Randy Couture is the next MMA legend who will go “Dancing with the Stars.” The 51-year-old Couture, a UFC Hall of Famer and one of just two fighters to win titles in two divisions for the promotion, will appear on the upcoming 19th season of the ABC competition series. He is paired with Russian pro dancer Karina Smirnoff. Couture’s inclusion in the cast was announced on Thursday’s episode of “Good Morning America.” Couture told the show’s hosts that dancing in the ballroom likely will be harder on him than fighting was. “I think the dance floor is definitely going to be tougher,” Couture said. “I’ve been enjoying the training, and I’ve discovered some muscles I didn’t know I had.” His partner, Smirnoff, who in Season 13 guided J.R. Martinez to the coveted “Mirror Ball Trophy” with a title, said: “He is (tough), but he’s working very hard.” Couture is the second MMA fighter to be cast on the long-running show, which airs Monday nights on ABC starting Sept
