Reigning UFC heavyweight champion and MMA legend Randy Couture will be featured in an hour-long documentary on the Biography channel. "Biography: Randy Couture" debuts today at 10 p.m. ET on the Biography Channel.
The biography offers details of Couture's life that have rarely been discussed. His father leaving him at an early age, why his mother threw him and his siblings into sports, the first time he saw MMA (with a familiar face in Don Frye), his legendary trilogy of fights with Chuck Liddell, meeting his new wife Kim, and his return to MMA to fight Tim Sylvia -- it's all included.
The UFC pulled all of its photos and fight footage -- and an interview with Dana White -- from the episode, so a lot of the "B-roll" is of IFL, EliteXC and Art of War events.

Cristiane Cyborg Santos
Cristiane Cyborg Santos Vs Shayna Baszler
Cristiane Santos helped kick off Saturday's EliteXC fights with their Showtime portion of the event and while Gina Carano may be the face of women's MMA Christina is the new kid on the block and pounding her way to a shot against Carano.
Carano has already proven herself a marketing success. Santos emerges as a force in the women's division delivering a type of aggression not seen in the woman's division, a bout with Carano would seem to be imminent.
