UFC 109 Main Event - Randy Couture (17-10-0) vs. Mark Coleman (16-9-0)
"Couture vs. Coleman is one of those dream match ups that fans have always talked about,” UFC President Dana White said when announcing the Main Event at UFC 109. “And when you consider that these are two of the greatest wrestlers turned mixed martial artists ever, and it’s the first time that two guys who have already earned their way into the UFC Hall of Fame are fighting each other, this is not only an intriguing match up, but a historic one.”
Couture sports an overall record of 17-10 in the UFC. The 6' 2", 205 pound fighter is a five-time UFC Champion at both the heavyweight, and light heavy weight levels. In his last fight, Couture won on a unanimous decision over contender Brandon Vera in UFC 105. He is relishing the opportunity to fight Coleman.
“Mark Coleman is another classic match up for me,” Couture said in a Ultimate Fighting Championship 109 pre-fight interview. “Like (Antonio Rodrigo) Nogueira, this is a fight that was supposed to happen a long time ago and is finally now a reality. Mark has a tremendous wrestling pedigree, and his collegiate and freestyle background has taken him a long way in MMA. I look forward to testing my skills and fighting spirit against another UFC Hall of Fame fighter.”
Coleman won the first heavyweight title in UFC, and is already a member of the hall of fame. He was a National Champion wrestler at Ohio State University, and now fights in the light heavyweight division. In his last UFC match up, Coleman defeated Stephan Bonnar. He is fully aware of the task in front of him, and looks forward to the opportunity of fighting Couture in the UFC 109 Main Event.
“This is by far the biggest fight of my career,” Coleman remarked in a pre-fight interview. “I have nothing but respect both inside and outside of the Octagon for Randy Couture. He is one of the greatest in the history of MMA. It’s an honor to accept this challenge to fight him and a win here would be one of the top highlights of my career. I expect to win, and will prepare for a war. I will do all I can to make this an exciting fight for the fans.”
Couture is a heavy favorite in this fight, currently listed at -500 according to the UFC 109 Betting odds. Coleman is going off at +300. Read Full Preview
