the situation, recent speculation is that Mark Cuban’s new fight promotion, HDNet Fights, has offered Couture a position within the company and that he is close to, if not already, accepting the offer.
White however, indicated that the UFC has offered its champion a title defense and is awaiting a response.
“We officially offered it to him and we haven't heard back yet. We should know this week. He (sent me a text message) yesterday and said he wants to sit down and talk.”
Asked if there would possibly be an interim belt issued for the heavyweight division as well, White was emphatic that would not happen.
“No. Randy's going to make a decision one-way or the other. We're going to get together next week, I think, and talk and see where we're at.”
