Strikeforce has officially announced the signing of Ryan Couture, son of UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, who will compete on the Strikeforce Challengers card in Phoenix next month. He and his opponent, Lucas Stark, will both be making their professional MMA debuts.
Ryan Couture (amateur: 5-1-1) has previously fought with the amateur MMA promotion Tuff-N-Uff, based out of Las Vegas. His most recent fight with them, his last amateur bout, proved to be filled with controversy when the young star was choked into unconsciousness by his opponent Sean Bollinger, yet Couture still managed to avoid a loss and pick up a draw.
Regardless of what happened at Tuff-N-Uff, it’s still safe to say that Ryan Couture is a very talented upcoming fighter and has priceless name value based on his bloodline.
Strikeforce Challengers 10 takes place in Phoenix, Arizona on August 13th from the Dodge Theatre and will air live on Showtime.
