UFC legend, Randy Couture tweeted this afternoon that a prospective bout against former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida may be on the horizon. Couture wrote:
Looks good for Toronto and machida April 30 . 2011 is looking fantastic already . Proud of gray maenad he’s come along way in 5 years !
This is one of the fights Randy Couture said he would find interesting, as he has maintained in recent interviews, he may not be up for a title fight but he would like to take fights that are “interesting”. If Couture could pull off a win against the currently number 2 ranked UFC Light Heavyweight, he would indeed become a title-shot contender. But recent news from Couture is taken with a grain of salt, as we all were fooled by his tweet last month which suggested he was hanging up the MMA gloves. Couture’s lawyer explained the tweet was not a retirement statement, but it’s hard to believe the words “I think I’m at the end of it Yall . It’s time.” weren’t some indication of a goodbye to his MMA career. Regardless, we will wait to see what Randy tweets next and of course, what Dana White has to say about it.
