Randy Couture open to fight with new champ “Shogun,” but James Toney first on list

Randy Couture’s rendezvous with James Toney is set, but he isn’t opposed to matchmaking for himself down the road.

The UFC Hall of Famer on Monday said he’d be happy to fight newly minted light-heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in the fall after he tangles with Toney at UFC 118.

“I’d love a crack at him after Toney in [August],” Couture wrote. “Maybe Rua in October [at] UFC 120.”
