Randy Couture returns to Submission Radio to give his thoughts on the latest big topics in MMA, and give and update on his Hollywood career. “The Natural” talks about Conor McGregor knocking out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, if Aldo deserves a rematch, the Frankie Edgar match up, whether McGregor can hold power over the UFC co-promote with the company, if Conor can realistically hold two title belts simultaneously, the UFC releasing footage of Aldo crying on his locker-room, Ronda Rousey’s KO loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, if Ronda can make the necessary adjustments to win a rematch, how the UFC handled Miesha Tate’s title shot, his thoughts on fighters attitudes towards retirement, being a part of the fourth Expendables movie, and much more.

This is what Couture had to say about Ronda Rousey’s devastating loss  (transcript via MMAFighting):

“I thought by the third or fourth round Ronda would have figured out the footwork and gotten her hands on her and found a way to submit her. Holly had an amazing performance and has demonstrated a ton of class with how she’s dealt with Ronda and the media and all the shock of winning that event. I think, you know, there are occasions where we all kind of need some humble pie and that’s probably where Ronda is sitting right now.”

Alongside his feelings that Rousey’s overconfidence in her hands most likely contributed to her loss to Holly Holm, he had some thoughts about what she might change for the rematch:

“I think those are things that can be fixed. Change her approach to closing the distance and getting your hands on Holly. Make Holly operate where [Rousey] is strongest. How many judo medalists do we have in this sport? Time and time again that’s where she’s won her fights.”

“It looked to me like she thought she was going to go out and strike with a world-class boxer and that’s always a bad idea,” said Couture. “It would have been a bad idea for me to do it with James Toney, it was a bad idea for her to do it with Holly Holm.”
