Randy Couture who was motionless for minutes after he was knocked out, showed no frustration and stood up waving to the crowd and still managed to joke about a conversation between him and Joe Rogan: “I think the last time we had this conversation, I had all my teeth.”

Lyoto Machida, the 32-year-old Brazilian champ also knocks one of Randy Couture’s front teeth. Dana White who saw what happened and immediately went up to the Octagon to talk to Couture elaborated the story: “Are you alright? (asking Couture) He says, ‘Yeah, he hit me in the tooth,’ and it fell out while he was showing me.”

After a standing ovation and a loud applause from the fans, the 47-year-old and UFC’s five time champion – Randy Couture – was immediately brought to the hospital for a head check.

Machida is good, but not on Randy’s level, regardless of how this fight turned out.

  because beating someone at something they do doesn’t mean that you’re better than they are at it at all. idiot

    Beating someone once doesn’t prove a damn thing, it means you’re a contender. It does NOT make you better, unless you replicate it. Now if he consistantly beat him, multiple times, then I would say he’s better. Everyone loses fights, and your record is what dipicts your true skill level. Who knows, a fighter could have a cold, or their Mother/Father just died, there are a number of factors that could lead to a single loss. Get your head out of your rear buddy. You’re the idiot.
