The 49-year-old Coutre told G4TV's Attack of the Show that he had no future fighting plans: "No, I think everything I set out to do, I managed to pull off, and it has been an amazing journey for 15 years. Not unless (Steven) Seagal wants to sign up."
Media savy 60-year-old Steven pounced:
"I always thought that Randy was my friend and a gentleman," Seagal told The MMA Hour. "I'm kind of confused as to why he would say that. All I can say is, I'm here. Anybody can find me anytime and anyplace. If Randy really wants to fight me, he can fight me anytime he wants. It'll be for free, and it'll be some place where there are no witnesses. I don't play by rules. That's not how I fight."
"I'm the one that started the joke as an off-handed comment I made to Jay Glazer - that I'd only come out of retirement if it were to fight Seagal," Couture told CagePotato. "Obviously now somebody has talked to him about it and it has gotten some legs. I'm not surprised that he wants to do it in private, remote location where nobody could see it happen. Obviously I intended it as a joke. I don't think it would really happen."
It's very real, it's very street. It's in the long list of martial arts that MMA has shown doesn't work. Even if Seagal did invent the front kick.....
