So its UFC 94 already ? wow , no wonder they lose matchups due to injury . They book these events about 6 months premature ….. long time inbetween for things to go wrong
well…that’s actually 4 months from now…but that fight was mentioned much sooner than now for that date.
see i knew penn vs gsp was in january, people on here were getting all pisssed off and saying it wasn’t on, i cant wait to watch penn tko gsp its guna be sweet, also hard first match for dan i dont see him beating matt
he’ll lose in the first round by submission…not experienced enough
..doesnt really matter anyways ,I’m not going to pay to see lesnar vs couture .Mr has-been vs Mr entertainment .not only is the main event boring the rest of the card is weak . i’d rather wait for ufc 93 .Not knocking the UFC but they can do waaaaaaaaaay better than this offering .
@ UCARES?
YOUR KIDDING RIGHT? I BET YOU WERE WANTING TO WATCH BIMBO VS KEN HUH?
HOW CAN YOU NOT WATCH COUTURE. WHY DO YOU THINK HES WASHED UP. WHAT HAS HE DONE. BECAUSE HE HASN’T FOUGHT IN A YEAR? THAT HAS TO BE IT CUZ HIS LAST TWO PERFORMANCE ARE TWO OF THE BEST FIGHTS IN UFC… YOU GOTTA BE AN IDIOT…
ON ANOTHER NOTE…
WHY DO THEY KEEP BRINGING MATT ARROYO BACK AFTER HE B1TCHED OUT ON TUF. AND EVERY TIME HE FIGHTS HE LOSES… I THINK DAN CAN DO IT… ITS ACTUAULLY AN INTERESTING FIGHT…
couture is over the hill bud ………… he will probably beat lesnar but who cares ? just look at his pic they got for the fight and it looks like a face shot of someones grandpa .hes been out of action for a year granted , but it was to be his final year on top. wonder what would happen to couture/lesnar if they fought overeem ? I’ll tell ya ……. overeem ko’s couture and Lesnar .i wouldnt be betting on couture , watching couture , or even worry about couture .HE’s DONE
I can see it now, your boy Overeem just punnishing their junk. There is no doubt Lesnar would destroy Kimbo any day of the week. Why the hate for the UFC? They put the best matchups there are in MMA.
its not a hate on the UFC by any means timcat . have you looked at the card ? its a bunch of crap !! I cant see how you can look at that and say “thats the best show going ” .Its probably one of the worst UFC cards they ever did .
Ucares,
Stevenson and Florian is a great match. I personally would NOT mind that as a main event. That fight is to see who gets the title shot at LW. Lesnar/Couture sets up a title match at HW. This is a very interesting and important event. Amir is making his PPV main card debut which is a special moment for him and us to watch a fighter step up and test his skills after winning TUF. You are not giving this card a chance or enough credit. Give the fighters the chance to fight and impress you before you get mad. It’s like the England fight cards……they get bashed to the depths of hell and turn out great. Get mad after the fact not before. I see where you are coming from in a way but feel you are overlooking some of the detail.
I’ve been to the depths of hell. I’ve been to the bullpen.

ucares, the only thing overeem does to couture and lesnar is get disqualified for kneeing them in the balls….couture would gnp overeem and lesnar would lnp him to a decsion….are you one of those guys that only likes pride and hates the ufc?….and another things it doesnt matter what you look like if you can fight then your good..and guess what couture can beat just about anyone the fact that you even called couture over the hill is stupid…plain stupid
Gunslinger,
Agreed. I am guilty of calling Couture old….he sorta is…..but that doesn’t have shat to do with his skills. His latest performances have been dandy. We need to let him fight before we judge him and call him over the hill. Besides…..he’s Randy. How the F do you hate on Randy F-’n Couture?
Kris,
I read that Mark Oldman Coleman was fighting Shogun on the Serra/Hughes card. On the rumors page it says Liddell/Shogun. I prefer Liddell/Shogun but is there any truth to Coleman/Shogun. Coleman did want a piece of Brock at HW. What’s really going on?
KOuch,
Kris posted here that it is Shogun/Coleman, after reporting on another page that it was rumored to be Shogun/Liddell. My guess is he probably just needs to update the Rumors page.
Sorry guys , but couture vs lesnar doesnt equal a title shot ….werdum vs couture is a title shot match or ,if it could have happened first instead of the TUF thing, a werdum vs mir.You cant give a 2-1 new guy a shot ahead of werdum .Just not Lesnar vs Couture , if lesnar wins its because couture was old , and if couture wins quick by submission lesnar looks like a kimbo. Its too big of a downside for either guy .
So we’ve established that ucares? is going to hate on this fight no matter what. I think this is a big upside for either fighter. If Lesnar wins its because he out wrestled the wrestler (or KOed him), and because he weighs 55 lbs more than Randy. If Randy wins he shows that it doesn’t really matter how big his opponent is, he can still win. Not to mention, whoever wins is the UFC heavy weight champion. The only lose in this is that the winner will probably have to face big Nog after he beats Mir in December. If you want to whine and cry because Werdum didn’t get a title shot, go right ahead but consider this. He’ll likely be next once the tournament is over and will only have to win one fight instead of two to be “undisputed UFC Champion”. If I was him I’d rather only have to beat one person, rather than having to beat Randy and (likely) big Nog(who I’ve lost to before).
Thanks to KOuch for pointing that out and to Justin for linking up our report. I updated the UFC 93 rumors page and will be going through all the rumors today and syncing them up.
Justin,
You fight? You fought Nog? Or are you referring to Werdum’s thought process?
KOuch,
I was referring to Werdum’s thought process. After I posted that I figured someone would say something about that. I like to think I want to fight, then I realize I really don’t want to get hit in the face for a living.
wow i cant belive ucares? is not looking forward to randy vs lesnar, im shocked! this fight is guna prove if 1; randy an fedor should still happen,2; if randy gets beat, will it be the last time we see him, 3; the ufc heavyweight championship 4; is lesnar the real deal or did he just get a lucky punch on herring 5; the start of lesnar being a massive force in mma/ufc or 6; randy beating this jokers ass and sending a message to all the heavyweights in the ufc that he’s here to stay. im pumped about this fight and it make me think ucares? is just trying to become the new slickkid or if he is slickkid?? (or whatever that guy wa called)
..wow ……… you guys are dreaming . And no Im not slikkid . I just dont think this is a good card . IMO.And the odds of something being cancelled is evident due to the last few cards . So that potentially makes this card even worse . Worse in the sense that why pay the $$ when its on TV a month later .
Johnboy .Randy isnt here to stay .HAHAHA . He’s in his last few fights .do you want him to be fighting at 50 ?
this topic is couture lesnar or arroyo cramer?
Matt is going to kill Cramer I know because I train with him and trust me he is getting ready!!! Matt is a future UFC champ!!!

First off he didn’t “**** out.” He was injured and felt(wisely so)that if he fought injured he would not be able to fight in the finale–in which he did fight and won. As for your other comment that he loses everytime he fights…look at the record! He’s 3-2.
