Randy Couture Dropping Weight to 205 for Lyoto Machida?

Posted by Marc Middleton in MMA News on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

- According to a recent interview with On Portland, Randy Couture is interested in dropping to 205 and facing UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida. Couture stated the following…

“[Machida's] got a very unique style – it’s very unorthodox. He stays pretty true to his karate background and makes it work for him. He’s got great footwork, great balance. He’s very patient. I think he’s terrific,” said Couture of Machida after flashing a coy smile when the subject initially came up. I could certainly go back down to 205 if that was something (the UFC) wanted to see. I’d be interested in competing against him. I think he’s a tremendous competitor and somebody I’d like to fight.”

  1. He’s got a better chance at 205 than at 225 trying to take on Lesnar, who probably weighs close to 285 by fight night.

    randy couture is amazing, and has been an awesome guy to watch fight! but i think this may be another ko, not in his favor, but like they say, just when you count randy couture out, he proves you wrong!!!
