Randy Couture has been in a holding pattern for months while waiting for the UFC to decide his future. He spoke of retirement in just about every public conversation during November and December.
Turns out he was forcing the UFC's hand. Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer is reporting that the UFC legend will get Lyoto Machida at UFC 129 in Toronto.
Update: There are some reports that fight isn't signed yet.
The MMA blogosphere went crazy for an hour earlier this month when Couture said he was done.
Some quick conversation with folks at Couture's gym in Las Vegas indicated that he was done if Quinton Jackson was the only fight being offered.
It was Machida or bust for the former light heavyweight and heavyweight champ. The promotion granted Couture his wish and he'll be the co-main event along with Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields in front of what should be the largest crowd to ever witness an MMA card in N. America at Toronto's Rogers Centre.
