Since we are on the subject of the UFC, I wanted to post this video from ESPN. It was just announced a few days ago Randy Couture would be returning to the UFC after a year of holding out. Couture will be facing man-gorilla Brock Lesnar for the UFC Heavyweight Title on November 15th. UFC President Dana White says this fight will be the largest in UFC history and will have 1,000,000 pay-per-view buys & with mainstream TV coverage starting this early for the fight it's definitely possible.
