I could go on and on dissecting the strengths and weaknesses between Brock and Randy. But you all know them already. Even the casual fan can easily tell that Brock, the freakish looking man-child, has superior size, strength, and perhaps even speed. Randy on the other hand is old but crafty, smaller but stronger, and has proved on several occasions that one probably shouldn’t bet against him when the odds aren’t in his favor.

So let’s get real for a second, it is damn near impossible to make a solid prediction with any certainty regarding Couture vs. Lesnar. The gambling lines are all over the place, and they will probably continue to fluctuate until the last minute. But I have to choose because that’s what judgmental people like me do, and I choose Lesnar.

Still reeling from EliteXC folding and a suspension from the CSAC for testing positive for steroids, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva could rebound quicker than originally imagined despite some obvious caveats.

It seems that Silva may opt to ignore his fighting suspension and contract situation en route to competing in Japan under the Sengoku banner.

In the third installment of Dana White’s UFC 91 video blog the UFC President heads to ESPN’s headquarters to promote Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar.

Lightweight Matt Grice will return to the UFC in early-2009, according to MMA Junkie.

Grice has not fought since defeating Jason Black via split decision in the “Fight of the Night” at UFC 77 in October 2007. After the win, Grice attended a local police academy and recently graduated from the program allowing him to return to the UFC.

The UFC has officially announced UFC 94: St-Pierre vs. Penn 2, which features the highly anticipated rematch between welterweight title-holder Georges St-Pierre and lightweight champion BJ Penn.

Now, nearly three years removed from their first meeting, the pair of top UFC fighters will meet again, but this time the welterweight championship will be on the line when they clash on January 31st in Las Vegas.

Riding on the heels of a highly publicized restraining order , the PR disaster known as Todd Beard continues to impress with his laundry list of skeletons falling out of the closet. The latest details about Beard’s “questionable” past deal with his jail time, elderly fraud scam, and of course, assaulting a pregnant ex-girlfriend, all of which might just result in the loss of sugar daddy backer Donald Trump.

“Denise Zullo, with whom Beard has a daughter, has alleged in court that Beard has struck, intimidated or threatened her and has received court protection from him in the past. In a December 31, 1997, request for a restraining order, Zullo testified that in the late summer of 1996, Beard punched her in the stomach while she was pregnant.”

Details are beginning to surface regarding the unexpected resignation last week of CSAC Executive Officer Armando Garcia.

“A female office technician, Lily Galvez, was observed “hand feeding” Armando and adjusting his attire at events, in the office, and in the field,” reads a report on 15rounds.com. “She also accompanied him on trips. In itself this is third party harassment because others in the office could question perceived favoritism because they chose not to fulfill his every whim. In any event, Lily Galvez filed suit charging sexual harassment.”

The UFC has cut middleweight Jason Lambert from its roster of fighters, according to Five Ounces of Pain.

Lambert won three-straight light heavyweight bouts over Rob MacDonald, Terry Martin, and Branden Lee Hinkle to open his UFC career but was forced to drop to the 185-pound middleweight division after losing three of his next four fights. In his middleweight debut at UFC 88 in September, Lambert was submitted in the second round by Jason MacDonald, marking his third-straight loss in the octagon.

Prior to his WEC 36 victory over middleweight title-holder Paulo Filho, Chael Sonnen revealed to Gracie Mag that his first opponent in the UFC will be middleweight champion Anderson Silva.

“Yes, it’s confirmed. Once I’m in the UFC I’ll fight Anderson Silva,” said Sonnen.

With just two fights remaining in the quarterfinals, one in each weight class, the final matchups are set and this week light heavyweights Krzysztof Soszynski and Kyle Kingsbury clash for the remaining spot in the semis.

Earlier in the season Soszynski injured his hand in training, and though the hand isn’t yet fully recovered the 205-pounder does his best to overcome the injury, attempting to train as normal while also receiving treatment for the injury.
