Couture and Vera in action

Just thought I’d follow up on a post from a couple of days ago with a little video. The next big women’s MMA bout will be Kim Couture vs. Kerry Vera at the November 20 Strikeforce: Challengers event.

Couture, the ex-wife of UFC great Randy Couture, has a 1-1 MMA record, although she’s better known for the loss than the win. She took a brutal amount of punishment in her debut against Kim Rose at Night of Combat, including suffering a broken jaw in the early going. By the end she looked like an abused spouse, which must have made for some strange looks when she and Randy were out together in the days following the fight.

Vera, the wife of UFC light heavyweight Brandon Vera, is 1-0 after a unanimous decision over Leslie Smith in May at Bellator Fighting Championships.
