A former three-time UFC heavyweight champion, Randy_Couture has found a new passion in acting. Couture speaks with JustinBarrasso about his latest role in the movie, ‘MVP’
is a film inspired by the MVP outreach program, which stands for Merging Vets & Players. That is an entity which connects military veterans with former athletes to train and share life experiences, which also is the plot line for the movie., which features Sylvester Stallone as an executive producer, is built around a pro athlete struggling to find an identity after retiring.
“My purpose has always been providing for my family,” said Couture. “I wasn’t going to be like my dad, who was a deadbeat and never really around. That made it easy for me. I needed to support my family, then get my degree–and I wrestled for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, then competed in the UFC. So I knew who I was when I gave up my uniform. The same was true when I retired from fighting. I knew how to transition my energy to other projects, like acting, when I had this built-in purpose.
“For Nate to find a way to tell this story, it’s pretty awesome. The story is very powerful, and I am happy to be part of it.”Yoel Romero competes next week at Bellator 285, showing off his fighting prowess in a light heavyweight bout against Melvin Manhoef. Following a seven-year run in UFC, Romero has found a home in Bellator. He came out even in first two bouts with the promotion, losing to Phil Davis via split decision last September before producing a TKO victory against Alex Polizzi in May. If he can deliver a victory against Manhoef , that would build significant momentum for a shot for the light heavyweight belt, against either reigning champ Vadim Nemkov or top contender Corey Anderson.
“I have a big responsibility to represent fighters from my generation,” Romero says. “That just fuels my competitive fire. I’m going to do whatever the new generation does just as well as they do, then put my own twist on it. I want to do it bigger and better against the younger fighters.
