replies: text: Thought that might have been the case.  I'll have to revert if he does it again.  It's awesome he met Randy in real life (my dad met him on OSU campus once as well) but having a pic of him without the fan is an improvement to the article. VegaDark 20:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Did Couture attend Oregon State U. or was he just a staff member there?  At what school were his collegiate titles won?  He should be linked to the article about List of Oregon State Univ. people.  Casey208.53.88.201 20:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He was just staff there.  I'm pretty sure he went to Oklahoma State. VegaDark 21:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The "biography" section mentions that Couture was a collegiate champion and an Olympic alternqate, but not what sport!!!! (Presumably greco-roman wrestling, but I don't know enough to be able to say, nor what weight etc) --Dave. 23:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: On the wiki page it says he is the first 5 time champ in ufc history yet on the same ufc broadcast it said matt hughes is 9 time champ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.87.54 (talk • contribs) 
:In their terminology, Matt Hughes won a title match 9 times. In Wikipedia, it means the number of times someone newly won a title, not counting title defenses. Hughes is a two-time champ in this sense. hateless 19:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 5 time champ?

message: I removed the bolded line from the paragraph:
On March 3, 2007, at UFC 68, Couture defeated then-champion Tim Sylvia by unanimous decision to claim his third UFC Heavyweight Title, this time at the age of 43. Couture, who used head-movement and boxing techniques, overwhelmed the larger Sylvia in both striking and grappling, including a knockdown in the first 8 seconds of the fight. Couture was able to take Sylvia down numerous times, which led to a 50-45 on all of the judges scorecards. This was despite repeated claims made by Tim Sylvia in videos shot to promote the fight, that Randy had 'lost a step' and had 'retired at the right time'. Couture's victory at UFC 68 made him the first five-time champion in UFC history.
If by despite, you meant, "without being affected by", then this sentence is redundant in its current location, as a reader can be left to conclude by the unanimous decision that Randy was not affected by the comments. (Perhaps he even was affected somehow... it would not be encyclopedic to pronounce either way, though.)
If you meant, "in spite of", then we'd be adding speculation. We'd be saying that Randy won "in spite of" Tim Sylvia's remarks. That is also speculative. It is not possible to describe the internal feelings about Tim's comments unless we can reference him as saying that he fought with Tim's comments driving him.
The only placement of this statement that I think could make sense is before the paragraph, by simply stating, "Tim Sylvia made repeated claims that Randy had 'lost a step' and had 'retired at the right time'." Sancho (talk) 17:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Despite 

message: I always asking myself, when i see him, whats wrong with his left ear? Could this be added on his page?
:It's called Cauliflower ear. His name is on a list of notable cases at that article. Just as a first impression, it doesn't seem like something to add to this article: the other people listed on the Cauliflower_ear page don't have it mentioned in their articles (I know, that's not a reason not to add it here, but it's the reason for my impression). What do you think? Sancho 13:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But that kinda of trait has nothing to do with his career (?) †Bloodpack† 23:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  He got that ear BECAUSE of his career.  A sentence or two to the article about one of his distinguishing traits seems appropriate Marteau (talk) 00:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: ear disease

message: I just realized, this article doesn't look nice. There's so much "stuff" on the page: tables, external links, see alsos. We should work on arranging it all so that it is nicer to look at and easier to follow. Sancho 07:58, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Military Career 

message: Just did a cleanup on this section; among other sins, Couture's last name was misspelled everywhere it appeared.  I also eliminated repetitive and seemingly contradictory verbiage; if I inadvertantly removed something important, please fix. 12.22.250.4 20:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wrestling for Fighting: The Natural Way  

message: *Couture has since replied to the MMAWeekly.com of this title defense against Nogueira, but has declined. Once again mentioning Fedor's name as a legitimate reason for doing so. Other issues involved are mainly due to his personal life and taking time off to "smell the roses".
I've not got a clue what that's trying to say, but it doesn't say it particularly well at present and as it's unsourced I can't fix it. One Night In Hackney303 13:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've seen a video of him with Fedor Emelianenko and Mike Tyson and other videos with guys who's height is well known and there is no way Randy is over 6'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Outsid3r (talk • contribs) 12:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I forgot the title of the movie, but i saw a film's trailer where hes also shown. Its not with Rob Schneider, I think its another one, a more serious movie where a black american is the protagonist. Anyone knows it? Its not mentioned in this article. †Bloodpack† 23:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Kim 

message: Does anyone know why he's fighting Lesnar, instead of the interim champ Nogueira? Lesnar hasn't earned it. He's 1-1 in the UFC. He lost to Frank Mir. Now he gets a title shot? To me this seems like an insult to the interim champ. Is the UFC going to continue having an interim champ once the official champ becomes active again? --JHP (talk) 00:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that this is the place for discussion of this sort, but the interim champ is already fighting Mir in November.  This cannot change due to the format of the ultimate fighter (they are both coaches).  Considering most have 4 months at least between fights, if they stuck to this it would mean Randy couldn't fight until early 2009, and as you might know, time is against him.  Therefore he fights Brock and the winner fights the winner of the interim title.  Disco (talk) 04:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Return to UFC 

message: The article states that Couture has the most fights in the UFC tied with Matt Hughes. I believe that Tito Ortiz now has more fights than both of them after fighting twice in 5 weeks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.68.152 (talk) 22:00, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Randy's Book 

message: The article claims that Randy Couture has the most title reigns (assuming this means defenses?) in the UFC with 5.  That record was broken several times, and is currently held by Anderson Silva with 9 consecutive title defenses.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.36.27 (talk) 06:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It means he won, held and lost the titles (Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight) five separate times. Anderson Silva has one reign, starting when he beat Rich Franklin and ending (I'm guessing) when he decides to retire. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most title reigns 

message: Word from a friend who's also a Couture (and Randy's cousin though I'm not sure if 1st or 2nd or 3rd) is that all Coutures in North America are descended from Guillaume Couture.  No citation for that at present, if there is I'll be back with it someday. 58.8.13.255 (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
