UFC 91

The teaser on this one form the UFC website pretty much is dead on the money
"It's the biggest fight in mixed martial arts history! 3-time UFC® Heavyweight Champ Randy "The Natural" Couture returns to the Octagon™ and puts his title on the line against the biggest opponent of his career, wrestling powerhouse Brock Lesnar. Can the legend prevail? Or will a new hero rise? "
I like Randy in this one, due to his experience. It has the makings of a great fight and could determine the outcome of the Heavyweight/ Interim Heavyweight Belt "tourney" thats pitting Mir/Nogueria as well. I see this one going to the ground early on, Randy using the ring (like he does superbly) and ending either 2nd or 3rd round. No one has tested Lesnar's chin, and I don't think Randy will stand in the middle of the ring and trade punches. I can see him using the cage and "dirty boxing". Win or lose we are in store for a great fight saturday!!
