    Ok, this one is odd. Supposedly Randy Couture wants to fight again ASAP and negotiations between the UFC, Randy Couture, and Brandon Vera are ongoing. It could be the main event for UFC 105 in Manchester. The bout would be contested at light heavyweight.

    Uh...

    I don't think people will be too interested with this.

    I've been wondering lately if I'm the only one who doesn't give a shit about Couture fights. Any card where hes in the main event I really am not very interested in at all. I know hes still good, I get that hes a legend and a fan favorite, but he just doesn't get it done for me.

    Lame.

    Cane/Lil Nog is much better.

    As long as they broadcast both that's fine.

    If they get them both on 105, a free card, I'll be happy.

    Actually, Vera/Couture isn't bad for a free card.

    same. i can understand the praises he gets for being old and still able to perform the way he does.. but sometimes i think they overdo it.

    i would've liked it more if he stayed retired.

    This could be the electroshock therapy that Brandon Vera needs to get back into the mindset he had a few years ago when he was knocking fuckers out.

    For a freebie it's not a bad card. Plenty of fights I'd like to see on it. Too bad Spike will kill us with commercials and we'll probably only get to see five or six of them.
