Prayers Pouring In For UFC Legend Randy Couture On Wednesday
UFC legend Randy Couture was the victim of an unfortunate accident last week and prayers have been pouring in for him ever since.
Couture was injured in a crash at a Kansas City racetrack and needed to be airlifted to a medical facility for treatment. He suffered first- and second-degree burns along with "trauma injuries and smoke inhalation," per TMZ.
Thankfully, Couture got a major boost yesterday when he was released from the hospital in order to continue his recovery from home.
"TMZ Sports has learned he's been discharged from the hospital following his scary crash last week and is now at home recovering," the outlet reported this morning.
MMA fans were relieved to hear that Couture is making strides towards a full recovery:
"Hoping for a speedy recovery, loved watching the rivalry between him and 'Iceman' Chuck Liddell," one user wrote on X.
"Get well soon," wrote another.
"I'm glad you're okay," a third wrote.
"He will be okay."
Last Wednesday TMZ's Michael Babcock reported that Couture sustained his injuries while driving a racecar while training for his upcoming NHRA motorsports debut.
"Randy Couture, UFC legend and actor, was seriously injured driving a race car on Tuesday (7/8) in anticipation of his NHRA debut sometime this year. Couture suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns, trauma injuries, and smoke inhalation. Randy was airlifted to a local hospital, where he is currently being treated for his many injuries. Thankfully, he is expected to recover. RC's car was destroyed," Babcock wrote last week.
Couture was one of the first MMA superstars produced by UFC. He was a three-time UFC Heavyweight Champion and a two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, making him the first multi-divisional champion in the promotion's history. His six total championship reigns are the most by any fighter in UFC history.
In 2006, Couture was elected to the UFC Hall of Fame as part of their Pioneer Wing.
Since retiring from full-time mixed martial arts competitions, Couture has tried his hand at a number of ventures ranging from business to advocacy work to making movies.
We wish him a full recovery.Prayers Pouring In For UFC Legend Randy Couture On Wednesday first appeared on The Spun on Jul 16, 2025

Charles Oliveira returns to Rio, meets Rafael Fiziev in UFC Fight Night 261 headliner
Charles Oliveira is wasting no time with his attempt to get back on track after his knockout loss to Ilia Topuria. After being stopped in the first round of their vacant title bout in June, former lightweight champion Oliveira (35-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC) is set to return to action on home soil against Rafael Fiziev (13-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 261 in Rio de Janeiro on Oct. 11. The event takes place at Farmasi Arena and streams on ESPN+. UFC officials announced the matchup Thursday on social media (via X): Oliveira, 36, will compete in Brazil for the first time since March 2020. The promotion's all-time leader in finishes, submissions and bonuses is 3-3 in his past six fights, and will be forced to prove he is still worthy of his No. 4 spot in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie lightweight rankings. Looking to take that spot will be No. 12-ranked Fiziev, 32, who is coming off a unanimous decision win over Ignacio Bahamondes at UFC on ABC 8 in June to snap a three-fight losing skid. The latest UFC Fight Night 261 lineup now includes:

Chael Sonnen perplexed by Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alex Pereira 2: 'Nobody asked for this'
Chael Sonnen can't find the demand that led to booking a light heavyweight title rematch between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira at UFC 320. "Nobody asked for this rematch," Sonnen told MMA Junkie. "You didn't ask for it. I didn't ask for it. You couldn't go to Twitter, you couldn't go to Google, you couldn't even get Grok to show you a person that asked for this rematch. (Dana White) said, 'Listen, it's the best against the best. This is what we do here, and therefore it's this fight.'" Ankalaev (21-1-1 MMA, 12-1-1 UFC) defeated Pereira (12-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) by unanimous decision at UFC 313 in March to claim the 205-pound belt. Prior to that, "Poatan" had recorded three consecutive defenses of the belt in record-setting fashion against Jamahal Hill, Jiri Prochazka and Khalil Rountree Jr. With Pereira displeased with his performance in the initial meeting, Ankalaev keen to do it again and the weight class baron of a better contender, the promotion put together an immediate rematch. The fight headlines UFC 320 on Oct. 