Couture vs. Lesnar
I have mixed feelings about Couture back with the UFC just because at least with Affliction a fight with Emelianenko would be more likely than in the UFC. Dana White has said several times no matter how much they offer Fedor it never seems to be enough, and this seems like it might be a little early to make any announcements as far as Fedor goes.
Couture vs. Lesnar for HW belt
Mir vs. Nogueira will be for the Interim belt
Winners of these matches will fight to unify the belt.
UFC President Dana White today announced during a media conference call that UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture will fight Brock Lesnar in a five-round championship bout on November 15th at UFC 91 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Thoughts?White says UFC will offer Emelianenko a “fair deal”. Says contract of Emelianenko with Affliction another “obstacle” to Couture-Emelianenko happening.
