Less than two weeks and the mma weekly team will all go the biggest fight in UFC history, the Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar face-off.  And don’t you start grumbling about not having the Couture vs. Fedor fight.  It’s a dream fight alright, but Fedor still has to settle contract matters with Affliction.  And, if Dana White is to be believed, it won’t be long now.  White said, “I would be horrified if Affliction was still in business by January.”  That settles it then.

Now back to the Couture vs. Lesnar dream fight.

It’s going to be held on November 15, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.  That’s less than 3 weeks before the biggest boxing event featuring boxing legends Oscar de la Hoya and people’s champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.  Another event that’s sure to burn a hole in my pocket!

OK, back to the Couture vs. Lesnar dream fight.  This time…really!

Dana “it’s good to be” White is rubbing his palms now as he counts millions, “The thing is going to do over a million pay per view buys” as fans would jockey for the best view of the 5-found UFC heavyweight championship.  The eventual winner will take on the winner of the Frank Mir vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogeira tiff which is also expected to be a great bout.  Sorry dudes, no matchup with Fedor yet.

The Mir-Nogueira fight is for the UFC Interim Heavyweight championship which will be held in December.  If we get lucky, we may have the Couture-Fedor dream fight early next year—that is, if Couture doesn’t suddenly decide to succumb to old age.

We can never tell.  He may get some heavy beating from the largely larger foe in Lesnar who 13 years younger,  and  is 40 lbs bigger than Couture’s 224 lbs when he goes inside the octagon less than two weeks from now.

However, “The Natural,” who has been away for quite some time, was actually busy retooling his game.  Remember  March 2007?  When people said he just couldn’t make a win happen with someone as big as Tim Sylvia, and he proved everyone wrong?  Today, the same story is being rehashed, but with a different character.  This time, it is with a much younger, more formidable-looking phenomenon called Brock Lesnar.

“The Natural” has actually been very busy sharpening his skills.  He has been simulating his fight with Brock Lesnar,, “I brought Josh Hendricks in:  He’s actually fighting on the same card against Gabe Gonzaga…He’s a 245-pound guy with a wrestling background…. I’ve got guys like Mike Whitehead and a bunch of other guys that walk around 240, 250 with good, solid wrestling backgrounds… We’ve got a good crew.  They’re pushing me and ganging up on me.  It’s hard to find guys like Brock that are that size and move the way he moves.”

Now, this is going to be exciting.
