Former UFC champion Randy “The Natural” Couture will take part in a submission wrestling event next month. On November 17th, the Professional Submission League will be promoting an event called ‘X-Mission’. Couture is scheduled to face Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza.
The name Randy Couture has been synonymous with the UFC. “The Natural” retired from the sport after his third and final fight with Chuck Liddell back in February. Couture’s upcoming fight will mark the first time he has competed in a martial arts based competition since his retirement.
“It’s a fun opportunity for me to get into grappling. I never had the chance to do the competitive grappling stuff because of fighting,” said Couture. “I’m looking at it as something to motivate me to go to the gym, continue to train and just enjoy the competition.”
“Training is going pretty well,” added Couture. “I’m crawling back into shape, getting my sprints in and getting back into competitive shape.”
