Well, that's friggin awesome then. Couture is one of my favorite fighters.

HW class needs more great fighters, though.

What happend to Nog? did he leave the UFC?

*edit* Nevermind i found my answer to that question....

“The winner of the Brock/Randy fight will be the heavyweight champion of the UFC. Obviously, the reality show is already in motion and they are already scheduled to fight, so Nogueira and Mir will fight for the interim (championship) and then it will be champion versus champion when this thing is all done. So it’s a pretty interesting little tournament,” commented White as he clarified the UFC heavyweight title picture.

fucking disgusting that they're giving it to brock. Completely undeserved. If they cant book nog for randy, then it should have been the next contender in line (werdum)

Brock walked into the ufc (1-0 record lol) what did you expect? The ufc is becoming a corrupt show...

They dont care about having the best real fighters in the world anymore...they would rather have names for PVP buys.

They're going to make tens of millions of dollars off this, which is the bottom line. Not only this, but they're marketing to a much broader audience. The diehard MMA fans will always watch, but this kind of fight appeals to the casual sports fan more because Lesnar is known, and the element of Couture's return adds to the build up as well.

well, I know UFC's biggest ppv event ever was "Liddell vs. Ortiz II". I think UFC earned around $50 million. (PPV's & Live gate revenue)

It'll be difficult to top that.

Well he's big and powerful....he lacks skills bigtime but his overall size and strength is impressive. Heath herring looked terrible against him.

Brock smashed Herring who is highly rated...( I do agree Brock doesn't deserve a title shot) I thought it was worse that Mir got a shot at the interim after winning 1 fight out of all his comeback fights.

Jim Ross comments about the upcoming Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture fight in his latest blog entry. J.R. writes: Couture will give up approximately 50 pounds to Lesnar come fight time which makes the 5 rounder especially intriguing. Couture is a master at capitalizing on a fighter's mistakes and is a supreme strategist. However, if Lesnar continues to improve as he did between the Mir and Herring fights it will be extremely difficult for anyone who is giving up that much weight and is over a decade older to defeat the former WWE and NCAA wrestling champion.
