The MMA world saw Christmas come a little early this week. As Dana White announced earlier this week in a conference call that UFC hall-of-famer, Randy Couture, would be returning to the octagon.The news came as a surprise to most, because Couture has been entrenched in a no-holds-barred legal cage match with UFC parent company, Zuffa. Brock Lesnar has been named as Couture’s opponent in his returning fight. Needless to say that Couture will have his hands full with the mammoth Minnesotan this November.
Couture’s new deal is for three fights which may include a unification bout with Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera, provided the Natural can get past Lesnar. There are also rumors that the UFC will try to make the Fedor fight happen. However, I’m not holding my breath.
It will be great to see Couture fight again, but I think the Lesnar fight is a bad way to dust off the ring rust after a yearlong layoff. I guess we’ll find out come November. Until then, best of luck Randy, you’re going to need it.
