BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Six-Time UFC World Champion Randy Couture leads the “Space Coast Ride for Our Troops” from Space Coast Harlery-Davidson in Palm Bay to the George and Dragon English Tavern in Historic Cocoa Village.  Money raised will go to the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation, which assists Combat Veterans and their families.

The Xtreme Couture GI Foundation was formed to raise money and awareness to assist our Nations Combat Veterans and their families struggling with financial burdens as they return to civilian life.

Couture is an actor, UFC Champion, former collegiate and Greco-Roman wrestler, and served in the U.S. Army 101st Airborne from 1982-1988.

After completing his military service, Couture decided to begin working as an assistant wrestling and strength conditioning coach at Oregon State University. By December of 1997, at the age of 33, Randy made his debut into the world of professional fighting, claiming victory in the Heavyweight division of his first appearance in the UFC.

With over 25 years of training in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, Couture’s preferred method of offense in mixed martial arts competition was what is commonly referred to as “Ground and Pound.”

Although this method was Couture’s token move, he also demonstrated a variety of skills in both boxing as well as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He eventually moved down a weight class to the Light-Heavyweight division, where he would spend the remainder of his UFC career spanking out one victory after another.

Couture is to this day the only UFC competitor to hold titles in the both the Heavyweight and Light-Heavyweight divisions, and he was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in June of 2006.

He dedicates his time to running his own gym, Xtreme Couture MMA; a thriving clothing line, Xtreme Couture MMA Clothing; commentating for the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and formerly commented for the UFC and on Fox. Along with starting his own nonprofit the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation Couture is dedicated to honoring the veterans of America’s armed forces.
