Randy Couture Begins Work On "The Expendables"

On Tuesday, UFC hall of famer and former heavyweight champ Randy Couture had his first day on the set of "The Expendables," the Sylvester Stallone-helmed action movie due out next April.

Couture plays a mercenary along with Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren.

Couture's work is expected to last into early June, after which he will begin preparations to meet Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102 in August.

On a side note, Stallone has now given roles to Nogueira brothers Rodrigo and Rogerio in addition to some of their academy teammates. MMAInsider's source tells us they're playing "bad guys."

Sherdog.com's new blog reported Stallone palling around with the fighters on set last week.
