I could be wrong but looks like Couture may be coming back.

He would make a killing if he fought Lesnar. That would be one of the highest grossing fights ever.

I'll go out on a ledge here and say that I don't see Couture beating Lesnar as a lock. I know the experience lies with Couture but Lesnar is an example of what I feel MMA has been lacking and that is truly elite athletes.

Not in any weight class 185 or below.

I'd have to see the shape that Coture is in, and how much he weighs before I could make a prediction.

i learned that you never underestimate cotoure...he's beaten men just as big as lesnar and has so much experience...he's no shluba and won't just lay on the ground like herring

Obvously its great to have Randy back in the UFC and fighting again. But i just don't see how Brock, being 1-1 in the UFC deserves a title shot.

To qoute "William Muny" in Unforgiven; "deserves got nothing to do with it!". This is a business decision pure & simple. The PPV numbers will be huge.
