The rumor has become a reality. On November 15th at The Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Randy “The Natural” Couture will make his return to the UFC against the formidable Brock Lesnar. This fight will be for the heavyweight title. The winner will face the winner of the Frank Mir- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira match to unify the heavyweight belt. This card was originally scheduled to take place in Portland, Oregon but has been now changed to Las Vegas. Also appearing at UFC 91 will be a match-up of arguably the top two contenders in the lightweight division: Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson. Gabriel Gonzaga will be taking on a UFC newcomer in Josh Hendricks. Hendricks is 14-4 with 1 no-contest; he’s riding an 8-fight win streak with his 1 no-contest in the middle. With a victory, Gonzaga looks to get back in the hunt for the title.
So with the return of Couture, the inevitable acquisition of Fedor Emelianenko and rising stars like Cain Velasquez, Shane Carwin, Brock Lesner along with Fabricio Werdum, Gonzaga, Mir and Nogueira the heavyweight division just got a lot more interesting.
