Ryan Couture vs. Ricky Perez – Watch more Free Videos
Randy Couture‘s son, Ryan, was successful in his amateur debut this past weekend, submitting Ricky Perez in the first round. The reaction from Ryan’s friends in the crowd is, let’s just say, enthusiastic.
I always have mixed feelings watching the children of famous people attempt to do what their famous parents do. On one hand, Couture’s son probably has great genetics and excellent training to help him along. On the other, he’s always going to be known as Randy Couture’s son.
Just think about what he’d have to do in order to get out from under that cloud as an MMA fighter. If he became the greatest fighter in the history of the sport, if he defeated the children of Fedor Emelianenko and Chuck Liddell on the same night and then beat up Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson‘s love child on his way back to the locker room (naturally I assume that the Ortiz/Jameson offspring will be a screaming drunk in the audience) that might do it.
Who knows, sometimes the child eclipses the father, and that is one hell of a triangle choke. But for every Peyton Manning there’s a Gloria Hemingway. Best of luck in avoiding that fate, little Couture.

commentsThere is....its called WWE!!!
LMAO
have u ever concidered the amount of injuries that would cause the abuse of drugs?
Reason I want him up at 225 before the cut, is so he can be on par with Randy. He should be a very solid 205 at that point, and we can really test him out. We could also pull this off in Japan too so there is no drug testing.
Thus we'd also be able to put both of them on amphetamines before the fight. EPIC WIN.
I really wish there was a league for guys where there was no drug testing and steroids as well as stimulants were legal. Purely for entertainment value. Just imagine what kind of wars these guys would have. Replace technical skills with sheer explosiveness and that added boost that keeps them from quiting.
A quick sub, or even a quick knock out are very impressive. But my favorite fights are the ones that go all the rounds at a constant pace, where the fight just goes back and forth with no clear winner until the judges decide or that last round someone gets finished. There was one on here a few months back a Sengoku fight I think between what looked like lightweights. It went all the rounds to a decision but it was literally a war.
Yeah but if Helio had the TV and internet exposure that Royce and Renzo had access to, maybe it would be different. We only know about Royce because of the UFC (early 1990's). EVERYONE knew about the Gracies before UFC 1, and it was because of the 1st and 2nd generation of their family. WE were just new to it, not them.

Children of champions are not like bad sequels to a kick ass original.
You make a very valid point. But if Randy were able to impregnate himself in some sort of weird government experiment would his baby be an exact duplicate of himself. Now I'm sure Ryan's mom isn't as awesome as Randy and he probably inhereted some of her genetic traits wich would automaticaly make him not near as powerful as his father. Is this what you are trying to say?
But chances are also good he won't be nearly the natural that is Dad was. It is a simple statistical truth: regression towards the mean. Anytime you have something so exceptional that it is far beyond the average, instead of compounding its exceptionalism, it is more likely to swing back towards the average in the next generation.
For example, if Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking were to have a love child (sorry, I would have used a female genius in this example, but really... are there any?), chances are very good that their child would have significantly above average intelligence. However, their child would not be some kind of super genius, and instead would likely not be near the level of genius of either of the two parents. This is simply known as a statistical regression towards the mean, as all things far outside of the average have a natural tendency to regress back towards the average. It doesn't mean that it immediately drops back to average, but statistically Ryan should possess less exceptionalism than his father, when his father is so far beyond what is considered normal.
But for all we know, Ryan mother is a fat tub of lard who has two left feet and the coordination of Napolean Dynamite, so he could downright suck!
