It is strongly rumored that Randy Couture will return to the octagon in the main event at UFC 105 opposite Brandon Vera in a light heavyweight showdown. After weeks of scrambling for main events and coming up short, the UFC turned to Couture, who was willing to fight the best fighter they could find at 205 pounds.

The UFC originally approached Couture with a bout against Rashad Evans, and Couture accepted, but Evans turned the fight down. Couture is one of the biggest names to ever appear on a UFC Spike TV show.

The rumor was confirmed by reliable sources close to a number of parties early Sunday morning.

LOL at Rashad ducking Couture.

This is actually a really good fight and at the talent level that Randy needs. Vera has the tools to beat Randy, for sure. Now let's see if he can use his superior speed and reach to keep distance.

I'm more interested to see what Vera can do off of his back with Randy on top of him.

He has no chance unless he gets/stays up. If Nog couldn't sub him, Vera won't. Very is a solid wrestler remember. Nowhere in Randy's realm, but Randy is old now and it's catching up to him.

vera could win if he could stay standing and keep some distance but I don't think he will be able to, randy be decision or late stoppage

Vera by TKO. Couture's chin is gone and Vera is quick-shit on his feet.

Couture's chin is pretty weak now. I'd go with Vera by tko.

It doesnt matter that vera should win, that he has the tools. Hes got no killer instinct left and fights not to lose. Couture will push his shit in an pwnt him out of the ufc

Very is a very good fighter, but he'll get dominated by Randy in the clinch and on the ground. And why in the hell should Rashad fight Randy? Nothing to gain for him and everything to lose for him, imo.

bobby boucher

09-13-2009, 02:21 PM

Randy puts on good fights at any weight class and always comes to fight win or lose. It'll be nice to see him push Very one step closer to his release date.

losing to vera is like the lowest of the low

SatNav

09-13-2009, 03:20 PM

I'm not really impressed with Vera. He looks like the shit when he is fighting cans, but as soon as he fights someone with skills, he's just shit.

I think Randy takes this.

SatNav

09-13-2009, 03:21 PM

Ducking Rashad and Machida is the lowest of the low imo

Diego/Stevenson?

Mr. Dead Sexy

09-13-2009, 07:19 PM

I take that back, this isn't a PPV card. It's a Brit can card. Just like Diego/Stevenson was.

I wonder how many times they can go back to Europe with the same shitty fighters fighting.

LOL at Rashad ducking Couture.

Rashad made the smart choice, fighting Randy leaves him with nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

Beating Couture doesn't elevate Rashad closer to a title shot and losing to him would be devastating.

Vera has the tools but maybe not the heart. Since he's a Lloyd Irvin guy I will be rooting for him.

Losing to both Timmy and Jardine should automatically disqualify you from any title shot ever.

if couture wins, i can see the ufc giving him a title shot though, he practically gets title shots handed to him

they gave shogun an undeserved title shot.

rampage is ducking everyone

can't give one to rashad right now cuz he got the shit kicked out of him

same with silva

so that basically leaves the winner of tito/coleman and vera/couture as next in line

They will probably give it to Canderson and pay Machida off to take a dive.
