MMA legend Randy Couture should retire. He's 46 years old and way past his prime. He's given a lot to the sport of MMA, UFC in particular, but there comes a time when an athlete should call it quits. Just take a look at Evander Holyfield for example.
Randy Couture is a good advocate for MMA, no doubt about it. But for the sake of the sport, especially the UFC, I'm hoping, win or lose, he finally retires after his fight with Vera.
In a way I'm hoping Vera beats Couture; if Couture wins, he might be tempted to linger around.
If MMA is to be taken seriously, and like Dana White says, "MMA is home to some of the best athletes on earth," then there is no reason a 46 year old, past prime fighter should be competing at the highest levels. It's time for Randy to pass the torch to the up-and-coming fighters.
Couture should walk away after his fight with Vera, win or lose, while he's ahead - and not become a freak show - or just some fighter who pimps his name for a big pay day.
