    Yeah, rednecks and neo-nazis give us regular white folks a bad rep. Just try and say you're proud to be white and see what happens.

    the general, overiding problem with people is that they tend to think that whatever they are is better than everyone else...or at the very least that there are people of lesser stature than themselves.

    While it is true I do think I am a better person in general than Dana White, overall Mat needs to relax a bit

    There was a term coined for this state of mind way back when...EGO-CENTRIC.

    Not even limited to whatever they are...whatever they have as well (new phone, car, food they eat, lifestyle...list is too long but i think you get my point)

    Reports suggest he is expected to make a full recovery but will continue to be treated.

    Long-term partner Mindy Robinson confirmed the news on social media.

    She tweeted: "Yes, Randy had a heart attack yesterday.

    "It’s an issue with him having naturally but unusually thick blood.

    "We’ve been in the hospital for tests and observation and he is recovering well.

    "He has and always will be...the toughest man I know."

    Couture, 56, is one of the greats of MMA, a three-time world champion and competed in a record 16 title fights.

    The heavyweight is know for his victories over fellow legends such as Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz and Vitor Belfort.

    He is also the only fighter over the age of 40 to win a UFC bout - and did it four times after hitting the landmark birthday.

    Couture finished with a professional record of 19-11, with his last bout coming at UFC 129 - when he was 47.

    Two years later he agreed to become a coach with rival promotion Bellator.

    It was not just in the cage that he made a name for himself, either.

    After retiring from MMA, the American turned to a new career in acting.

    He appeared in The Expendables trilogy as well The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior.

    On the smaller screen, he starred in Hell's Kitchen, Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Hawaii Five-0.

    Before MMA, Couture served in the US Army for six years and was a sergeant in the 101st Airborne.
    Hoping the best for Randy.

    Walks home

    ...such a badass. Glad to hear he's on the mend.


    RANDY COUTURE WALKS HOME FROM HOSPITAL

    'Back To Work On Tuesday!!!'
    10/26/2019 12:40 AM PT
    EXCLUSIVE
    OVERWHELMED BY THE SUPPORT
    TMZSports.com

    Randy Couture is so **** tough ... HE WALKED HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER SUFFERING A HEART ATTACK!!!

    Just 2 days after the 56-year-old UFC Hall of Famer suffered a heart attack and underwent an emergency procedure ... Couture walked out of Cedars Sinai under his own power.

    Couture, clutching an adorable oversized stuffed animal, was surrounded by his family and friends as he walked home Friday ... and told TMZ Sports all about the experience.

    "Feeling good, way better obviously," Couture said ... admitting the health scare was a reality check about mortality.

    "At some level, you think you're invincible and then you find out you're not."



    The good news, Couture says doctors have identified the problem and he'll be following up with specialists to make sure this never happens again!!!

    Couture says he's already itching to get back in the gym and resume training with his MMA pals ... but knows he should take it slow. Good luck stopping this man.

    Oh, and he's already planning to get back to work in Hollywood -- telling TMZ Sports he's got a shoot for a new movie with Michael Jai White on Tuesday and he ain't missing it!!!

    There's more ... Couture says he was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from close friends and old rivals ... including Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, who both reached out.

    Great ending to a scary story.
