Randy Couture!

At nearly 48 years old, Randy Couture is a Mixed Martial Arts legend. Sadly, his world renowned career will be coming to an end on April 30, 2011 in Toronto, at the biggest UFC event ever produced. In front of a sold out crowd of 55,000 fans, Couture will be taking on Lyoto Machida, who is 15 years younger and may be the most versatile and talented opponent the five-time former UFC champ has ever faced. For those unfamiliar with MMA or the UFC, mixed martial arts is the fastest growing sport in the world! Whether or not you’re an MMA fan, Couture is an inspiring athlete!

After restructuring, modifying, and streamlining their businesses, employees are at the peak of productivity. This is forcing companies to hire, even with their worries about rising costs and other economic obstacles.
