(UFC) Heavyweight Champion Randy "The Natural" Couture will host "Operation All In" poker tournament

rotate.php.jpgI like poker and I really like poker tournaments that are played for a good cause . I also enjoy Boxing as well as the Ultimate Fighting Championship .

One of the best all time fighters at the UFC has to be 5 time UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy "The Natural" Couture . This man is just awesome in the ring , even though he's past the 40 year mark . It was a real shame that he retired from the UFC , in my opinion he still has the ability to fight with the best of them .  Who knows , he may still come back to the octagon .

 A veteran of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, "the Screaming Eagles", Couture started the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation after visiting soldiers who required amputations from their service in the war against terror. According to a press release, the goal of the UFC Hall of Famer's foundation is to raise money to help the "brave men and women fulfill any of their unmet needs as they return back to civilian life."

Randy "The Natural" Couture will host the "Operation All In" poker tournament Saturday, January 12th at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Professional poker players, MMA fighters and Hollywood stars will be participating in the event, which benefits the Xtreme Couture GI Foundation.

There is a 15 table limit on the $550 buy-in tournament, with rebuys available for another $200 and entry is open to the public. Those interested in playing should contact the Hard Rock Hotel box office at 1(800) 473-7625, or through Xtreme Couture MMA at (702) 616-1022.
