Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera Rumored for UFC 105 Main Event

Couture FTW
and btw ppl who post first comments are the real winners, CP dont be hating

Randy by ground and pound round 1!!!!!!!!
Remember this and I want a god damn t-shirt when Randy wins

Yeah if anyone pushes the pace it will be couture in this fight, vera has looked tentative in his last few performances. Vera seems to struggle finding his range as well, not nearly as many leg kicks as he used to throw either. I think if vera hesitates with his striking distance he's going to learn that couture's dirty boxing is vastly superior to his own mediocre muay thai. couture will just wear him down.

couture at the end of the second round.

vera's best shot is confidently strike and out range couture. but this has been vera's best shot against every fighter, so, yeah, you've seen his last few fights. atleast couture will engage him and take him down.

Well, not always. But I agree there has been more than a few less than amazing matchups in the last little while. This fight is just sort of off it seems. If couture beats vera, no one really cares, it shows maybe he can fight at 205 a little better than people remember, but beating vera is no accomplishment untul vera has put in a few back to back dominating performances. And THAT has not happened in quite some time.

If vera wins, he beats an old man with an increasingly suspect chin who cut a solid amount of weight. Woo hoo.

it does seem sort of pointless in my opinion unless one of them turns in a really amazing performance. and i'd put my money on couture.

I guess this saves CP the embarassment of moving Randy out of the number 10 spot at HW, behind Jeff Monson, who got his shit tossed last night (again) by Pedro Rizzo. Looking forward to seeing Rizzo in CP's next set of WTF-inducing top 10 rankings.

After hearing talk of a Silva coture fight this is kinda a let down, plus coture deserves better than vera.

I'll go the other way and say that while Vera doesn't interest me in the least, I'll enjoy seeing Randy again so soon. He's not the juggernaut he used to be, but he's still hanging pretty good with the new crop. I don't think he has a long string of fights left in his career - win or lose - so to be able to see him again in a couple months is great. If they wait to finally work out some bullshit "superfight", he could be waiting for months or well into next year. Good on him for getting right back in there and not being an elitist asshole like Silva. He's a legend and he's not going to be disregarded for winning or losing at the level he's currently fighting.

And Vera's a great fighter, too... you just have to hope the old Vera shows up that day and takes it seriously. That's not where I'll be laying my money, though.

careful Bens, mmamania is saying this report is coming from your fave journalistic production "The S*n"

@Soda

I don't know how to take your comment, because I personally would love to see Matt Hamill do karoake. I would suggest Joan Jett's "Don't You Wanna Touch Me" as his opener.

Is there not enough talent in the UFC that they have to keep resorting to Randy Courture?

Goog.... yup.... you're right... good on Randy for just being a fighter... still fights anyone anytime.

We seem to have some consensus on the enjoyability of watching Matt Hamill sing karaoke, so it makes comparing Couture v. Vera to it less helpful. That's like me saying "getting a tag team blowjob from two hot babes > Couture v. Vera," it just doesn't tell you anything about what I think about the second event, which could still be awesome, just not as awesome as the first.

Hamill singing "Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto" is my vote.

Also, whoever wins this just knocks their opponents' value down without significantly raising their own. It's a net loss for the 205 div. For THAT reason this is a crappy fight imo.
