The Professional Fighters League announced Tuesday that the first
installment of its four-part documentary series entitled “The Randy
Couture Story” will debut Saturday on ESPN at 2:30 p.m. ET.
The series will highlight the career of UFC champion and Hall of
Famer Randy
Couture, including his fighting career, Hollywood exploits and
his commentary duties with PFL. According to a release, all four
episodes of the documentary will be available on demand via ESPN+
following the conclusion of the premiere.
“It’s an awesome feeling to have my own documentary series
chronicling my journey as an MMA athlete and everything I’ve done
outside of the cage,” Couture said. “The PFL is a global
fighter-first organization and I wholeheartedly believe in the
format and everything they are doing as a leader in the sport. I’ve
been through so much in my life and I know how hard the PFL team
has worked on this series. I can’t wait to watch it — it’s going to
be special.”
The documentary will include appearances from the likes of Chuck
Liddell, Chris Pratt, Jay Glazer
and “Big” John McCarthy.
“It was a privilege for PFL Studios to produce ‘The Randy
Couture Story.’ He is an MMA legend, a true champion and an
incredible person who inspired so many, as viewers of this series
on ESPN will see,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray. “Randy defined the
sport of MMA, and we are proud to have him as part of the PFL
family.”
