She has big shoes to fill. People are going to expect more from her because she has the Couture name and is from the Couture training camp. She has heart and courage.

I think she'd be really good if she went back and trained for a couple years and maybe did some amateur fights. She definitely has heart and courage but there are a lot of women fighters out there who have paid their dues and don't block with their face who I think deserve to be in the spotlight more. But it is all about publicity, what you look like and who you know.

Couture: ‘I was in Control for Most of the Fight’

You seem to be obsessed with this fight, are you competing soon? What level?

No, I just follow WMMA closely. I am not anywhere near to being ready to compete and I'm not really interested. I just train a lot for fun.

If I ever do BJJ I may compete in that or some other sport where you don't get punched in the face. I've thought of competing in Olylifting but am nowhere near ready for that either.

One of the girls in my gym is ready to compete though; she is killer. Not sure she wants it though.

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Kim Couture - Bloody Elbow

How about some Gina Carano Fight clips.

I tend to agree...

What Everyone Gets Wrong About Kim*Couture - Bloody Elbow

It seemed fairly obvious she wasn't up to the task of fighting a (real) pro...

Sadly...

If you have a broken nose and broken jaw you are getting your Arse Whupped.

Not necessarly, I remember Ali won with a broken jaw...I believe against forman. (But he did get his ass kicked)

It was against Ken Norton but his nose wasn't broken.

Jeff Monson fought Josh Barnett with a broken hand. But he broke his hand by punching Barnett. Instead of the "baby-faced assassin", I think Barnett should be the hard-headed assassin. He's such a great fighter.

Anyone catch Barnett last night. Impressive performance, as per usual.
