King on the river: Randy Couture on 'Operation All-In' celebrity poker tournament (Video)

For more on the tournament click here and here.

Note: Couture re-fractured the arm he fractured during the fight with Gabriel Gonzaga while checking a kick during recent training. Perhaps up the Celebrex dosage, Randy?

Here's some footage of the action at the tables:

Interesting news on the contract from Randy’s point of view. He’d still do a Fedor fight with UFC, which is doubtful.

I just wish the UFC would put its fans first and put Fedor in for the one match!! Randy has made them so much money for them, it’s time for them to pay him off and let him go out in style!

It’s funny how he thinks he will beat fedor without a doubt. but it is true how he hasn’t fought top 5 contenders..fedor will win the fight.. especially if its in a ring… coutour only reason why he is so good is because he is a wrestler that knows the cage inside and out.. but in a ring he’s just another toy for fedor to play with and break…

I love how despite how most Randy freaks speak awfully about Fedor, Randy himself still speaks highly about him. They’re both such class acts, a prime example to all fighters. This will certainly be the fight of this decade, if it ever comes about.

did you all notice he still has his cast on his arm? its been 5 months already, i think he still has it just incase the UFC tries to sue him for not fighting he can say that his arm is still hurt, What you guys think??

Actually he stated in the video he refractured it

Ok Dana tried real hard to sign fedor but he wasnt able to do it, Now Randy is saying theres no more bad feelings between him and the ufc. Now the UFC can make this fight happen in the octogon but they wont do it.

and the reason is because if randy does lose that is saying the greatest fighter in the world fights for m-1 which gives there org credibility and publicity

but I garentee you that if dana and the fertitas somehow knew randy would win they would put this fight on in a heart beat co-promotion or not because it would be the final validation that the UFC fighters are the best in the world and at the same time it would ruin the m-1 postor boy and probably the org as a whole. And for an up and starter org like m-1 there willing and they need to take that risk

that is why this fight will never happen in the octogon

A refracture. I’m actually surprised, it’s not like he was rushing back to fight.
