In the biography of Couture, it is said that the first successes in this sport began to appear after moving to Lynnwood High School. The guy was sent to the state championship, from which Randy returned the winner.

In 1982, the fighter entered the ranks of the American army. For 6 years, the athlete paid tribute to his homeland. Completed Couture's service with the rank of sergeant of the 101st Airborne Army. Even in military service, the man continued to train and achieve success in his chosen sport.

As a military man, Randy wanted to compete with the American freestyle wrestling team in a tournament. But by mistake the young man was enrolled in the Greco-Roman wrestling competition. Couture did not want to give up, so he went to the tournament, in which he won. Nevertheless, Randy got what he wanted - he ended up on the US Olympic team.

His sports career as an MMA fighter for Randy Couture began in 1997. The man was invited to participate in the UFC 13. At the start, Randy had to go against Tony Halem and Steve Graham. In two fights, Couture became the winner. This result brought the beginning fighter the title of tournament champion.

Vitor Belfort becomes the next opponent at UFC 15. The enemy failed to achieve success. Congratulations again on the victory to Randy. This time, Couture forces the judges to announce a TKO.

The athlete fights for the title at the age of 33. Maurice Smith was chosen as the enemy. After several rounds, the judges decide to award the victory to Couture. Experts confirmed that Randy looked better than his opponent in the ring.

The tension between the UFC leadership and Couture was growing. In 1998, the athlete's contract with the organization was terminated. But Randy did not plan to end his career. The man went to Japan and signed an agreement with RINGS. From that moment on, luck turned away from the fighter.

The athlete lost the first fight. During the 2 years that Couture spent in Japan, victories alternated with losses. But in November 2000, the fighter goes to meet with the leaders of the UFC. They managed to negotiate a new contract. This gave Randy confidence, so the athlete won the fight against Kevin Randleman. The fight was not easy, but it brought the long-awaited Couture title.

The next fight took place 2 years later. Randy entered the ring against Josh Barnett. The American failed to outplay his opponent. But Barnett was not the winner for long. Banned steroids were found in the athlete's blood. Because of them, Josh was stripped of his title. Randy dreamed of regaining the title of champion, so he agreed to fight with Ricco Rodriguez. The defeat cooled the ardor of Couture. The man realized that he needed to move to a lighter category.

Victories were not long in coming. The fighter put Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell on the octagon. Thanks to this, the title is again returned to the hands of the American athlete. Randy Couture became the first person to win the belt in two weight classes.

The athlete went to the octagon against Chuck Liddell three times, but he managed to defeat the talented man Randy only once. The judges in both cases announced a knockout. These losses hurt Couture's confidence, so he announced his retirement as an MMA fighter.

The love of sports has not passed, and in 2007 Randy Couture returns. The American did not plan to concede the victory to Tim Sylvia, therefore, from the first minutes, he chose the tactic of pressure, not waiting. This allowed Randy to win. Now he will forever remain in MMA history as the man who managed to become the UFC champion 5 times.

In 2008, agents Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture agreed on a fight between the charges. The athlete missed blow after blow, which is why the judges stopped the tournament and gave the victory to Brock, having awarded Randy a TKO. A year later, Couture again expected defeat, but from the Brazilian Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.

Randy planned to restore his status and title, so 3 months after the loss he was back in the ring. Brandon Vera stood in the other corner of the field. The victory was awarded to Couture. In February 2010, the athlete competed against Mark Coleman. Randy used a choke hold and achieved another title in the piggy bank.

After 7 months, within the framework of MMA, a fight took place between Randy Couture and James Toney, which ended with the victory of the first. In 2011, the fighter entered the ring against Lyoto Machida. This tournament was the last for Randy. The undefeated athlete failed to leave. He lost to an opponent.

The Russian fighter Fedor Emelianenko turned to Randy Couture with a proposal to organize a joint fight. But the American refused. The media reported that Randy was dissatisfied with the proposed amount, but the athlete denied these statements.
