[quote comment="179681"]boy, is Randy making a mistake. Hollywood is throwing money at him and he’s gonna destroy his sterling reputation by making many crappy movies. Remember how you feel about Randy now, cuz in a year from now, most people won’t feel the same way about him.[/quote]
i could not agree more, he is going to ruin his legacy. especially by doing films like this, he is following in the footsteps of the rock, and how many people consider him a credible actor.

don’t do it randy!!!!!!!!!!

Randy is putting himself and his family first, whats wrong with that. There are some seriously selfish fans out there getting pissed because he doesn’t want to hang around for a few more years getting his face smashed in and his body beaten up just for your veiwing pleasure. Damn show a bit more appreciation for the man and what he’s accomplished and for some of the amazing fights he has put on. Anything can happen in this sport because it is dangerous, he could find himself with an injury that puts him out of work permanently. At his age he really does need to start thinking of himself. If something bad was to happen, those same people who are dissing him now would be saying why didn’t he quit while he was ahead or why didn’t he retire sooner. I am really amazed at some of the selfish comments after all this guy has done. Unreal.

[quote post="3607"]ViolentMike: I herd you were 1st in line for your Authentic Randy Couture Scorpion King Costume! lol [/quote]

LOL, actually I was so giddy when I saw it, that last night I made my own from scratch, using a cardboard box, some random lengths of chain, aluminun foil, washable markers, a screen door, several 80’s style slap on bracelettes, leather pants, 3 female accesorizing belts, and a ‘bald person wig’. And to think that I was just wondering what to be for Halloween,….

“That outfit is gayer than the UFC intro. Randy’s still the man though. Even though I’m sure the movie stinks I’m happy to have an action star that’s actually tough for a change”
Please no one change the ufc intro- its perfect the way it is. That said, what the f@%$? Is this a joke? I guess Ill have to see the movie to really have an opinion but, wow, that outfit is something!! It looks like someone superimposed Randy’s head on a ninja turtles foot clan action figure. I agree with Nathan, Randys looks like a good guy, I have trouble seeing him pulling off a bad ass. Maybe like the unsuspected kiddy diddler role he could do, or the nice guy with dark secrets role, you know the one he plays in real life, j/k (I hope)Seriously, all I can say I hope this isnt as shitty as it looks like it will be.

[quote comment="180484"]But “I” think his excuse for retiring is incredibly lame! sorry[/quote]

Why was it lame? Think about it.

At 45 years old, who else does he need to fight to prove his greatness? If he were to lose to up and coming heavy weight contenders such as Kongo, Nog, or anyone else…thoses losses would only bring down Randy’s business and fight marketability.

If he were to win against those guys, his legend would be the same as it was after beating Gonzaga. The ONLY fight that would sky rocket his already awesome rep is FEDOR. Win or lose, it would probably be the biggest fight in MMA history.

And mentally, do you think Randy would have more hunger fighting FEDOR or fighting up and comers month after month.

Also, Randy was only making like 300k/fight. With his role in the new Scorpion King movie, I’m sure he’s making bigger dollar without having to risk breaking his nose, arm, or neck.

His popularity and marketability is about as high as it gets right now…
