It was announced today that UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture will finally return to the UFC and he will be returning to face former WWE Superstar and UFC newcomer Brock Lesnar on November 15th for the Title in Las Vegas.
During the conference call to announce the match up, Lesnar was questioned about the number one ranked heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko and his response was an explosive one.
“Who gives a shit about Fedor Emelianenko?” Lesnar started “I’m sick and tired of sitting on the phone listening about Fedor. Who f***ing gives a shit?”.
With one line, Lesnar could possibly have become one of the most hated men in MMA. Fedor is beloved by fans and quite a few people do give a shit for about the “Last Emperor”.
Lesnar (2-1) is already a huge draw for the UFC and with the announced match up with Couture set, the two men could possible put on the biggest UFC in the history of the company. Although it may seem undeserving, for a rookie such as Lesnar to get a crack at the title, it is no surprise that this fight was announced as this is a money making buisness and this is a money making fight.
UFC President Dana White was very confident in the numbers this card could do.
“I expect 1 million to 1.5 million buys for this PPV. This will be the biggest fight in UFC history.”
