Randy Couture once again puts another win under his Belt...This guy is pretty amazing, how many 46 year olds can you say that about in MMA headlining a show...He is essentially "The Nature" Boy Ric Flair of Mixed Martial Arts, age has not been a stopping factor for Randy and I believe he has another 3 fights left on his contract...But realistically Coleman was well beyond his prime...He took a beating all night and he was just able to get thru the 1st round with an open cut above his left eye, Couture then persued him got a takedown and mounted his back, was relentless with punches then secured a rear naked choke for the win @ 1:09 in the 2nd round...Couture goes to 18-10 and Coleman to 16-10....Tito Ortiz got under Coleman's skin after the fight with Coleman responding F U Ortiz...Randy always the gentleman said not bad for 46 years old Huh...UFC 109 drew a gate of 10,600+ and $2.27 million, not bad but when you take into consideration that UFC 100 took in a gate of $5.1 million at the same resort then you have to consider that the economy has had an affect on the world of MMA as well...As a matter of fact when Lesnar fought his last fight they got 1.5 million buys on PPV, the last UFC PPV only got about 420,000 buys...Big Difference...UFC has to get Lesnar bock in the game asap...And the outlook is that he will have his next fight in July...If Randy can continue to win then another shot at the belt will be in order I presume...Congrat's to Couture...Nice solid performance...
