That's it. Thanks to "The Natural" for a legendary career and being a major piece of putting the UFC and to a smaller degree, the sport of MMA where it is today.
Well said. Win or lose Randy fought a who's who of MMA fighters from the early days through to the modern era. I know some ****er will say he lost 11 fights, but lets add some perspective Can anyone **** with this resume? Vitor Belfort Maurice Smith Jeremy Horn Kevin Randleman Pedro Rizzo Josh Barnett Rico Rodriguez Tito Ortiz Chuck Liddel Tim Sylvia Brock Lesnar Big Nog Gabe Gonzaga Mark Coleman James Toney Lyoto Machida The guy is a true legend and deserves respect even if your not a fan of his style. Enjoy the retirement Champ
Thanks for a legendary career, Champ! Enjoy your retirement and life of moviemaking. We'll see you in Expendables 2!
His cannonfodder was a gift decision over Vera. He had no business being in with an elite fighter like Machida.
Yup thats pretty darn impressive right there. Randy fought 12 MMA World Champions from that list beating 7 of them most of them at a very advanced age and some of them being much bigger. You should also think about him beating Gonzaga a 2004 World Jiujitsu Champion, James Toney a future HOF boxer as we know, Jeremy Horn an MMA legend in his own right, and throw in a couple Ws over a feared Pedro Rizzo in his prime. Randy Couture is every bit deserving of the word legend.
I'm glad he has retired. He is old, slower and doesn't have the same punch resistance. He always seemed a step behind Machida. I think a young Couture could still give him fits.