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Three-time UFC title challenger and longtime ESPN analyst Sonnen isn't thrilled about seeing a sequel. He said he would've far preferred Pereira move to heavyweight, where he could get fresh fights against more interesting opponents. "I still wish that he would become a heavyweight," Sonnen said. "There's not another fight at 205 that I want to see for him. He definitely wants to be a heavyweight, and he's even telling that story on his own Instagram where he's putting out pictures on the scale, and he's 246. He's putting out the message to the audience, 'I'm big enough to this, this is what I want to do.' But why do we have to get him beat twice? "If he gets beat (at UFC 320) and he becomes a heavyweight, aren't we in that spot right now? And we were just looking for a fight for Tom Aspinall. Then we went to Ciryl (Gane), which is another fight nobody asked for. I really did think Alex was going to get announced against Tom, just in the absence of, 'What are we going to do? Let's shake it up a little bit.'" Sonnen said the MMA world needs to "be prepared for if Alex loses" at UFC 320. The Brazilian would be sitting on a two-fight losing skid and in a far different spot than one year prior, when he had completed arguably one of the greatest runs in UFC history. Although Sonnen thinks "not a lot" negative would happen to Pereira's star power with a loss, it ultimately depends on how it happens in the cage. Even if he regains gold, though, Sonnen said the problematic scenarios don't stop at light heavyweight. "Why are we doing this? I don't know what Ankalaev gets if he wins," Sonnen said. "He already beat him. Nobody asked for this rematch, including Pereira. Ankalaev asked for it. It was a little bit odd. Ankalaev actually got a little bit nasty like, 'Come fight me.' He just did. What is it what you're planning? You're bringing the belt this time. It really was a bit of a confusing situation. "If Pereira wins, the right thing to do would be to go to a trilogy. So now you're telling me you've not only got to see him fight Ankalaev again, which we didn't want the first time. We didn't ask for it this (second) time. Now you're telling me we might have to see it for 10 more rounds? I think it creates more problems than it solves. That's what I think."

UFC Vegas 109: It's now or never for Roman Dolidze, Saturday's underdog who's 37 years young
It's not that Reinier de Ridder received the red-carpet treatment to the top five of the UFC's middleweight division, but he achieved that high standing in just four UFC fights. There was of course an escalation in play; the Bo Nickal victory demystified a lot of hype, while de Ridder's hard-fought win over former champion Robert Whittaker at the end of July hoisted him up into elite company. Yet when a guy like Roman Dolidze sees de Ridder soar over him in the standings, it tends to peeve. Dolidze has had a dozen UFC fights, and he's won nine of them. Ten if you include 2023's first Marvin Vettori fight, which Dolidze swears he won. And don't forget Nassourdine Imavov needed the judges to squint in his favor to give him the majority decision over Dolidze in early 2024, too. That was a close fight. The truth is, nobody has dominated Dolidze, but he has dominated plenty. So why is he sitting at No. 9 while guys like De Ridder are cushioned nearer to the top? 'Because I'm not talking, I'm not the second coming of Conor McGregor,' he says in Georgian-accented English. 'I'm just fighting, winning fights, and it's all. Some guys get an easier way. Some guys just [have to be] fighting for their way. For me, if you are winning, you will push them to give you title fight. 'It is just a matter of time. A little bit longer maybe, but we definitely deserve to be high rank.' This weekend Dolidze is headlining his third main event of his career at UFC Vegas 109, taking on Anthony 'Fluffy' Hernandez, who himself is ranked only at No. 10 despite a seven-fight win streak. This confrontation arrives on relative tiptoe, because a week later middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis will defend his title against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319 in Chicago. And, once again, Dolidze's main event will take place at the UFC APEX, which in 2025 has become MMA's equivalent to performing off-Broadway. Not that Dolidze, who enters Saturday as a nearly 3-to-1 betting underdog at BetMGM, necessarily sees it that way. 'I've fought pay-per-view, I fought Fight Nights in big arenas, I fought Fight Nights in the APEX — I fought many events, a lot of different [venues] in my career, but it's never [had an] effect on me,' Dolidze says. 