Randy is the reason I got into mma and I'm sure that's the case for a lot of people. I think if anyone is deserving of a Tapology appreciation thread right now it's Randy "The Natural" Couture.

Watching him DESTROY Sylvia was one of my favorite moments in UFC history.

I'd like to meet Randy someday. It should be pretty easy for me to do since I live in Vegas lol. One of these days I'll head over to his gym to see if he is there.

Kalibo, that Nog-Couture fight was awesome.  Was so pissed I got dispatched to a fire a couple days before that event happened.  Was gonna be there since it was the first UFC trip to Oregon, they have yet to be back.


P4P, yeah I was at a BWW in Tulsa and was doing the same thing.  Bet Couture that night and BOOOOOOYYYYAAAHHHH BABY.

I love the story of Randy and Hendo beating the crap out of some bouncers in an epic bar fight.
