Randy Couture regrets rivalry with 'Rampage' Jackson
Randy Couture was a fighter who let his performances speak for themselves, often brutally destroying his opponents with his immense wrestling skills.
Outside the cage, however, he didn't really like to go back and forth verbally.
So he was deeply upset when he got into an argument with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson over something he said about his fellow legend during commentary.
The pair, who have since made up, sat down together on The Jaxxon Podcast to discuss their past fallout.

Couture said: “I honestly don't regret it that much. Yours was one of the regrets, someone I considered a friend, and I hated going out and having to deal with you.
Rampage admitted: “That was my fault; I acted like a baby. I should have come and talked to you sooner. That's what I thought about after we talked it out, you know what?: I should have just been a man about it and come and talked to you about it.
“Yes, you're right, you're doing your job, you're commenting, I shouldn't have worried about that.”
Satisfied with the explanation, 'The Natural' exclaimed, “It is what it is. Ultimately, we are on good terms again here, and that makes me happy. That makes my heart happy. I appreciate that.”

As proof of his fighting spirit, Couture always gave his best and regularly won matches where most thought he had little chance.
It's that level of confidence that allowed the American to cement his place as one of the greatest to ever grace the cage.
On one occasion, people even called him “crazy” ahead of one of the biggest wins of his career.
