Kim Couture Pulls Out of Strikeforce Bout Against Miesha Tate; Marital Problems to Blame?

Kim Couture Miesha Tate Strikeforce MMA
(Well, at least now they'll have to make a new poster where Miesha's name is spelled correctly. Image courtesy of FighterGirls.com.)

Friends and fans of Miesha Tate were in for a shock yesterday when this bulletin notice was sent out from Tate's Myspace page:

Date: Apr 28, 2009 7:32 PM
Subject: Kim pulls out.....
Body: So Kim "SugarFree" Couture is pulling out of the fight supposedly cuz her and Randy are getting a divorce...........I'm so pissed right now......Sugar Free my ass!!

Though Tate's camp confirmed to PRO MMA that her May 15th Strikeforce Challengers bout against Couture had been scrapped, Miesha later took to Sherdog to back off her claim that Randy was headed for his third epic marriage fail:

So I misunderstood about what I had previously stated, I have a few friends that train at Extreme Couture one of which told me Randy and Kim were having issues and then she backed out of the fight on me and I was VERY upset because most of you know this fight meant the world to me, it was my big break and I was really upset when I found out and jumped to conclusions. My apologies to Randy and Kim, When I wrote about them I meant no ill intentions and didn't mean to blast their personal life, I was just focused on the fact I wasn't going to get the fight. I forget how famous they are and didn't even think how that might effect them and their personal life which was immature and stress my apology to them and who ever else it may concern

There's been no official statement from Strikeforce or the Coutures yet — but my God, with Randy preparing for Big Nog in August, he needs this shit like he needs a hole in the head.

Kim Couture (1-1) and Miesha Tate (6-1) were both slated to make their second appearance under the Strikeforce banner. Couture most recently beat the crap out of a woefully unprepared Lina Kvokov at "Strikeforce: Destruction" last November, while Tate has been on a five-fight win-streak since getting KO'd by Kaitlin Young in November 2007.

Good God, Kim looks fucking terrible in that picture.

10 bucks says Randy was caught chasing tail again...

She looks good to me ...Like her hair to ..she looks like a hawt black chic ...

Sure he did - as soon as he saw that poster he couldn't get it up for his wife, for damned sure.

If you shaved Kim's head in that picture she'd look like Randy Couture.

Well this is fucked... The divorce I mean. Women's MMA is always fucked.

Who cares! Its women's MMA. Do any of you watch the WNBA? To say its a step down from the pro-men's MMA is an udnerstatement.

WITH EVERY FIGHT KIM TARNISHES THE COUTURE NAME. IT'S CLEAR TO ME RANDY WANTS TO SWING OVER TO CYBORGS VINE IF YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING

Kim Couture is a cunt.

What ever happened to that guy?

Jeffro, right here bro. Don't post as much because of all the fuckin idiots in the blog now. Well, she is a cunt, but I'm starting to think Randy is a real prize behind closed doors. LOL.

Kim was probably sleeping with Randy son Ryan!

So does this not kind of show that Randy is most likely a total fucker to his spouses?

I mean 3/3...come on dude

kim is a cunt she need to give up that backdoor or else.
tired of her thinking she can fight.

Considering that 99.5% of women are batshit crazy and completely illogical.. I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

I would go 1 round or 5 with Meisha.

Kim busted some triflin'-ass ho makin' her man chicken tetrazzini.

I'd do them both

Sugar Free is a stupid nickname. No, just no.

Good for Randy. He can pull better tail than that anyway.

Randy is in South America shooting "The Expendables." I hardly think he's been signing off on divorce papers from there.

Why does Kim look black in that picture?

You want to make this fight happen, you tell Kim Randy's been screwing with Miesha.

Tate was going to WRECK Couture.... it's a smart move on Kim's part, but pretty crappy for people who were looking forward to seeing her get mutilated in the cage again.

I'm willing to bet Randy dumped her for being so hideously ugly, and I don't blame him.

yeah couture should just stick to banging twenty-year-olds

"not bad for an old man" - Couture

I'm leaving Randy because I'd rather play with Gina's huge tits than look at Randy's wrinkled up nut sack.

Whores are only fun to watch fight on the street. I like to see the hair pullin, and the tit floppage. Get em the hell out of MMA!

She was a waste of Sperm and Egg...She has no business fighting...She was living off his name...I am glad he is getting rid of that psycho...

OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT PICTURE KIM COTURE IS BLACK!

randys divorcing her because hes racist

Kim looks bad in the pic ofcourse, but Tate..... oh how you've gone and gotten yourself on a lot of people shitlist/blacklists with your comments.
Typical chick, don't know when to keep her friggin mouth shut.

Damn Kim Coture is haggard. She isnt a fighter at all....grose

chicken tetrazzini!

That Meisha Tate has the perfect face for porn.

People, PEOPLE! I think we're all missing the point of this article; namely that Miesha is smoking hot and she wants me something terrible.

Lol @ Boober btw

I figured she was pulling out because Randy forgot to.

I had no idea Kim Couture was black...
Should be a good fight!

Miesha would GNP Kim to death. Now Kim is getting all kinds of pub and support without having to fight Tate. Hmmm, sounds a lil fishy.

Kim's leaving Randy because she want's to be with a real man.

Kim looks like a black chick in that picture. Not that she ever looks good anyways.

She looks like a mexican Shenaenae. I'd dump that bitch to and get a broad that speaks english and not ebonics. Everytime I see her I am trying to find the hotness. I am sad to report, it's just not there.

LMAO @ Richard Wad - "Should be a good fight" - dumbass... did you even read this?

Does this mean Kim's 15 minutes of fame are over?

Kim's ultimate revenge on Randy would be to hook up with Rashad Evans and change her nickname to "Full o' Sugar".

How to go from dyed blonde white chick to braided haired black chick.

Its almost as impressive as Cristiane Santos becoming Mr. Cyborg Santos. (I think she competes both as a man and woman under that name. I've checked some Cyborg Santos videos and she looks more like a dude... although fruitier.)

Kim is a complete butterface, thats it.. and thats still pushing it

I think its time for a name change for little Kim. I'm thinking instead of "sugar free" How about Kim "From the Block" thanks to her ghetto fabulous hair styling. I didn't know Randy had a thing for Latinos!

No, Richard. I obviously didn't read the title or the contents of this thread. I just didn't know that Kim Couture was black!

i would have too. look at that hair.
I mean why bang kim when you can bang Gina Carano.
You know that's why he dumped her. He has to be banging Gina.

Why does Kim Couture look like Halle Berry on the banner?

I'm sensing a little (not so) undercover racism. So what if she is black, latino, or not so hot in your eyes. he liked something about her enough to marry her. Now he sees something that makes him want to divorce her. 3 divorces kind of narrows down who is the problem in marriages. I love Randy for what he has done for the sport, but I (like most of you) know nothing of how he is in his personal life. For the record though. I don't think Kim is such a bad looking woman, and that hairstyle is worn by lots of woman fighters. Who wants hair flopping into their eyes in a fight? Lastly, lots of times the women's mma is more exciting than the men, because they have something to prove and the rounds are usually shorter.
