Who do you think Randy Couture fights next? Is it at Light Heavyweight?

Thanks for the question. It’s definitely going to be at Light Heavyweight — Randy Couture is much too small for the Heavyweight Division unless you’re a James Toney. He definitely wants to make one last run for the title, but he really has some harsh competition.
You have young budding superstars like Ryan Bader and Jon Jones, along with the cream of the crop in Shogun Rua, Rashad Evans, Rampage Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Forrest Griffin, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Thiago Silva. I have huge doubts that he’ll face any of the above any time soon.
My guess is that he’ll be facing Rich Franklin, or the winner between Matt Hamill and Tito Ortiz. He gets through one of these guys, bring on the top contenders. “The Natural” is getting old, but he still has a lot left in the tank.
