Couture Inducted into UFC Hall of Fame
LAS VEGAS, June 24 - Before a nationwide television audience and a packed house at the Hard Rock Hotel, Randy Couture rightfully took his place among the greats of the UFC, as he joined Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, and Dan Severn in the UFC Hall of Fame.
“It feels great,� said ‘The Natural’ the only fighter in UFC history to win the heavyweight and light heavyweight titles. “It’s nice to be honored and to be recognized with guys like Royce and Ken and Dan Severn. Those are all guys that I looked up to and admired when they started fighting and I thought, ‘hey, I gotta try that.’�
Couture, perhaps the classiest fighter ever to lace up the gloves in mixed martial arts, retired in February after a loss to Chuck Liddell.
