Randy Couture has a broken left arm
Apparently being a middle-aged fighter handicapped by a 25-pound disadvantage wasn't enough of a test for Randy Couture (Pictures). No, confirmed the UFC heavyweight champion, he had to fight his way past Gabriel Gonzaga (Pictures) with a broken left arm as well on Saturday.
In the aftermath of his third-round stoppage, The Fight Network reported Monday that "The Natural" endured a broken forearm after blocking the same Gonzaga high hick that knocked Mirko Filipovic (Pictures) out cold in April.
Couture won't be forced into a cast, and instead will wear a splint for six weeks.
Throughout his two-plus-round fight, Couture battered Napao, at one point forcing a break of Gonzaga's nose after picking up and slamming the challenger to the canvas.
"The Natural" looked at home in the clinch, connecting with solid punches and elbows on the inside. And in the third, after absorbing the bone-breaking kick, Couture put Gonzaga on the canvas where he wailed away until referee Herb Dean (Pictures) jumped in to stop the fight.
Couture did not learn until Sunday that a bone was broken
