Couture Signs 4-Fight Deal w/ UFC, Fighting Sylvia

Randy Couture appeared on "Inside the UFC" on Spike TV this past Thursday night and dropped his bombshell announcement.

And his announcement was this. He'll be returning to the octagon - to fight, at the age of 43 he'll be returning to his old stomping grounds of the Heavyweight division to challenge the champion Tim Sylvia.

That's right, coming from the 205 lb. weight class when he retired, Couture will take on the 6'8'' 265 lb. Heavyweight champion in his first fight back at UFC 68 "The Uprising" in Ohio for his title belt.

Randy Couture went on to announce that he signed a four-fight, two-year contract that will see him competing in the eight-sided cage until he is 45 years old.

He's a former two-time Heavyweight champion, two-time Light Heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer. Will he be able to add another amazing accolade to his already astonishing career? We'll find out March 3, 2007 live on pay-per view when UFC 68 "The Uprising" hits the Nationwide Arena in Ohio.

Im glad he is back to BUT....do you think his rep will be ruined if he comes back and loses to Tim, CC and the other 2 peeps he will probably have to fight? Plus why should he get to fight the Champ after being retired and coming back?? I think he is one of the best but he should move up the ladder just like everyone else..just my .02

i hope he does it.... if he beats sylvia then maybe its cro cop...who knows... at least he is adding somewhat of a buzz in the heavyweight division now

randy fighting crocop will get the sport banned. that would be a brutal beating. atthis point randy dont got enough in the gas tank to fight crocop, but for some reason i like his chances against sylvia

Randy will fight one fight at heavyweight and lose then drop back down to light heavyweight possibly even down to middleweight. Crocop vs Couture will never happen. More likely than not UFC will have a senior division and him fighting the rest of his contract against Shamrock, and Royce Gracie.....
