Just one week prior to his dad, UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, defending his title, 26-year-old Ryan Couture finished his MMA debut in impression fashion. Ryan secured a triangle choke in the opening stanza of his amateur mixed martial arts debut, forcing a tap from Ricky Perez, who was 1-0 prior to this fight.
This weekend, Ryan, now 1-0 in mixed martial arts, will watch as his dad attempts to defy all odds when he returns to the Octagon after a 15-month layoff to defend his title against Brock Lesnar at UFC 91. The following week, Ryan will cheer on his stepmom Kim Couture as she preps for her Strikeforce debut against Lina Kvokov on November 21st. Couture and Kvokov are both seeking their first win in their young MMA careers. Ryan has set the tone for the family; one down and two more to go. Tune in to UFC 91 as well as Strikeforce: Destruction to see how the other two Couture's fare!
