HISTORY: On August 21, 2004 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Randy Couture challenged Victor Belfort for his UFC light heavyweight title. Couture stopped Belfort who could not come out for the 4th round. LAS VEGAS, Aug. 21 -- It's the age-old story, and Saturday night 41-year-old Randy Couture reminded us that steady beats fast ... steady beats flash ... steady, simply, wins. In front of 12,157 people inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Couture methodically grinded away at UFC light heavyweight champion Victor Belfort's face, forcing the physician at ringside to call a halt to the contest between the third and fourth periods, despite Belfort's protests that he could continue
Couture, who came into the fight a slight -170 favorite in the MGM sportsbook, looked calm as he made his way into the Octagon. The pro-Couture crowd roared as he entered the arena, while Belfort, despite his status as champion, heard a smattering of boos as he, and his large entourage, walked through the nearly-sold-out building.
