Former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Randy Couture isn't committed to a return to active mixed martial arts competition, but says he recently received an offer from an organization.

Couture did not reveal which company made him an offer, but one could guess it was Bellator MMA, a top organization known to, as of late, sign retired MMA legends including Ken Shamrock, Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz, among others.

"I was approached when Fedor [Emelianenko] threw his hat back into the ring after a four, five year layoff," Couture told Inside MMA on Friday (transcript via MMAFighting.com). "I was the first one they came to. It's certainly something you have to consider and take seriously, but it's not really about money. I think one of the more rational decisions I've probably made in my life was the decision to step down and hang them up."

Couture, who last fought inside the UFC's Octagon in 2011 when he was stopped by current middleweight contender Lyoto Machida, is a former two-time UFC champion. He is also a UFC Hall of Famer and considered one of the greatest of all time.

Despite the serious offer, Couture still believes his better days are behind him at 52 years old.

"You want to be remembered as somebody that had integrity and that represented the sport in a positive way," Couture noted. "I think I accomplished that.

"I'm happy with how the fans seem to remember me and the ones that come up to me all the time and talk to me, want a picture. I'm very happy with how that's come out."
