Randy Couture Taken Down At UFC 129, Retires

In spite of all the talk, GSP managed to pull out another win (his sixth consecutive title defense) last night, but the news of the night was the big fall of Randy Couture to a swift kick to the face by Lyoto Machida.  Believe it or not, Couture is 47 (Yup: FORTY SEVEN) years old going toe-to-toe with guys half his age.  He lasted seven minutes and earned a standing ovation for the effort.  IMHO, this guy has made plenty of loot (I assume) and now he can retire and play with his dogs.  What beats that?  Nothing.  Still, don't really know what's going on with Brock Lesnar.  Looks like he's staying with the UFC, at least for the time being (as the coach on the next installment of Ultimate Fighter).

Randy Couture was just a big softie anyway.  (Don't tell him I said that)
