Well, holy shit!

Couture remains in UFC, fights Lesnar in November!

I actually thought about it breaking this way about a month ago, but with the UFC telling Randy 'we'll let you out after one more fight, but it has to be Lesnar'.

As it stands now, he's re-signing with the UFC, and they are going to attempt to work out a fight with Fedor in the next 6 months or so (probably for their Superbowl weekend show).

The Lesnar fight should be interesting. They must figure that will be an easy win for him. It is taking a chance though, because I would think a fight with Fedor is shot with a loss.

**To be honest though, at this point Couture is no match (and probably never has been) for Fedor. Taking more than a year off and coming back to fight even Lesnar seems out of joint.

The real issue that I see is that Randy is going to come into the fight at 225 and Lesnar is coming in close to 280, and I think Lesnar may still be just as quick as Randy at this point. With no speed advantage, and no ability to take Brock to the ground, it could get messy.
