...president Dana White went on the counterattack following Couture's statements. White, an ex-boxing manager, accused Couture of having a "puke Hollywood agent" giving him bad advice. At a press conference Tuesday in which he disputed Couture's claims, White said the fighter was paid $2.9 million last year, including a $500,000 signing bonus - even brandishing a canceled check to prove...
...that facade is beginning to crumble. Liddell, who was recognizable enough to have an episode of HBO's Entourage focused on him, has lost two fights.

In 1998 at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she trained her Hungarian hunting dog, Henry, to bark when asked, "Should Clinton go to jail?" He growls when you say, "Al Gore," and retrieves a flip-flop when you mention John Kerry.
