From UFC.com: ESPN’s Jim Rome is Burning will be running a feature on Randy Couture as he readies for his title fight against Gabriel Gonzaga. They show how Randy trains and how his regimen helps him in the cage. He takes a rare moment to reflect on his bout with Tim Sylvia and analyzes Gonzaga’s knockout of Cro Cop. The show runs Friday, August 17 at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT.
Man, Randy is everywhere these days. If he wins his upcoming fight the momentum will just continue to grow. However, if he loses, will that be a step back in coverage for MMA in the mainstream? Randy is so popular not only because he’s an amazing athlete but also because he’s well spoken and likelable. What if Gonzaga takes the title? He’s a great fighter and likeable guy, but not the most well spoken fighter out there. This fight probably has more implictions than most think.
