Brazillians have had trouble drawing in North America at the level of other elite MMA fighters. Lyoto Machida’s first title defense drawing just 475,000 buys – the lowest figure for a light heavyweight championship match since Randy Couture vs. Chuck Liddell III in February, 2006 – was th...

By Tom Ngo MMA needs to re-define the word “unanimous” as another UFC main event has ended with a “controversial” unanimous decision. At UFC 105 on Saturday night, it appeared as though Brandon Vera had done enough to defeat Octagon Hall of Famer Randy Couture, however all three judges once again sa...

By E. Spencer Kyte Lost in the shuffle of last weekend's UFC 105 and the impending UFC 106 tomorrow night, the next installment of the Strikeforce Challengers series hits Kansas City, Kansas, tonight with a familiar fight on the card: Couture vs. Vera. Photo courtesy of Esther Lin / Strikeforce.

By Sterling Spiars Randy Couture One reason is that Machida has already verbally agreed to fight Mauricio Rua in a rematch for the light-heavyweight championship. Another reason is that Couture did not win impressively. So in the end, Couture has agreed to fight UFC Hall of Fame fighter, Mark Coleman at UFC 1...

By Bryan Levick A month ago this wasn't an article I would have considered writing. Nogueira was coming off a win over Couture. Big Nog looked outstanding and ready to challenge UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar for the title. What would you rather see, a fight between Couture and Mark Coleman or Coutur...

By Jesse Holland The ratings came in yesterday for UFC 105: "Couture vs. Vera" from the tape-delayed feed originating out of the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England, on Saturday, November 14. The bottom line is both events did good, but not spectacular, and will likely both be obliterate...

By HardBoiled Former UFC heavyweight champions and hall of famers, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman, are penciled in to collide in a 205-pound showdown at UFC 109 from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Feb. 6, according to Sherdog.com.

By James Ryan At the age of 46, Randy “The Natural” Couture returned to the UFC Light Heavyweight Division and immediately declared an interest in fighting Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida (UFC LHW Champion).  At this stage in his career, I think that a lot of people would agree that Randy Couture has very lit...

By Jared Leatzow Couture made a good run as well in the UFC, where he won UFC 13 heavyweight tournament and would eventually claim the heavyweight title from Maurice Smith at UFC Japan. Maurice Smith was at the time the current heavyweight champion and had just won the belt from Coleman himself.

By Josh Nason No word on whether we're getting an interim heavyweight champion, but it's being considered. I'd find it hard to believe that we won't see Cain Velasquez vs. Shane Carwin for the gold sometime in the spring. I read this column by Five Ounces of Pain's Cory Brady with the opinion that former UFC...

By Joe Burgett MMA is 100% real. The fact is that even casual fans of the UFC bought the Lesnar vs. Couture or Lesnar vs. Mir fights on PPV . Then you have wrestling fans that like him too, which adds to the money. If he signs with Strikeforce, they will let him do both wrestling and MMA, but UFC may not let him wrestle.

The Wrestling Observer ranges from 25,000 to 40,000 words covering pro wrestling and MMA all over the world. Josh Koscheck here says that Dan Hardy does not deserve a title shot against GSP. Who do you think won this fight Randy Couture 59.5% Brandon Vera 40.5%

By allthingsmma Simply put, Randy Couture still has it. The man is an amazing specimen when you stand back and look at his accomplishments and his AGE. This man is 46 years old, and he absolutely dominated Brandon Vera in the clinch. Keep in mind that both guys had wrestling backgrounds. This wasn’t a “Randy’s w...

By Zach Arnold Vera rocked Couture in round one, nailed him again in round two, and then attacked with some body shots in round three. Through it all, Couture survived and managed to control Vera against the cage. Vera only managed a weak takedown once.

By Erik Fontanez Couture is usually a joy to watch, but not last night. It was hard to watch a fighter, who’s boxing is pretty precise, clinch his way to a win. Even in the clinch, there wasn’t a whole lot of dirty boxing from Couture. It was rather disappointing to watch the referee break the two fighters up, forc...

By Jason Eisenhorn The biggest surprise was that Randy could only get Vera on his back once. "The Natural" just laid on Vera against the cage and never displayed the power or energy that makes one a dangerous fighter. Other than some punches at the start of the third round, Couture did almost no damage to Vera.

By Josh Nason What's next for Couture? I'm not sure. I don't think he earned a title match against Lyoto Machida with the win that honestly felt inconsequential in the grand scheme of the light heavyweight division. Would it make sense to put him against the winner of Rashad Evans against Thiago Silva? Wh...

Thumbs up Worst match: Couture-Vera Very good show overall. Joe Rogan embarrassed himself, however, with his rant against the judging in the main event. This was no Hamill-Bisping or even Shogun-Machida. It was a fight that was even at 1-1 in rounds wrong guy. Mike Jenkinson

By E. Spencer Kyte The UFC worked hard leading up to this fight to make Brandon Vera seem like a vaunted challenge for Randy Couture and that a win over Vera would send Couture into the upper echelon of the 205-pound division. Vera was Vera, Couture continued to look like Couture (capable but with limitations...

By Jim Genia The hits just keep on coming for the UFC.

Otherwise, expect the same suspicious eye that’s turned towards boxing matches, and the subsequent cries of fixing to rise to a much higher level.

By Chart Topper Fresh off his stinging decision loss to UFC hall of famer Randy Couture, Brandon Vera recently talked to Sherdog about the bout’s final verdict. Here’s the quote: “I’m pissed, I’m really pissed, but the sport of MMA, she, MMA, is a b—h and if you let it go to the judges, you let it out of your hands, you know? So, I’m going to take the blame for this loss. I’m going to man up…I should have finished it. I had a couple of opportunities to during the fight that I should have finished it. I’m super happy I got to fight Randy Couture, my hero, my legend, and let the rest of the light heavyweight division know that I’m going to whip you’re a– if you get into the Octagon with me.”   [read the full post]

By Tom Ngo For the second consecutive show, a UFC main event has ended with a controversial unanimous decision as Randy Couture edged Brandon Vera to earn his first light heavyweight victory since February 2006.

By D Wizzle Vera wins round two by doing some damage to Couture with kicks and punches.  Couture hasn't done anything but clinch with Vera and putting him against the cage. Vera is angry and sarcastically thanks the judges after the fight in his interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

By Josh Stein I know who I’ll be rooting for. I’ve always been a fan of Randy’s, as he’s demonstrated an incredible ability to evolve as a fighter, and he’s one of the cerebral warriors that I think we need more of in MMA. But I’m not convinced he’s going to be able to beat Brandon Vera.

By Robert Gardner Brandon Vera was once one of the fastest rising stars in the UFC but has yet to reach his championship potential. The Truth has all the tools necessary to be a force in the light-heavyweight division and he is finally ready to cash in on all that potential.

By E. Spencer Kyte While some look at his 16-10 record and see a mediocre track record, 15 of those 26 fights have been for UFC gold of one type or another.
