Couture Returns To UFC To Fight Lesnar

In a stunning turn of events, the living MMA legend, Randy Couture has returned to the ranaks of the UFC talent roster and will match up with up-and-coming star, Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 on November 15th. Obviously this is huge news for the sport and will offer a tremendous battle between an all-time great and one of the most fearsome new fighters in the sport. After a lengthy layoff which saw Couture try to gain his freedom from an exclusive UFC contract, the question will be does he still have what it takes to compete at the highest levels of the game? In Lesnar, Couture faces a bigger, stronger, and younger fighter who may eveb be a more accomplished wrestler than him. No doubt, the hype for this one is going to be off the charts for what promises to be a most fascinating match-up.
