One of the most decorated mixed martial artists of all time, Randy Couture was actually in his 30s before he even competed in the sport professionally. His steely determination and natural athleticism quickly led to him becoming one of the biggest names the sport has ever known.

Over the next decade, and then some, Couture went on to dispatch big name after big name in the Octagon. He claimed title after title and eventually would go on to become the oldest ever champion in UFC history and the only man to ever win a championship fight in his 40s.

Despite his late start in MMA, Couture has established himself as an undeniable legend of the game. He did not need to spend his early days prepping for a career in professional combat because he was quite simply born to do it. Couture spent his entire career proving that point to every fighter he came up against. A brilliant wrestler and an even better athlete, Randy Couture was always meant to fight. He is the Natural.
