My Two Cents on Randy Couture

I respect Randy for stepping up for something he believes in and going through the consequences at the moment. By that I am referring to Randy walking out on UFC contract. He was a 44 year old MMA fighter and he probably had a fight or two left. Randy even said that the only fight that makes sense for him is to fight Fedor.

Randy is not getting any younger and I really don't want him to fight when he is 46 ~ 47 years old.

I really wish Dana signed Fedor to fulfill Randy's wish as a thank you to Randy. Or at least Randy finishing out the contract and retire with the proper respect that he truly deserves.

I don't want to see Randy ending his MMA career down this path.

You mean Couture getting pounded by Fedor's taps while tapping out to him getting his ass kick by Couture?

Fedor offered to fight Randy in the UFC for a 1-fight deal but that offer was declined.

Unfortunately this isn't a new twist on things...sounds like a thread from a long time ago now.

That said, I do wish he could finish out his career with some actual fights. Plus, he's got to be hurting financially now too - at least a bit. Hopefully he's not into the Vegas gambling scene.

But seriously, it's a pride thing IMO and it sucks that neither side wants to give an inch.

I think Noguiera presents more than an ample challenge to Randy Couture and think Nog should be insulted.
