UFC 109: Relentless Predictions
The UFC will hold it’s first ever main event featuring two present Hall of Famers Saturday in Las Vegas when Randy Couture faces Mark Coleman. The fight has been labeled many things from old-timers day to the battle of legends and really they are all true. The thing i hear though what strikes meas the most outrageous and rather far fetched is that the winner could be next in line for a title shot. I know they are legends but the 205lbs division is pretty deep and either fighter should have to fight a top 5 guy first before title shot talk. It is a business though and if couture were to win the UFC might give him a title shot before he retires, again.
