Ironically what was probably the most unexpected outcome in mixed martial arts history turned out not to be a knockout in the ring, but a knockout to the UFC when Randy Couture retired. To make a long story short, one of the greatest fighters retired because of two reasons: they were paying him less money than new incoming fighters, and secondly, he didn't get to fight Fedor. Personally, this shouldn't hinder Couture's legacy as he was the two time light heavyweight champion and three time heavyweight champion which I don't ever see being done again especially his consistent winning at age 42. So what training routine does one do to kick so much ass while growing old, here's Randy himself to tell you:
