Not to get all black-and-white-movie on you, but watching a guy like Randy Couture ride off into the sunset sure does conjure up the feelings.
After all, Couture, who is reportedly hanging up his MMA gloves after fighting Lyoto Machida at UFC 129, is nicknamed "The Natural" and "Captain America." You don't get those names because you were an unpopular ne'er-do-well.
He's the Brett Favre of MMA (before Favre lost his mind, anyway). He is beloved among peers, MMA brass and hardcore and casual fans alike, and that's all there is to it. He's the kind of athlete and personality that requires the existence of things like halls of fame.
In any case, here are Couture's top 15 career-defining moments. As with most any career retrospective, this one depicts wins and losses, good and bad and moments in and out of the cage. The full arc.
That said, this list is not subjective. It is definitively right, and there's nothing you can say about it.
Just kidding...feel free to have at it in the comments if you like. And please enjoy.
