"Critiquing the Cage" Who Are They: Randy Couture

Randy Couture, a former three-time UFC Heavyweight Champion, two-time Light Heavyweight Champion and Interim Light Heavyweight Champion, is the oldest title holder in the UFC and all of MMA. Born in June 1963, Couture is best known for his ground and pound, take down and wrestling skills. During his high school years, Couture won a State Championship in wrestling and from 1982-1988, served in the U.S. Army, reaching the rank of Sergeant, also wrestling and boxing.
Couture made his first MMA debut at UFC 13 in 1997, defeating opponent Tony Halme with his signature ground and pound in under a minute in the first round. At UFC 15, Couture went up against Vitor Belfort to determine who would become the number one contender for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, with Belfort being the favorite to win. Couture dominated Belfort, and beat him in one the biggest upsets in MMA at the time. He then moved down to Light Heavyweight and fought Chuck Liddell, again being considered the underdog. Couture defeated Liddell for the Light heavyweight Championship, and went on to fight  and win against other big names, such as Tito Ortiz.
After a short retirement, and becoming a broadcast commentator for the UFC, Couture announced his comeback in January of 2007. He went head to head against Tim Sylvia, defeating him by unanimous decision, and successfully defended his title against Gaabriel Gonzago at UFC 74. In his bout with Lyoto Machida, he suffered a knockout loss and eventually retired indefinitely in 2011 at the age of 47.
