Randy Couture Week is an intense look at an MMA legend on the brink of a big fight at this weekend's UFC 91 in Las Vegas.
Having vanquished Maurice Smith to capture the UFC heavyweight title, it seemed Randy had nowhere to go but down. Randy found another place he could go: Japan. It was the first time, but not the last, that Randy would get into a contract dispute with the UFC, which was owned by Semaphore Entertainment Group at the time. When Randy and SEG could not come to terms on a contract, the UFC stripped him of his title. It would be three years before he stepped foot in the Octagon again.
