Just announced to fight in Vegas. The article says for UFC 91 but that was supposed to be in Portland. Looks like Portland will have to wait for UFC. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/mma/09/02/couture.fedor/index.html?eref=T1
Dammit, you just beat me to posting it! http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=14272 So yeah, I know what I'll be doing on Saturday night, 11/15... Super Bowl Weekend is a bit early for the winner to fight the winner of Nog/Mir. Maybe on the March PPV?
UFC 91 is also when they are hoping to bring Rampage back to fight. We'll see if that still happens but this event is going to be huge.
So what happens to Antonio Rodrigo ''Minotauro'' Nogueira or Frank Mir??? This deal discredits the UFC. Bring back Pride FC. Oh wait, the UFC bought them out & sent them shipping. Weak sauce. Totally weak
Nogueira is still the Interim Heavyweight Champ and the winner of his match against Mir in December totally has the right to claim to be the real UFC HW Champion and gets the winner of Couture/Lesnar in big-money title unification match. I'm looking forward to all three fights, personally.
This is all good news, except for allowing Couture to retain his title after a year without defending it. That's stupid.
i hope Couture wins, just to make fedor get in to the UFC and clean the HW division there, ill love to see Dana making escuses for every single one of his HWs.
