E484 - Built Different: Wrestling, Work Ethic & the Couture Code

This Life Ain't For Everybody

He’s a Hall of Famer, a legend in the cage, and one of the most respected minds in combat sports history—Randy Couture is in the building. In this episode, Chad sits down with the former UFC champion and wrestling icon to talk all things grit, growth, and greatness. From today’s rising college wrestlers to who Randy believes has what it takes to wear the belt next, nothing’s off the table. They get real about how far the sport has come, and where it’s going. What’s the blueprint now? Wrestling might be the base, but what other skill sets separate the contenders from the champs in 2025? The guys dive into training, toughness, injuries, and why some athletes today might be going soft. Randy’s career was built on outworking everyone in the room and staying locked in. You’ll hear how that mindset shaped his success and how he still applies it today. This one’s thought-provoking, inspiring, and packed with lessons from a man who’s been through the fire and came out sharper than ever… Don’t miss it!
