UFC 91 Card and Poster

I don’t know what Randy Couture thinks he has to prove by fighting Brock Lesnar or if the UFC is trying to cash in on such a fight before the years end? I thought this was an odd, "Throw a vet at a rookie" type match that could go one sided…either way. You look at the fighter profiles.

You have Randy Couture:  A veteran octagon fighter since UFC 13, with 15 win and 8 loses. 6′ 2" tall and 220 pounds. He’s held the UFC heavyweight championship 3 times and the Light-Heavyweight championship twice.

Then You Have Brock Lesnar: A rookie MMA fighter who made his debut into the MMA in June of 2007 with his first win in his first professional fight. He went on to lose his first fight in the UFC against Frank Mir earlier this year. However he made an impressive win by decision over Heath Herring (Who has over 40 fights under his belt) back in August. Lesnar weighs in 45 lbs more than Couture and an inch in height.

So you have a literal newby who most think might not have a chance, unless by dominating Couture with his size. And you have Couture who has fought much bigger fighters than himself with more experience than Lesnar. Like I said though. This could go either way and I would want to bet on Couture but something tells me that it might not be that easy if Lesnar has been training right. You can catch UFC 91 live on PPV November 15th.
