Earlier this evening, Randy Couture (UFC Hall of Famer) made it official. He will be coming out of retirement after signing a four-fight, two-year deal. His first fight will be in the UFC heavyweight division, challenging current UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia at the UFC 68 pay-per-view on March 3rd in Columbus, Ohio.

Does anyone think Couture can come back on top and win the championship again?

i think this is one of those simple fights, coture can win if he gets the maineiac down, tim cant guard to great on the mat, but if they go toe to toe tim has to win, he has that sweet roundhouse kick and good punching power.

I dont know who wins this but ill be rooting for couture
but right now im more excited about quinten rampage jackson and marko kro crop or however that gets spelled

I liked Randy a lot, but, I think he should stay retired. He's starting to show wear and tear. Randy really should hang up the gloves for good and become a coach full time.

I sure hope Randy can get his hands on him!

[EmpireWF]

It should be an interesting fight. I don't know if Randy can do it but I won't say he'll lose. I hope he wins, Sylvia is boring lol.

[EmpireWF]

WOW, Couture won via unanimous decision (50-45 on all cards) and is the new UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.

Randy Couture is a beast lol.

[mervinout]

Wow is right, he destroyed him, overall that was one of the best ppv's for ufc in awhile all fights were great quailty fights

[EmpireWF]

Mervin, if there's a Couture/Cro Cop fight down the road, how do you see that turning out?

[mervinout]

randy is my fav, but i just dont see how he will be able to withstand cro cops punishment, then again i said that about this fight. I liked all the bobbing and weaving he was doing just hard to bet hed beat marko tho

the fight i wanna see is rich franklin vs mike quick swick

ya I knew Randy would win..I won 400$ on him. I actually won all my picks except for Rich Franklin. That was a good fight too.

I would put money on crocop next fight and I pray Randy dosent get a roundhouse from Crocop...yikes...a poof of dust would shoot out the old mans ear lol

All this talk about Cro Cop is hanging on whether he can beat Gonzaga in England and if he's able to win, not get hurt in the process.

Empire, do you have the results for the whole card? Me being poor, I can't watch it as it happens.

[EmpireWF]

I don't usually order UFC ppvs, I tend to get the results on the net. Here's a good source, MMA Weekly.

Thanks, Empire! I'll check it out!
