Remember when our hero, Randy Couture, held up the HW title?

[RiotWyatt]

After defending against Gonzaga he refused to fight anyone but Fedor and threatened to leave the UFC if they couldn't make it happen.

In the meantime, they set up Sylvia vs Nogueira for the interim title. Nogueira won.

When Couture agreed to return, still as the Champion, Nogueira as already booked to defend his interim title against Mir.

So Couture waited and defended against the winner of that fight, right? Nope! They immediately booked him to defend against Brock Lesnar instead.

 

[CernRed]

Conor Bless.

 

[Ceez]

None of these guys are my heros..

 

[OrigFan255]

Yep! Sure do. Also remember how he tried to capitalize on the success by saying it was all because some "Green" supplement stuff......Don't think that company went anywhere but not sure.

 

[chunglii]

Yeah, he wanted to fight fucking Fedor

 

[Dingaling]

Nope, I didn't train ufc when he fought

 

[AtlSteel]

Randy was the man.

 

[Ceez]

Well maybe Jon Jones is my hero

 

[GangstaBoogie]

Randy the fighter is pretty cool. Randy the person is pretty lame. Not a hero. Just a fighter.

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Couture loved those free title shots too

Somebody is always holding up the HW division.

Except in Brocktober.

Even Brock did. Shane and Mir fought for the Interim because of him.

I believe the UFC's HW curse started with Mir's motorcycle accident.

 

[jaredmc16]

Randy was just given the title shot for no reason(for like the 3rd time), made millions, then whined about not being treated good enough and decided to screw the ufc over.

Most over rated fighter and personality ever

 

[HomeRun916]

Of course.

 

[Kick Strickland]

I remember it. But I don't understand your point

 

[Watermelonfresh]

couture wanted to fight fedor, nothing wrong with that.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

One fight we missed out on as fans.

but you see he had the key ingredient ---> hate on the UFC and everyone will love you no matter how much you screw over the fans.

Couture the most overrated HW of all-time.

 

[honzo]

At least Randy stuck it to the man.

How the hell does any of that make him overrated? He always fought tough guys and always fought well.

UFC commentary teams still use his phrases for every single event. Listening to Randy do commentary was a treat.
