Ryan Couture’s quest for a title shot begins at Bellator 148

Las Vegas-based MMA fighter Ryan Couture (10-3) has won four straight contests and is confident he can keep the wins coming. Ahead of him next is Patricky Freire, a man who appears to be one of his toughest challenges to date. Training out of Xtreme Couture, the 33-year-old believes he’s in peak condition and ready to take on all adversaries. 
 
The son of UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division UFC champion Randy Couture, Ryan hopes he too can achieve some of the greatness his father had. Should he come away victorious at Bellator 148 on Jan. 29, he thinks a title shot could be in his near future.
