Reporta are circulating around the internet that Randy “The Natural” Couture could possibly return to the UFC for one more fight and that could be as early as UFC 91 in November when the UFC debuts in Portland OR.
Michael Rome over at Bloodyelbow.com has been hearing from his sources that the return is in fact a possibility and that there are talks of him fighting newcomer Brock Lesnar upon said return:
I’ve spoken with a lot of people about Randy Couture in the last day. Things are definitely happening.
First, I can say with 100% certainty that there are current negotiations for Randy Couture to return in November to main event, and that the current proposed opponent is Brock Lesnar. They can’t get Fedor, too many issues to work out on short notice, and he has a US-only non compete with Affliction.
This will be a new contract, not a return to the old one. It will likely pay him more and give him more benefits, but it will lock him into the UFC for the long term. In exchange for signing it Zuffa would drop all breach of contract charges.
