UFC President Dana White has a major announcement planned today at 3PM/ET. As soon as the announcement is made, I will post it on here...

Should be posted any minute.....

Ninja · 09-02-2008, 04:17 PM

Now it's been pushed back to 4PM/ET

.

ABOSWORTH · 09-02-2008, 04:28 PM

Yeah, I just noticed on the website.

Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait.

Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar for the UFC HW title at UFC 91 in Las Vegas, NV.

I have mixed feelings about this announcement.

ABOSWORTH · 09-02-2008, 05:45 PM

I didn't expect that... For some reason I thought it would have to do with WEC getting rid of the higher weight classes..

When's UFC 91 guys? About late October or something?

Cool, great to see Couture back in action again.

Damn, im looking forwar to this one. Brock looked great last time out and with Randy being about 147 years old now this could be the one where he gets old.

If Randy can turn up with his A-game it could be a great fight though.

Im taking Lesner by stoppage in this one.

Well WEC is still planning on getting rid of the higher weight classes, which is awesome in my mind. Then we'd get to see fighters like Carlos Condit and Paulo Filho go to the UFC.

Lesnar will need to bring his A game to beat Randy. Remember, Couture is widely considered to be a top 3 HW. Lesnar is not even top 15 in my mind. Randy just needs to be Randy and he'll do just fine.
