Default Couture teaming with Wanderlei?

It was a great report by Loretta Hunt over on the Fight Network today. Lots of juicy tidbits. But this one really struck me as cool.

Quote:
COUTURE ON WANDERLEI
...On the other hand, Couture confirmed recent mumblings that former PRIDE Middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva might be joining him to train and possibly teach in Las Vegas.

“Wanderlei and I sat down with our wives and we had lunch in Ohio,” said Couture. “He’s a very nice guy and we are both very interested in getting together to train. I’m looking for some muay Thai influence to go with Xtreme Couture’s wrestling and other offerings, so there is a good possibility this could happen.”

Couture said there is also a chance Silva would be involved in the launching of Couture’s next Xtreme Couture facility in West Palm Beach, Florida in the coming months.

Sounds awesome. Randy can give Wandy some pointers for fighting Chuck.

Nice. I'm sure they could teach each other a thing or two.





Two MMA-legends. Totally different styles.

I think the team up would help both out greatly.

thats sound cool, Randy want to learn some Muy Thai, that would make him even better, so if he can't take his opponent down then he could could just stand and be EVEN MORE devastating. Walderlei can also get better in the ground game, Randy is the guy for that stuff.
