RIP Ryan Gracie:

“Two months after his body was found in a Sao Paulo jail cell, the “Fantastico” television program on Rede Globo in Brazil cited a toxicology report conducted by experts that indicated Gracie had consumed marijuana and cocaine. He also had the following anti-anxiety medications in his system: Midazolam, Alprazolan, Prometazina, Clozapine and Haloperidol."

in female mma, is a titty twister a fair way of submission?

by tallimeca on Feb 22, 2008 9:32 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

no matter what anybody say about Randy, its obvious he got his mind set on being the best, beating the guy everybody says is the best: Fedor. He obviously don’t giva damn about lawsuits or public opinion. After he smashes Fedor, he’ll be the undisputed HW champ.

That being said, just gotta add on that his wife looks solid but I have no interest in seeing her fight. – maybe grapple

 In the mud-only-
 p.s.
 Randy will beat fedor if he puts everything in his arsenal to use. Time after time people have said randy cant do this, randy cant do that, once again I hope/pray that he wins.

Randy is awesome dont get me wrong, but he sure isnt as good as he seems to think….The guy was 13-8 before he came back from retirement, lost 2 0f 5 of his last fights before he retired and his record as of right now is 15-8.

 Yeah he is awesome he’s been champion in 2 different weight classes, but even Randy says that hes the underdog in almost every fight he’s in and he loves it……………Well thats all he is , is an underdog who gets all kinds of chances because he was a nice guy and was friends with the owners…………after he gets his face smashed by fedor, all hes going to be is THE TRADER and BACKSTABBER who was always an underdog who got to many chances at a title and just happen to come out on top for those fights…Randy has 1 title defence, and all of a sudden he’s the greatest on the planet, give me a break……………Couture get ur head out of the clouds….You know U CAN NOT beat NOGUEIRA!!!!

PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK UP RANDY COUTURE on WIKIPEDIA and see his FULL FIGHT RECORD ………It is sooooo crap, You wouldn’t belive it….And he had 9 championship fights..he had only 1 None title fight the Entire time he was with the UFC……not to mention before he won the interm light heavy weight title from chuck he had lost his 2 previous fights at heavy weight……….The man was feed with a Gold spoon, then he stole the spoon and jabbed it into Dana Whites neck…………I was a huge fan…..but everybody needs to BOYCOTT Randy Couture!!!!!

Randy Couture is 6-5 in his last 11 fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Bruce on Feb 22, 2008 10:27 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

lets analyze his losses:
2 quick sub losses (arm bar & guillotine to sum dude and to Overeem) combined took like 2 minutes, 2 TKO to the bigger guys in Barnett and Rodriguez, ofcourse the infamous eyelid cut to Belfort & finally 2 knockouts to Liddell. I mean the Liddell how can ppl complain the guy held the belt for along time until he ran into Rampage, he managed to adjust and control the bigger guys now and beat Sylvia and Gonzaga, also he could easily have fought alot of cans and make his record 50-8 but he lately wants to fight top competition and the only can hes fought in the last 7 yrs was Van Arsdale (im sure hes agood fighter but not top competition). those 7 losses he was beat but then learned from it, hasnt gotten subd in 7 years, beat the bigger guys that he couldnt handle before, and didnt get knocked out with 2 guys that clearly have knockout power. I think Randys record looks so bad for the wrong reasons. if he wanted to make everybody happy he could go and fight 30 cans and have a beautyfull record or he could go and beat Fedor and I bet his 17-8 record wouldnt mean shit he would be considered the best heavyweight fighter ever or at least #2 dont you think???

awesome – agree
underdog – agree
record sucks – agree
greatest on the planet – no such thing
Fedor fights chumps – a lot of them
cannot beat nogueira- iono nogueira can take a punch..lol

taitor & backstabber – i don’t see it that way. he’s not a typical ufc employee that fight whoever for a paycheck. he’s rich, old, past his prime, but still trying to step it up, and I see this as his only chance at Fedor because if he loses the belt, you can forget about the Fedor fight. He already beatup Gonzaga so its not like he never defended the title.

my prediction… he’ll smash Fedor but lose to big Nogs or retire before that fight.

Randy = the best champion in UFC history

great to hear xtreme couture gyms are opening all over the country.

  1. If I never hear Randy call another fight ever I will be happy. The guy is flat and boring.
  1. Yeah he’s a good champion, I guess. He’s just not very good at defending his title. Willingly or nonwillingly. I can’t imagine that he doesn’t have anything to “prove” against Nog. Man up and fight Nog.
  1. I think he should fight Chuck again. This time at heavyweight. I know it will never happen but I’d be interested in seeing it.
  1. I don’t know how he can feel disrespected by the UFC after they gave him an instant title shot, while moving UP in weight, after a 2 fight losing streak to end his career.
  1. Good luck to Kim this weekend.

I’ll watch womans MMA when the WNBA becomes interesting……….never. I wonder how Randy would feel if Forrest wins the belt. He could have possibly had 2 UFC belts in his camp.

He still has his Heavy Weight Belt. He never lost it. Big Nog is the “INTERIM” champ.

This is true….UFC is still calling Randy the HW champ due to the ongoing lawsuit and their position on his contract ect.

Sign up for a year membership at Randy’s gym and he will throw in a gay ass Affliction shirt and a months supply of his training supplement of choice…Human Growth Hormone!

PDubb,

Are you trying to make a joke? Or are you stating a fact?

maybe kim should fight gina carino, then dat would be her first and last fight! okay coutures record eh, loss to barnett, barnett drops the title afterwards a week later due to steroids found in his system! loss to vitor, as already stated by hector was due to a cut, in like 40 seconds, everyone here im sure remembers fedors only loss, cut rite? liddell fights, d two losses, his head wasnt rite for those fights, going thru a divorce, not taking anything away from chuck, he’s a great fighter, but outside influences can alter a fighters performance, case in point, gsp vs sera! two early losses early on in his career when he was primarily just a wrestler, i think he’s done pretty well, and as it goes, if you dont have any losses on your record then your not fighting the right people!

Position on his contract? No position. His contract is what it is. Randy is simply breaking it.

I had a dream about a week ago that Randy and Fedor were fighting in the ufc(somehow,it was a dream)anyways Im not one to belief in preminitions, but Rab=ndy went to take Fedor down and ate a knee and Randy died in the octagon. I woke up and was pretty happy it was just a dream
