Randy Couture suffered a broken arm during the Gonzaga fight?

Joe Lauzon posted as much on his MySpace page, quoting a Fight Network report. Not exactly breaking new ground by suggesting that Randy Couture is a world class badass, considering he dished out such a hellacious beatdown with one functioning arm he’s downright inhuman. Or, to quote Lauzon “guy is a mutant”. From the Fight Network report:

Even Superman feels it from time to time.

Following yet another feather-in-his-cap performance Saturday at UFC 74 in Las Vegas, real life superhero Randy Couture (16-8), was informed Sunday by doctors that he’d broken his arm during his third round TKO stoppage of Gabriel Gonzaga (8-2).

Couture, 44, sustained the injury Saturday blocking a Gonzaga right high kick with his left forearm, cleanly separating the ulna bone with a “nightstick fracture,” a break common in law enforcement circles. The injury placed the UFC heavyweight champion’s arm in a splint for six weeks. The appendage will not need a cast.

“It’s not displaced, so the doctors think it will reattach in about a week and a half,” said Couture, who embarks on a South African adventure to shoot a leading role in major motion picture “The Scorpion King – The Akkadian” in nearly six weeks. It is believed the injury will not effect Couture’s shooting schedule.
