I've heard that I could be facing Randy Couture. That would a great.
Being outspoken was important... I helped make the UFC what it is today with Chuck Liddell, Royce Gracie, and Randy Couture. Some said I was outspoken in a bad way, but I was just trying to educate the fans what being a UFC fighter is all about.
It's an honor to fight someone like Randy Couture.
Talking about a fight with Randy Couture is a jinx for me.
I feel like Randy Couture has helped build the history in this sport.
One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.
I am honored to step into the ring with a great fighter like Fres Oquendo.
I look up to Bernard Hopkins as a fighter. I'm honored to be his co-main event and to be able to give a great performance.
I don't think that boxing historians have been able to find a case in which a great fighter, or a fighter presumed to be a great fighter, came to such an ignominious end.
Couture is emotion. Couture is freedom. Couture is not thinking about pricing and not thinking about craziness. You can do whatever you want to do in couture.
Randy Newman and I grew up together in Los Angeles. We are both products of the film studio era. Randy is one of the great songwriters of our time and one of the fun people to be with.
Some guys are real noble guys, like Rich Franklin or Randy Couture. These guys are just really good people who happen to fight.
Couture is also a term used for top-of-the-range, to-order clothing - but not to the level of intricacy and expense as haute couture. And without the 'haute', the word 'couture' itself isn't protected.
Nobody criticizes The Rock. Nobody criticizes Randy Couture when he goes over and did 'Expendables 3' or anybody who's a crossover.
I look up to fighters like Vitor Belfort, Anderson Silva, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. A lot of the fighters that fought into their older age and for me, as a warrior, I just love it.
For me, haute couture is a necessity. I never would have done this job were it not for haute couture. It is a comfort, a security. I almost feel it is our duty to continue. Haute couture is France. We have to keep all the skills and craftmanship alive.
