A Little UFC 91 Hype

This Saturday is UFC 91 featuring the main event fight of Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar. In a nutshell, Randy Couture is probably the most famous and most beloved mixed martial arts fighter of all time. He was the first inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame and has fought the who's who list of MMA legends. Brock Lesnar is a former WWE wrestler who was an NCAA National Champion wrestler in college. After passing up a major contract extension with the WWE he tried to realize his dream of playing pro football (after not having played since high school). He tried out with the Minnesota Vikings and made the practice squad. Apparently during the try out Lesnar showed off his elite level athleticism by running at 4.7 second 40 yard dash and recording a 35 inch vertical jump while weighing in at 295 pounds.

Go behind the scenes as 3-time UFC® Heavyweight Champ Randy "The Natural" Couture and wrestling powerhouse Brock Lesnar prepare for the biggest fight in mixed martial arts history! Can the legend prevail? Or will a new hero rise? [UFC Channel]

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.
