Mixed martial artist Randy Couture still kicking around
The UFC’s only five-time champion had fans lined up in the street Sunday at the Fizogen Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts Training Center. He signed autographs, posed with fans of all ages inside a cage and held a grappling demonstration.
“He is ‘Captain America.’ He attracts a crowd everywhere he goes. He is a great image for the sport and people still want to see him fight.
“He will stay around until everyone has their picture or autograph. He will not wave anyone off like other pro athletes in other sports. He is a hero of everybody. He’s not just a fighter, he is a person like us.”
Couture, a Greco-Roman wrestler with skills in mixed martial arts, is known for his brute strength and takedowns. He is the only fighter to hold championship titles in both heavyweight (three) and light-heavyweight (two).
