I just got home from watching UFC 68: The Uprising over at my brother’s place. Randy Couture, 43 years old, retired, and facing a man 13 years younger, 50lbs heavier, and 8 inches taller, with an 8 and a half inch reach advantage, took the crown from Tim Sylvia in an absolutely amazing 5 round decision win. Randy’s first punch of the night landed Sylvia on his ass as a fat overhand right connected with Sylvia’s mug. Me Chris and Eric were leaping around as Randy took him to the ground and eventually took his back. He couldn’t choke out the champ, but he went on to win all five 5-minute rounds decisively. I was stunned by the outcome, even though I picked Randy “The Natural” Couture to win…it was kind of a heart-pick, not a head-pick, as it were. Absolutely amazing fight. I’m blown away.
