Randy Couture Files for Divorce:
Yesterday [Apr. 28] Randy Couture served his wife of over two years, Kim Couture, with divorce papers. The news was a shock to those close to the couple and even more to Kim, who pulled out of her televised main event fight due to the devastating news. This marks Randy's third divorce.

Maybe he's finally tired of buying ladies houses and he'll learn this time....
Man, if I got divorced there’s no way in hell I’d marry again.
That sucks.
Hopefully things work out for each.

True
I thought he was a family man who’s financial empire was successfully built by Kim C. I gotta think that he doesn’t know when he’s got it good, unless she wanted more of the fighting limelight on his name.
Sucks all around, by all appearances they made a good couple.

there is alot of people who think that kim was a big reason as to why randy had so many problems with zuffa in the 1rst place. he went from being given a shot at the hw title after being retired for a year (and 2 losses in a row to chuck at lhw) to winning the hw title and defending it and seemingly being on top of the world to being completley disgruntled with no warning. makes one wonder what if?
THREE divorces. Dude, you gotta think that Randy had a part to play in this. 3 is pretty significant.
It happens, three isn’t as significant as you might think in and of itself and we really don’t know much about Randy’s personal life (do we need to know much about Randy’s personal life?).
I don’t care who’s fault it is. However, 3 divorces is a bit much. It could be that he’s unlucky. Then again, he picked his wives didn’t he?
Fool me once, shame me. Fool me thrice, there’s something wrong with me.
My father is on wife number 4 the only thing wrong with him is that he needs to stop getting married. Without knowing more about his personal life you can’t really make any judgements about either of the people involved.
I can, and I will. Some of us have a higher standard of marriage then others. We are entitled to that opinion. You are entitled to ridicule and disagree with our opinion all you want, but we are entitled to share that opinion.
Divorce happens and it sucks. There are many things that can be done along the way to prevent it from happening (not get married, seek counseling, communicate, etc.) Did he do these things I’m not sure, but apparently to me he didn’t do enough. He’s human, and it’s very understandable, but not completely excusable in some of our eyes.
One time it can be blamed on someone else. More than that then it’s time to start taking responsibility. If someone keeps telling you that it isn’t your fault that you did everything right then you should probably take a hard look at that “friend” as they are very likely enabling you to failure.

Isn’t there more important things to spend time writing and thinking about? Who gives a shit if he is getting divorced for the 3rd time. Maybe it was his fault, maybe it was not his fault….but last time I checked none of us know the real reason behind it the move. I guess I don’t feel the need to gather at the water cooler and chitty chat about Randy’s personal life. You’ve already played the “we can talk about whatever we want” card, so I’m sure you’ll just repeat that again. My question is, why the hell do you want to talk about it….weren’t there just some good fights and some good upcoming fights to talk about?
In fact, I’m sorry I even clicked on this thread to read it…..I wish I could rate this article with negative rec’s.
Uhm, if you have more important things to do than even read this post, then the comments, and then decide to write a your own multi-part comment, then why did you?
Why do I care? It is because I have deep respect for Randy the fighter/trainer and for Randy the person. If I care about someone or something then we need to strive to care for the whole. If we blind ourselves to other peoples flaws well we are hurting both ourselves and those people. If we accept and acknowledged the flaw well then we can move on together. Randy has invited us into his life through fighting, acting, selling shirts, and training, He wants us to care about his well being.
And how do you know what his flaws are from this? How can you judge him based only on this? People are acting like the guy has some kind of glaring personal problems or needs therapy without even knowing anything about the situation. If you care about the guy or have any respect for him then perhaps you should refrain from judging his personal life until Perez Hilton digs up some dirt to comment on. We don’t know anything at all here except they have a problem of some sort that is causing him to want to end the relationship.
I’m not telling you how to think I am point out the reality of the situation.
1. This isn’t as uncommon as some people think, yes santitiy of marrage and all that stuff is great but lets not act like this is something rare in modern society. His morals aren’t neccessarily your morals or anyone elses morals for that matter and in this situation what any of us think is completly irrelevant to his situation.
2. We don’t know about his home life or why this is happening and assuming reasons just makes asses out of the people making the assumptions. Unless you have walked in his shoes are at least know a bit more than what it says on Wikipedia about his personal life it is silly to make assumptions about what is going on here.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion but good grief blindly speculating on another human being’s personal life or judging him based on this is a bit outrageous. Don’t worry I’m sure all the juicy details will eventually leak out but as of now we people are just assuming all sorts of wild things about these two people.
I think the best thing to do here is to blindly speculate on the relationship. What a fucking bitch, AMIRITE?
I heard that one of them was a different species.

At least I know now to never accept a wedding proposal from Randy “I’ll divorce that ass quick” Couture

Hopefully this doesn’t mess with his head in his training and fighting, like his previous divorce was rumored to.

It will be interesting to see how this affects Xtreme Couture and the careers of both. It’s hard do determine just what Kim brings to the table there, but she is very vocal. She seems to be doing interviews all the time, and they usually have much to do with MMA. Whatever you think of her, Kim was just slated to be on a televised Strikeforce event.
Actually
I was thinking how this could crush any possibility of Gina in Zuffa’s ranks in the near future. The Dana>Randy>Kim>Gina bridge is burned.
I poop rainbows.
I think you’re overstating the impact of Kim or Randy in Dana’s interest in Gina.

Not really
Since they seem willing to let her sign elsewhere. Probably makes the decision a little easier for her.
I poop rainbows.
Remind me not to take marital advice from Randy Couture.

Randy needs to go to a therapist before he starts a new relationship. That was his first mistake the first two times.
Did Kim really think it was going to last given the circumstances under which they got together?

The big question is
With Kim no longer having the name “Couture”, will anybody still give a shit about her fights?
I’m thinkin no.

I kinda did about 1 of them. I found out after the fact that she got tore up pretty badly (?broken nose?, ?cut?) and I checked out the pictures afterwords for the “train wreck” factor. All I remember is the photo was brutal.
If Kim really got caught by suprise on this… Sure, divorces happen, but a third time for the same guy – after being married for two years? Randy has problems. Big ones. He will probably have no problems getting a new woman, but after something like this, he really needs help. Whether he starts seeking some is a totally different matter.

I love how everyone here is saying Randy needs therapy. If you think you can comment on a stranger’s mental state, then you’re the one that needs therapy
Yea that made me scratch my head too, how does getting a divorce equate to needing therapy? It’s not that uncommon for people to be married (and divorced) multiple times in the modern world and without knowing anything else about this that is an awful huge assumption to be making.
I know it’s not the end of the world, but it makes me very sad. Randy’s always been a hero for many of us hardcore fans. He carries himself with class and grace and I always thought Kim was an elegant person, too.
I wish them both the best in their future relationships.
