The buzz around the Internet today has been around the possible return of Randy Couture to the UFC. Couture has been holding out, trying to outlast his current contract with the UFC so that he could fight Fedor Emelianenko on his own terms. He had talked about being open to have the fight in the UFC, but Fedor and his management company could never come to terms with the UFC.

The news today is that not only could he come back to the UFC, but that he could possibly main event the November show which is scheduled to be in Portland, Oregon, against none other than Brock Lesnar. Couture grew up in Oregon and would be the perfect drawing card for that show, if it does happen in Portland.

For those that might think this fight is too early for Brock’s career, well, you’re right. But this could be one of the biggest MMA money fights of all time and when the money is there, you have to jump on it. This could be the biggest fight of either man’s career. And if Lesnar puts up a great battle against the hall of famer, win or lose, he is better off than before. A great showing puts Lesnar on the map way more than a win over someone else. Let’s not forget that Lesnar was involved in the biggest money fight of the year in February against Frank Mir.

Randy Couture back in the UFC is something that many fans want to see. I’ll update the situation as more news comes out.
