|  After Saturday’s Amateur Fight, Kim Couture to Make Pro MMA Debut
UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com Quote:
Kim Couture, the president of Xtreme Couture and the wife of UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, will take part in a nationally televised Muay Thai amateur fight this weekend. However, Couture today announced that she’ll then make her professional MMA debut in April.
Couture talked about the April 5 fight with Mauro Renallo while a guest on today’s Fight Network Radio.
Couture, a training partner of top female MMA fighter Gina Carano, will compete in a Muay Thai smoker against fellow amateur female fighter Allison Clarkson on Saturday. HDNet will carry that fight — and up to seven other bouts — as part of a Feb. 29 broadcast that will follow a live International Fight League event.
Then, Couture will head to Portland, Ore., to face Jessica Cruz, who will apparently be making her professional debut, as well (she’s currently not listed in any of the major fighter databases). The bout will be a a part of fighter Chael Sonnen’s fight promotion, the Full Contact Fighting Federation.
In a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com), Couture said she was considering turning pro and that competing on the same card as her husband was “definitely” a goal that they had previously discussed. Couture also told us that she first began training as a simple stress-reliever.
“I run all of the businesses, so it’s a good stress-reliever for me,” she said. “After a hard day’s work, it’s great to relieve some stress and punch something.“
Couture, a former executive casino host in Las Vegas, is the the vice president of Xtreme Couture MMA, one of the world’s top MMA training facilities. She oversees the day-to-day operations of the gym, as well as numerous other business ventures associated with Xtreme Couture, the gym’s fighters and Randy Couture.
