At first glance, you see no weakness in the UFC’s Krzysztof Soszynski. With an imposing figure of chiseled muscle, he
looks like a guy who could snap you in two if duly provoked. And he

lifelong martial artist, and we’re just trying to keep evolving and
blend it all together.”

UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture isn’t exactly
hanging up the gloves just yet, but he admits fighting is no longer his
primary focus.

In fact, following his most recent cinematic role in “The Expendables,”
Couture says he realizes his future is brighter in Hollywood than it is
