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.
The power of Twitter shined very big in 2010 with pretty much every MMA fighter signing up to interact with their fans or smack talk with one another, while MMA Ring Girls showed us some very nice pictures. MMA Fix brings you a look back at our favorite tweets of the year.

The power of Twitter shined very big in 2010 with pretty much every MMA fighter signing up to interact with their fans or smack talk with one another, while MMA Ring Girls showed us some very nice pictures. MMA Fix brings you a look back at our favorite tweets of the year.
10.Miguel Torres is not shy about his self-confidence. “I am afraid to piss in the morning cause I don’t want to waste any of my excellence.”
9. Witty banter between fighters. “@aaronsimpson you look chubby in your twitter pic” –Ryan Bader
“@ryanbader you look like an a-hole in yours” –Aaron Simpson.
8.Tito Ortiz’s girlfriend and baby’s mama, Jenna Jameson and Frank Mir’s wife Jennifer Mir began an awesome Twitter cat fight.
“@Mrs_Mir @Leharts you should stick to sucking your fat ass husbands cock…. Oh, and hit the treadmill yourself” –Jenna Jameson
“your just mad because his cock is the only one you can’t suck….oh yeah and my husband is the MAIN event” –Mrs. Mir
(Good one, Mrs. Mir…we might have just gone with the old standby joke, “Hey Jenna, who’s had more shots to the face? You or Tito?”….)
7. Frank Mir’s teenage son was pissed at Dana White when his father was denied a Knockout of the Night bonus for his KO win via knee kick over Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.
“@danawhite thinks hes a badass cuz he drives a lambo and sits by the cage, and puts pics of himself wrappin his hands for nothing!! ***GET!!” –Marcus Mir
(The young Mir’s twitter account was soon after deleted.)
6. A concerned message from the UFC:
“Dear Kimbo costume donners. It’s time we had a talk about the meaning of blackface in 2010″
5. One of many of Chael Sonnen’s twitter comebacks to Wanderlei Silva as they hype up a fight that has yet to be confirmed.
“Take your comebacks, write them down on a sheet of paper. Roll it up tight, soak it in water, freeze it overnight, then jam it up your ass.”
4. One of many of Chael Sonnen’s threats to Anderson Silva hyping up UFC 117.
“Anderson, you are going to be on your back more than a hooker with a mortgage.”
(Sonnen put on a stellar performance, getting Silva on his back several times, only to lose the fight when Anderson Silva was indeed on his back, submitting Sonnen with a triangle armbar. And then Sonnen tested positive for PEDs…)
3.Randy Couture’s apparent retirement via Twitter that put the media on high alert this was indeed his goodbye to the MMA world.
“Thanks to everybody who’s been tweeting about seeing my fights I must have missed the memo I think I’m at the end of it Yall . It’s time.”
(The tweet made headlines all over the internet and prompted Couture to speak to ESPN and retract [or deny] his intention to retire. Great marketing for Couture.)
2. This tweet needs no explanation for being so high up on our list.
“Jeez my boobs are huge today! :-/” –Brittney Palmer at a WEC weigh-in
1. Just in case you were feeling bad for Josh Koscheck, just remember this:
“Hey haters that tweet me dum ass sh*t.Dam I can’t wait2prove u guys out there s*cking GSP’s d*ck;wrong Took apic4u”
Earlier this evening, UFC Hall of Famer, Randy Couture updated his Facebook status saying:

Is this it? Have we seen the last of Randy Couture in the cage? Perhaps, Randy has passed on the MMA torch to his son, Ryan…
I think I’m at the end of it Yall . It’s time.”
