A&E Biography: Emmy Award-winning show to feature UFCs Randy Couture


From FightNetwork.com

Quoteworthy:

“UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture will be featured on an upcoming installment of A&E’s ‘Biography,’ the Emmy-award winning series that has profiled some of the world’s most influential people, from statesmen and Supreme Court justices to activists and pop-culture icons. Soon, Couture’s name will placed alongside those of Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey and Christopher Columbus…. Filming on Couture’s episode will begin next week and will include interviews with Couture’s two oldest children, his mother, referee ‘Big’ John McCarthy and a host of others closest to the only five-time champion in UFC history.”

This is quite an honor and remarkable achievement for not only “The Natural,” but the sport of mixed martial arts, too. “Biography” is a very well respected and high profile series that will no doubt penetrate a new — and rather large — audience. Now all the network needs to do is have Bill Kurtis narrate this thing.
