Randy Couture isn't officially done with fighting just yet, but he continues to move away from the sport in the direction of his next profession.

Couture recently revealed his plans for a couple of upcoming movie roles on a radio show in Las Vegas, "The Dave and Mahoney Morning Show" on X-107.5 FM, and his schedule will be booked through mid 2011 at least.

Next on the docket for the UFC Hall of Famer is a small part in the action film "Setup," which will star Bruce Willis and 50 Cent. He will begin filming next month, and filming goes into 2011.

After that role, Couture expects filming to begin in March for "The Expendables 2," the sequel to this summer's smash hit ensemble action film in which Couture took part.

He refuses to rule out a return to the cage, saying instead that if the UFC presents him with an interesting fight it will be hard for him not to take the fight. But, that won't happen until late in 2011, if at all, it appears.

Penick's Analysis: I think it's looking more and more likely that we've seen the last of Randy Couture in the Octagon. He's 47 years old, and although he's continued to compete at a high level over the last few years, it's not something that's going to come easier to him over the next few years. If it's the right opponent at the right time and Couture feels he can take the fight, he will, but I think he'll have more options open to him in the action movie genre, and it's clearly something he's highly interested in. If we don't see him again, we've at least gotten a long and amazing career out of him as fans that has left us all with great memories of "Captain America."
