Assuming that the UFC on FUEL TV event goes on as planned (given that the main event is now off due to Gustaffson’s cut), the Swedish regulating body will not be stopping Randy Couture from cornering his son Ryan. George Sallfeldt, head of the new Swedish MMA Federation stated that there are no rules or bylaws in place that would allow the UFC to discriminate between approved cornermen.

“We don’t have any rules about who can corner an athlete,” Sallfeldt is quoted as saying on Nordic MMA. “That’s up to the athlete. We talked to the UFC and they have no problems with anyone corning anyone. I don’t see any problems in this specific case.”
