The latest UFC promotional video to hit YouTube, this one hyping UFC 105, contains a rather surprising suggestion from UFC announcer Joe Rogan: Could this be your last chance to see Randy Couture fight?
"You never know when you're going to see the last Randy Couture fight," Rogan says. "He's a real freak of nature. I mean, it's really kind of incredible that he's able to compete with such young, tough, aggressive guys at 46 years of age. There's no one like that guy."
Rogan makes the suggestion that this could be the last Couture fight, but I'd be absolutely shocked if it turns out that way. Couture says in the video that he thinks he's better than he's ever been right now, and when I talked to Couture this week, he sounded like a man who believes he has several more big fights left in him.
It may be true that you never know when you'll see Couture's last fight, but then again you never know when you'll see anyone's last fight. When UFC 97 was promoted as a possible farewell fight for Chuck Liddell, that seemed reasonable enough. But UFC 105 isn't going to be the farewell fight for Randy Couture.

Couture should be able to do every fight on his contract, and I think hed be a light heavyweight contender if he beats Vera convincingly. Of course he'd have to fight some other big opponents (Rashad, Forrest and Hendo immediately jump out in my mind as good matchups), but I wouldn't at all be surprised if he won another title before retirement.
hes 16-10, hasnt won in a while, is like 50 years old anyone else in his position would have been let go years ago i dont think he will be a contender, hes got a 3 fight contract i believe so ill say he is 17-12 after those 3
Kevin u asbosolutely have no idea what your talking.
Randy Couture can never be counted out.
From coutures wiki entry:
"Randy Couture signed a new 28 month/ 6 fight deal, replacing his old contract. The loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was his first fight of the new contract.[34] The second fight will be at UFC 105 in a Light Heavyweight bout against Brandon Vera"
so after this fight, he still has 4 more... Hypothetically speaking if he wins very convincingly against Vera and another opponent or two of higher caliber he could get a title shot. Doubtful, but at 46 the guy still puts asses in the seats.
Like I said before, Jon Jones would beat both
Machida and Shogun.
Because he beat Gusmao & Bonnar by DECISION? Jones is a really good fighter, but you're jumping the gun a little bit here.
i dont no what im talking about, you say you can never count couture out thats your big argument ill call that being on the courure bandwagon
