Randy Couture is a mutant!!!

 If  you have the slightest interest in the martial arts you probably know what a mixed martial artist is. MMA is a sport which requires its athletes to master or be competant in all aspects of hand to hand combat, which in my opinion is the legacy of the one and only Bruce Lee. since it's infancy in the states since the 80`s four distinct styles have proven to be the most effective, Brazilian Jujitsu, wrestling {Grecko}, Mua Tai & boxing {western/eastern}.

           Last night i was watching a scientific documentary comparing mixed martial artist to pure disciplined fighters and as any MMA spectator might guess their strikes were considerably stronger than the pure boxers or martial artist, this is not what blew my mind. What made my brain melt was a study they did with randy couture where they took a lactic acid sample while he was in a resting state, then took one after he administered a choke hold at full strength for one minute. His lactic acid reading at rest was 5.3, after the minute strain instead of building up his lactic acid level dropped to 4.2, which the scientist beleived was humanly impossible!

             i would theorize that the rest sample was tainted due to him standing and therefore engaging his legs, the biggest muscles on the human physique but the fact that their expertise did not grant them the same reasoning might disprove that.
