UFC 105 - Couture should retire

[FearsomeOrange]

I know I'm late on this, so sue me. I just watched the fight last night.

I love Randy, but man that was the most boring-ass fight ever and I don't see him changing his game plan as he gets older.

When there was space to throw the bombs he looked slow and sloppy. If Vera had been able to stay off the fence a little more he'dve walked away with that fight.

I agree. Seen a lot of UFC and this was probably the worse fight ever. The ref needs to break them up more so we can actually see some action!

I think they're hoping to have a 'legacy' match between Tito and Couture, which while it might be interesting from a match-up point of view, will likely either a)be over quickly as Tito clocks Randy or b)be another up-against-the-fence-and-pray point win for Randy.

Actually, Randy Couture has verbally agreed to fight Mark Coleman for UFC 109, I believe.

Im a Couture fan, no doubt about it.... But he is definitely past his prime, its time to move over and let the next gen. of fighters step up. Vera tore him up, he dropped him twice with kicks to the body!

But I still have to respect him for his heart... he's definitely a true fighter

Yep, no one doubts his heart. The biggest thing I've loved about Couture over the years is that, win or lose he's a gracious fighter.

I friggin' HATE Brock Lesner for the total disrespect he has for the other fighters and for the UFC in general. The guys' a bum.
