When was randy couture last fight

The energy and the hype surrounding UFC is simply unbelievable. Today, Wednesday April 27, the pre-fight press conference was held and Randy Couture one of six fighters from the main card in attendance.

Following his less-than-committed comments about retirement and the doubt expressed by UFC President Dana White have shown cracks in the story. It seems great that Randy would retire after this fight and ride into the sunset, and eventually taking a front office job with the UFC to couple with his budding acting career. However, it appears that he may not do that.

If Couture is able to defeat former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida it will be his fourth win in a row and will put him in a spot to fight a top five contender. Will he retire with this great opportunity laid at his feet? The fight remains one of Couture's greatest until this day.

After a successful title defense against Gabriel Gonzaga, Couture entered another false retirement, although this one was a bit more controversial since there was dispute over how much Couture was being paid. In his first fight in over a year, Couture faced the mammoth Brock Lesnar. Couture, always surprising the fans, held his own against Lesnar in the first round and even managed to briefly take Lesnar down before being knocked out in the second round.

This was one of the last hallmark moments in Couture's career. He had an epic fight with former Pride heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera in which he displayed tremendous resilience, but ultimately came up short. Despite the loss, Couture proved that he could still "throw down" with the younger fighters by defeating Brandon Vera at UFC Couture, in one of the most crucial fights in his career, put one of the final nails in boxing's coffin by humiliating James "Lights Out" Toney at UFC Couture will face Brazilian karate expert Lyoto Machida in a fight that may shape the future of the light heavyweight division; if Machida loses, he will likely be fired from the organization.

Couture, unlike other fighters who could be considered as the most important in the organization's history such as Chuck Liddell or Tito Ortiz, has managed to stay relevant even in his advanced age relative to the other competitors.
