Can we just start building the shrine for Couture now?

COUTURE BREAKS ARM

Even Superman feels it from time to time.

Following yet another feather-in-his-cap performance Saturday at UFC 74 in Las Vegas, real life superhero Randy Couture (16-8), was informed Sunday by doctors that he?d broken his arm during his third round TKO stoppage of Gabriel Gonzaga (8-2).

Couture, 44, sustained the injury Saturday blocking a Gonzaga right high kick with his left forearm, cleanly separating the ulna bone with a ?nightstick fracture,? a break common in law enforcement circles. The injury placed the UFC heavyweight champion?s arm in a splint for six weeks. The appendage will not need a cast.

?It?s not displaced, so the doctors think it will reattach in about a week and a half,? said Couture, who embarks on a South African adventure to shoot a leading role in major motion picture ?The Scorpion King ? The Akkadian? in nearly six weeks. It is believed the injury will not effect Couture?s shooting schedule.
