Randy Couture and Mark Coleman have verbally agreed to a light heavyweight headlining bout at UFC 109 on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas, Sherdog.com has learned through sources close to the bout.
Photo: Sherdog
They will make this a main event and try to see yet another crappy card with Randy headlining. Its getting sickening.

Brett Rogers = FAIL! Big John looks like he is trying not to get blood on his shoes. :s


I agree Chris. Coleman/Couture is not exactly what I would call a Main Event.

I'm willing to give Dana the benefit of the doubt if a bunch of his stars are hurt.
However this is the list of upcoming main events

Tonight: Forest Vs. Tito. Sorry this was a good fight about 4 years ago. Meaningless now
UFC 107: Penn Vs. Sanchez. Thank you. Finally a title fight. Shockingly BJ is defending two times in the same calendar year.
UFC 108: Rashad Vs. Thiago Silva. Sorry not interested.
UFC 109: Vitor Vs. Anderson. OK I'll admit I'm interested, but Vitor gets a title shot after one win at 195? Nate is on the undercard, and should be fighting for the belt imo.
UFC 110: Nothing announced for main event yet, but Wanderlei is on the card which leads me to believe Dana will use him again for a main event.

The UFC seriously needs to step it up. There is one maybe two legit Main even fights there. Over the course of 4 months I think that is pathetic. If you toss in the discussions of Coture/Coleman fight and Coture/Vera that is two more crappy fights.

The mistakes the UFC has made with fighters contracts is going to bite them in the ass soon. No more Dan Henderson, and Rampage. They have let Jon Fitch rot away fighting scrub after scrub, because of his contract situation. Add that to the fact you have GSP and Brock hurt, and the UFC really doesn't have much to offer in the way of star power.

Now I'm not saying having two big names makes for a great fight, but I think the term "main event" is more deserving than Forrest/Tito 2 or Coleman/Coture.

The card tonight look decent, I like all the brazilians on it. Fabricio Camoes is a Royler Gracie BJJ blackbelt and I"ve read that he fought a barenuckle fight at 17 years old with Anderson Silva that lasted over 25 minutes. He makes his UFC debut against Caol Uno (don't now why this is not on the main card). Lil Nog vs Luiz Cane might be fight of the night and Paulo Thiago could have been fighting GSP before his loss by decision. There seems to be alot Gracie trained fighters coming to UFC lately. I don't know why cause the refs and Judges are ussually anti ground game.

I like the card. I want to see Johnson knock Koscheck into next week and Baroni get subbed. As for Tito/Griffin, yeah, who cares?



Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson
Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob Volkmann
Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni

Undercard may not be broadcast:
Ben Saunders vs. Marcus Davis
Kendall Grove vs. Jake Rosholt
Brock Larson vs. Brian Foster
Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes
George Sotiropoulos vs. Jason Dent

I personally think the Koscheck/Johnson winner has a better chance against GSP than Dan Hardy. But it doesn't really matter because WW in the UFC goes like this

GSP
Jon Fitch
Everybody else

I just watched Kim Dong Yun's fight against Jason Tan, he looks impresive at WW. I'm actually kind of pumped for the Tito fight. From the pre fight hype show I watched earlier he seems to be fully healthy.

what the fck is with spike playing the prelims free, then again on the PPV. If i actually payed for the ppv i'd be pissed.

Also, i called that tito would lose and cry that he was injured after the fight. So sick of tito. Scrub.

Yeah why the hell did they make us watch those fights twice? They weren't awful fights by any means, but what's the logic?

I thought it was funny how people were picking Tito to win after not fighting in a year and a 1/2. I had Forrest decision and thought it was hillarious how overnight Tito was "60%" again, He's is a whiny *****. I did pick Johnson KO. Lil' Nog took care of Cain, I couldn't call that one. Saunders was a bit surprising as well he's got some mean knees. I was figuring Amir by submission. I gotta give it to Baroni though he's tough he got his ass BEAT for 15 minutes.

Lil nog knocking cain out was the easiest prediction for me that night. Also was right about tito and koscheck, although not the method with koscheck.

Well, that and the fact that she gets the crap kicked out of her.

Decent PPV, I thought. Tito's excuses are as lame as ever. Kos pulled the b.i. ich move of the night. He is still claiming it was the knee that hit his eye when it was obvious he blocked it with his arm. Sure it was an illegal strike but he deserved an Emmy for that. Amir looked really good against Baroni. It thought he would win by sub but he pounded the over-rated Baroni. Lil Nog looked great too.

UFC 107 is looking really good!

C'mon Andy, Carano has only lost one fight (7-1) and that was to, probably, the best woman fighter in the world, Cyborg. As far as women fighters so, she is one of the best and I think could be better if she focused on MMA 100%. But I admit, I like to look at her modeling pics too.
