That's it. I don't know anything about the man's career. I know absolutely **** all except him being knocked out against Liddell, Lesnar and his immense fight with Nog. But all I know is that it's time for retirement. That guy gave the most amazing, most heart-ful performance in UFC I've ever seen (please forgive me if I'm being farfetched, the first time I sat down and REALLY watched UFC was the Machida/Evans fight, and I ****ing loved it btw) and I don't want to see him fight again. If I'm a beginner UFC fan and I see that fight, I am so proud to be get involved with this sport because that guy is heart, through and through, but I don't want to see him hurt. Even you've got to admit it's time for Randy. And hey, I don't want to be one of these patronising ****heads who are all "durr hurrr Randy is **** needs to retire" but that guy produced something amazing for a 46 year old tonight but he can't do any more than a heart performance. That guy is immense, and both of them are soldiers. And I dunno. I don't have anything realistic to say. I don't say "Hey guy, fight this", but both men have achieved so much its just like, they deserve so much respect. I dunno man, I know nothing, clearly, but even as a no-nothing, i am so proud to be interested in ufc at the time to watch that fight, because that will live in my memory forever, even if people think that's silly and obtuse. btw, I've wanted to use the word obtuse forever.
Its about time I mean hes 46 and obviously at this point cant hang with the best guys at Heavyweight and going down to a stacked 205 divison at his age probablly wouldnt do good for him. Randy can still fight but hes getting slower and his punch resistance is declining more and more. Randys the type of guy like a DLH who you can only imagine and accept fighting the best guys out there and if they cant hang with the best anymore why would we wanna see them fighting lesser fighters who couldnt carry there jocks in there primes just so they can add a win or 2. Randys a legend and ATG no doubt.
There's still plenty of guys out thee he can beat, but he has to retire sooner or later. Going after this loss isn't the worst way to leave the sport, he put on a hell of a fight.
What more is there to prove? Realistically, he isn't going to beat Brock or Machida So what is there for him to? There's no reason for him to live long and prosper.
He's the type of guy you can't say a bad word about, he's classy and a great guy for the sport, but I do fear for his chin, at 46 his punch resistance has dropped and almost got ko'd a couple times. He still had a good showing but there just isn't enough there to overcome an elite opponent anymore. But if he still wanted to fight I would sure understand because he is still competitve for anybody
He will continue to fight. You can't hold a guy like him out, because he always keeps it competitive, comes in great shape, and you always feel like there is a chance he can win.
You pluck him from that city and he's ****ed. He gave an amazing and hearty performance tonight, he cannot do that for long at all, he will get dropped so simply. Come on man, its time. I wish I knew how to work on polls ;-;
I'm sure alot of people asked that question but with a name like the natural it kind of goes against everything he stands for.
First fight I was all "Lolroids" was about the guy who knocked the dude who was all confident out in 7 seconds. I don't count roids. I try to disregard all that ****, even in boxing, it disappoints me when watching a fight.
Yeah really. The first thing that popped to mind in the Duffee fight was WOW "this guy is a huge juice ******." Couture needs to retire. There is no point fighting once a year like he does especially when you're never going to get another title.
I would say "I'm kidding" but the joke is probably missing on myself. brb gonna go away for a day or so.
He probably should, but it won't happen. Couture signed a new seven fight deal right before the fight last night. He won't do the whole seven fights and it's mostly a way for White to guarantee that Fedor - Couture can't happen outside the UFC, but Randy will fight a few more times I imagine. He's gonna have some more alimony payments in the near future, every cent will help.