'It's just fight for me. I don't need nobody to push me to go there and perform better or something, no matter what it's happening. I'm fighting for my country, I'm fighting for my family, I'm fighting for the future of my kids, and that's why it doesn't do nothing for me.' If this sounds short, it's not. In fact, all of this is being said in the most good-natured way possible. Dolidze is a super-nice person, with an upstanding life outside of the cage. He owns a grocery store, the Green Wood Market, not far from the shoreline of the Black Sea at his home in Batumi. He is a businessman, a family man, and a respected member of the community, all of which he holds in high regard. In other words, he's in direct contrast with the bombast of the fight game. It's perhaps one of the reasons why Dolidze's road to the top is that much harder than, say, a Sean Strickland, who — despite losing two of three — is still locked at No. 2 in the UFC's middleweight rankings. When you ask Dolidze about trash-talking, he smiles through his glorious beard. 'First of all, I was raised as a man, and after that as a fighter, so when I behave with other fighters, I behave as a man first of all, not as a fighter,' he says. 'That's why I don't know another life. This is how I was raised and this is normal for me, and if somebody is acting wild or do something funny, it's just because who they are. But if I will do the same, I'll be just on [their] level. That's why I'm trying to be away from it.' He can maintain this equilibrium even when he's going against Fluffy Hernandez, who'll exhaust the asterisk symbol on your keyboard when transcribing. (He once told me, 'My uncle has beat my a** plenty of times, because he's told me to do some s*** and I would be like, 'F*** you, you're not my dad,' and I'd get a pipe and try to hit him … I wasn't the sweetest f***ing kid, you know?') By comparison, Dolidze carries a G-rating. He's a Pixar film going up against "Pulp Fiction." 'Oh, I don't know,' he says. 'Because [Hernandez] didn't say nothing wrong I think yet.' If there's an asterisk that Dolidze himself carries it might be in the age column. He turned 37 years old last month, which means his time to strike is now. 'Don't forget, I started in MMA very late,' he cautions when asked if we should be phrasing his age as 37 years young. 'I'm learning day by day, from fight to fight, finding something new. I feel much better than before and it's not my limit. When people get older, some feel they're getting worse in something, yet with me it's the opposite — I'm getting better in certain grappling, I'm still growing better cardio, better striking, using better grappling for MMA, so it's completely different.' Still, it's a big fight with interesting timing. Dolidze is a sizable underdog because Hernandez is six years younger and just now coming into his prime. A loss here could jettison Dolidze from the rankings altogether, while a win gets him in the vicinity of where he hopes to be — that is, a fight away from a title shot. That's an important detail when "DDP" and Chimaev will do an encore act a week later, in one of the biggest fights of the summer. To be in the conversation, Dolidze needs to let his fists do the talking on Saturday. 'It's an interesting fight stylistically, and I almost pick nobody because I think it's very much 50-50,' Dolidze says of UFC 319's main event. 'We all know that Khamzat can win and take down anybody in first round or maybe in a second, but we also know that after second round, Khamzat can't fight. He can easily win in beginning of first round, but he can also easily lose after second round, and Dricus is a very durable and strong fighter, very well rounded. It's very 50-50.' There's a sparkle in Dolidze's eye when talking about his old friend, Chimaev, who has been in his crosshairs for a long while. There's a part of him, he admits, that wants Chimaev to win the title and keep rolling until he can get to him, perhaps at some point in 2026. It's a dangling carrot, but Dolidze wants to be the one who derails the boogeyman of the middleweight ranks. He's wanted to do that for a long time, which is why he called Chimaev out in June 2024 at UFC 303 after beating Anthony Smith. 'Because he's a really good athlete,' Dolidze says of Chimaev. 'I know him also outside of fighting, he's a good guy. Sometimes when you call out somebody, people think that you are against that person, or you don't like the person. It's not like this for me. It's just fighting, it's work. We are fighting for money. You open your eyes and see the truth. What are we doing? People try to create drama out of nowhere. 'For me, he's a good fighter. No matter what I'm doing with my life, I'm always trying to be best in the thing. And if you are not fighting the best fighters — you can be champion in a group of foxes, but there are also lions and tigers, and if you are not a king there, it doesn't do nothing. 'I want to fight him because I consider him as one of the best fighters. That's all.'
