Couture Vs Lesnar
The big rumour doing the rounds is that former pro wrestler turned MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Brock Lesnar and former five time UFC champion Randy Couture are in serious negotiations to fight in November.
This is huge news to any fan of MMA!!
Couture quit as UFC heavyweight champion last year, Sonny Bill Williams style, and walked out on a contract with two fights left on it. Since then it has been a legal bitch slap-a-thon with Couture sooking about not getting enough money and the UFC wondering why the sudden change of heart after signing a contract. Couture also wants to fight Russian champion Fedor Emelianenko (undefeated since 2000) who the UFC have had no success signing.
In the mean time the UFC has signed MMA newcomer Brock Lesnar who has attracted huge interest due to his following from his pro wrestling days where he had previously achieved the title of WWE Champion. Yes I know that a WWE champion doesn’t hold much stock in the world of ‘real’ fighting but it does hold stock with millions of pro wrestling fans around the world. This coupled with the fact the Lesnar totally dominated his much more experienced, credentialed and respected opponent Heath Herring at UFC87 leads me to believe that Randy is warming to a UFC return.
With the two fights that Couture still has left on his contract he may be trying to convince the UFC to let him out of this contract if he is willing to fight Lesnar in one last UFC fight. This would be a huge numbers PPV and could possibly break all previous PPV records, giving Couture and the UFC a huge pay day and allowing him to pursue Emelianenko in any organization.
Either way, at 45 years of age Couture had better start considering negotiation rather than legal options soon, father time waits for no one.

Whoops thanks for that, I think I coppied it from somewhere that spelt it that way. It amazes me I got Fedor’s name right and Randy’s wrong, for shame.

How good can this guy be if he is 45 for goodness sake. I have heard of him but never seen him fight but his record sounds impressive.
I hope the lawyers can stay out of the way and this fight can happen. Sounds like it will be pretty awsome.
Courture sounds like a big sook who got beaten up one too many times at school and cries when his Dad isn’t around. I’ll bet he works in a take away chicken shop too.
I hope he gets hit by a bowl of custard thrown from the crowd.
If it goes ahead, pencil me in for a blurravision day at your place Shirvy.
SJ, you are a fat violence loving loser! I have warned you before about posting topics that appeal to only about 2 of the scum who visit this site. You will continue to alienate the more intelligent share of your audience if you do not heed my warnings.
Boring, you are an ageist hypocrytical imbecile! Do you want me to dredge up your past comments where you indicated a disgust & disinterest for these UFC things? Now you profess to having knowledge of the individual fighters! Come clean you idiot! Stop being a follower. Show some leadership or strength of conviction.
Megabevan, as usual a violent or racist topic has dragged you into the fray again. By the way this site is not your personal message service to “Shirvy!” Use the site properly or be barred in future!
I have started to follow the happenings in the MMA world since learning about it here and this fight seems to good to be true. With the whole legal battle you touch on there seems to be so much happening behind the scenes I just don’t think it can happen.
If this were a boxing match being talked up then there would be zero chance.
Hang on a second. Don’t tell me you’re a fan now too Jethro?? First SJ converted Realbiggutz. Then Megaman jumped onboard. This morning I see that our Boring friend has become a follower. Now he’s got to you too!!
SJ, I have a protest to lodge……if you’re not careful, this site will become known for introducing people to new experiences and opening their minds to topics they haven’t been exposed to before.
I am outraged at the thought of being associated with a site that encourages such a disgraceful concept.
PS. Rob B, I don’t think age has anything to do with a person’s ability to pretend to fight.
IASM, You obviously read your own comments only. I have been a fan of this sport for some time and will even purchase the next event on the Authors advice.
I wish you all the best with your future endevours look forward to not reading your dribble anymore.
iamadipshit.com how are you going to BAR anybody?
if you don’t like the topic don’t read it why don’t you just stick to another site where you are in the company you prefer, stop your endless bitching. You are worse than the kids in my van park.
You should put your money and time into more noble pursuits than reading this site. I am sure a man of your standing would be very welcome at the homeless shelter and you might just be able to make a difference in someones life….something you have never achieved on this site.
Woodless, I could “BAR” your wife like everyone else does.
I disgree with you with respect to making a difference here. I know that I have definitely opened the eyes of a number of bevans. That’s a start.
your wrong dipshit we close them as we laugh at you
Maybe you should try opening your own eyes Squintsy McSlits!
Racist Realbiggutz! How about I open a can of woop ass on you!
What with? Your ballerina kung fu? NIFF!!!
