George Foreman: 'I Love the UFC. I Love It'

Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman is not one of those boxing guys who attack UFC and make themselves look like horse-and-buggy manufacturers insisting that the motorcar is a passing fad. In fact, Foreman had this to say in an interview with Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports:
"I love the UFC. I love it," Foreman said. "If they had had that back when I was coming up, in 1966, it would have been my sport. Man, I love it. And you know what? Nobody would have pulled the rope-a-dope on me."
Foreman thinks highly of the 44-year-old UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, who's defending his title a week from today at UFC 74. But Couture would have to hold his belt for a couple more years to match Foreman's longevity.
