UFC 105: Couture vs Vera
The fight card, taking place on November 14 at the Manchester Evening News arena, in, well…Manchester, just got a whole lot more interesting. Word is that Randy Couture is set to take on Brandon Vera, in what has to be considered the main event.
Couture was last seen at UFC 102, losing a decision to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in a hard fought, instant-classic type battle. Vera was on the same card, defeating Krzystzof Soszynski by way of decision. After his loss, Couture hinted at another drop to the 205lb division, where he held the light heavyweight title. This bout could serve as the top condender for the division, as Rampage vs Evans fight will not happen until early next year at the earliest…Evans cannot be pleased.
This fight joins co-main event, Michael Bisping vs Denis Kang, and Dan Hardy vs Dong Hyun Kim in what is shaping up to be a decent card thus far.
