Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman at UFC 109

Photo

Sherdog is reporting that Randy Couture and Mark Coleman will be one of the headline bouts for UFC 109:

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.

If signed, the bout will mark the first time UFC hall of famers have met in the Octagon. Both former heavyweight champions, Couture was originally slated to face Coleman at UFC 17 in May 1998 in Mobile, Ala., before the four-time Olympic alternate hurt his ribs prepping for that year’s Greco-Roman wrestling Nationals.

This will mark Couture's third fight in about five months, which isn't too shabby for a 46 year old.  I'll admit that it's rather neat to the MMA history dork in me that we'll see a fight that was supposed to take place 11 years ago happen, and the fact that both men are still picking up wins in the UFC is very impressive.

But, at the same time we're not exactly looking at a fight with meaning in the division.  Couture has to be the heavy favorite heading in and him taking out Coleman doesn't prove that he is ready to take on a Shogun or a Machida.  It is pretty clear that the hits the roster has taken because of injuries will lead to some moves like this fight that look a bit desperate.

Yeah, stupid old fighters

Winning fights against much younger competition and now having to fight each other. You’re right, these already aging fighters should be put on the shelf for seven months before they fight each other. It’s not like they’re getting old or something..

German edition of TUF?

does that mean TUF for Germany only? or TUF featuring fighters from Germany?

Tuf created for Germany. There will be around 7 new editions for different markets and more dependent on new TV deals.

Editions based on current TV deals:

English (original edition premiered on spike – will feature USA, CANDA, UK, AUS, etc…)
Spanish (mexico, south america, etc…)
German (Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Luxembourg).
Mandarin (china)
Korean (South Korea)
portuguese (brazil, Portugal, etc…)
Italian (italy)
French (France, Belgium)

Future editions dependent on new TV deals:
Hindi (India)
Japanese (Japan)
Dutch (Netherlands)
Arabic (middle east)

Every other market doesn’t matter financially or they fit one or more of the languages above for where syndication and inclusion of their national fighters is convenient.

wouldn't that still lessen fights for them?

If i wanted to see Vitor, he won’t be able to fight, and i’d have to listen to a portugese show then? If so, I think that’s a lame idea, (but mostly because i won’t be able to watch/understand it)..

I know you claim to be Mr. Big business, but when people talk about market size they almost always mean the amount of money you can make in that market. In context that was clearly my point.

I don’t mean to diminish the value of the UFC growing its brand overseas (lots of other leagues do it), but the US will remain the primary revenue source for the UFC for the foreseeable future.

Renzo/Hughes didn’t do much for me since I don’t actually like either guy.

It’s clear that this is a bit of a desperation move since they’re low on headliners. But that doesn’t mean I can’t still find ways to enjoy it.

But look at it this way— if Hughes won’t fight the likes of Fitch, I just want to see him fight a few more times before he calls it a career. I guess I feel that way about a lot of these guys— I’ve never been a Chuck or Hughes fan, but I’m going to be sad when they’re done fighting for good. Call it selfish if you want.

Yeah, there’s no way the winner of this fight is considered a top contender. They’ll probably then have to face a much tougher (rank-wise) and younger opponent, in which case I think Couture might be worthy of a shot (after a win). It might sound awful, but I can’t think of any scenario in which Coleman would be worthy of a title shot.

But if they keep up with their bad luck, I can see them pushing Couture’s 9888900th title shot on us with just a win over Coleman. Your scenario where he beats Coleman and then one more guy is way better.

A lot of people thought beating Vera would get him a title shot, so I don’t know why beating Coleman would stop that fast track. Realistically, its a more legit road to a title shot than he has had in the past.

Haha. That's cool,

Liddell vs Coleman.. And Randy vs Forrest/Tito winner.. But hey, chuck could always fight the winner of either, and I’ll still be happy.. Chuck vs Forrest/Coleman would be good IMO.

Whoever wins the mini senior circuit tourney could be granted a title shot due to their tenure and popularity. 2-3 straight wins and you’ve got a fully revived career of one of those seniors.

(yes I know I listed Forrest in the group, But a former champ with 2 straight against legends would most likely get him a shot since his popularity would rise even more)

Not trying to boast or anything, but I wrote about the possibility of this match-up in our recent Aftermath article. Pretty crazy that it actually came to fruition though.

Now will Rogan and Goldy shut it with the “ALL THIS AT 46 YEARS OLD!” crap for just one fight? Great, he’s 46, and the other guy is 44. They were both Olympic level wrestlers and former heavyweight champs. This is a good matchup, but that message is tired and pointless here.

Please don't give Couture a Title shot if he beats Coleman

For some reason, I can see the UFC give Couture a title shot if he beats Coleman, and I hope that doesn’t happen. Coleman as it is seems like a step down from fighting Brandon Vera, and Coleman just has a name for himself and is someone that Couture can beat.

by chrisbboy82 on Nov 18, 2009 1:04 AM EST reply actions  

I get the feeling the UFC is trying to send Randy out with some wins

Its good to see him fight, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t for the life of me believe that Couture could beat the top fighters in this division like Evans, Thiago Silva, Shogun, or Machida.

He’s become a special attraction fighter, it looks like.

by mason_beer on Nov 18, 2009 1:06 AM EST reply actions  

Wasn’t Coleman training at Xtreme Couture for his fight with Bonnar?

by grb on Nov 18, 2009 1:26 AM EST reply actions  

yeah

and he basically chased Bonner out of XC, didn’t he? I got the feeling that Tompkins and Co chose Coleman over Bonner.

by mason_beer on Nov 18, 2009 2:16 AM EST up reply actions  

And it will be too awkward to choose Coleman over Couture. So I guess it’s back to his porch with Baroni and the rest of the hammer house crew.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Baroni is with AKA,

so maybe he could get Coleman in for this camp..

He may not win the fight, but at least he’ll be able to deadlift 1000# and bench 700# at the end of his camp.

Thompkins left XC so Couture might train with him at the Tapout gym.

i wonder if Randy is going to try and play the grappler in this bout or is he going to try and play the standup game with Coleman? Either way, Coleman is going to have a hell of a rough night.

for all intents and purposes, just consider all my posts as works of satire.

I don’t think this one is going to a decision unless Randy chooses to make it a boring fight. Couture is going to win by TKO via GNP.
