BOSTON – UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture long has been recognized as one
of the most strategically sound fighters in the sport of mixed martial
arts.
As such, most MMA observers expected Couture to approach his UFC 118
fight with James Toney on Saturday night in Boston exactly as he did – by putting the accomplished boxer on his back and ending the fight quickly.
Couture spent his entire training camp preparing to do just that, but it
wasn’t until the former champion actually stepped into the cage that he
knew for certain his planned approach was gong to work.
