Coture Back in the UFC!
Permalink Closed


You read that correctly Randy "Throws his toys out of the cot" Coture has signed a new 3 fight contract with the UFC.  At a press conference later today the UFC is expected to announce the return of "The Natural" and that he will face none other than BROCK LESNAR at UFC 91.  Then it is mooted that he will then move on to face Fedor Elmeianko in Jan/Feb!!

This is presumably because like many other MMA organisations at the moment they are on the brink of shutting up shop.  So I assume Randy's, run home with his tail between his legs and it seems even Fedor is looking to play ball with the UFC now too.

Should be an intresting few weeks for the UFC.....

It's now Official Cap'n AMerica is back in the UFC. The frightnening part is that at UFC 91 Brock Lesnar faces the World Heavyweight Champion in a title fight!!!

From MMA Junkie.

After a very public split with the organization back in October, reigning UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture has agreed to return to the UFC, and he'll meet Brock Lesnar in a UFC 91 championship bout with Brock Lesnar.

UFC President Dana White today confirmed the news in a media conference call.

White also confirmed that UFC 91 will take place Nov. 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas -- not at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore., as first expected.

As part of Couture's return to competition, which includes a new multi-fight deal with the UFC, White confirmed that their ongoing legal battle has been resolved. Couture resigned from the organization in October citing a lack of respect from UFC executives, issues over his pay, and the UFC's inability to sign then-free agent Fedor Emelianenko.

"I think some compromises were made on both sides," Couture said.

"All I give a [expletive] about is that he's back and fighting," White said.

White also confirmed that the winner of an upcoming fight between interim heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Frank Mir will meet the Couture vs. Lesnar winner sometime in 2009 to unify the titles.

White didn't role out a potential Couture vs. Emelianenko fight -- one that Couture desparately wants -- but said the famed Russian fighter's contract situation could present problems. However, White admitted that he's "always wanted" Emelianenko in the UFC.

Ahh but do you think he will win? I think he has more than a good chance, and on his 3rd fight he would be the UFC HW champion... Madness. But then we have a decent prospect of Lesnar Mir II which would be great, but Lesnar Vs. Nog? Lesnar could be in trouble there.

As much as the nuthuggers complain, I think business in the UFC HW division has picked up finally and with the strong chance of Fedor joining in the fun in early 2009 i.e. after New Years things could seriously supernova in the next few months for the UFC and MMA in general.
