UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar - Bodog Odds and Full Card

UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar will take place on November 15th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main event features returning heavyweight champion Randy Couture defending his title against Brock Lesnar. The winner of that fight will later face the victor of December’s Frank Mir / Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira match.

Matt Riddle was originally scheduled to take on Ryan Thomas, but an injury forced him to withdraw. Matt Brown is filling in.

Also, Amir Sadollah was forced to back out of his fight with Nick Catone due to a leg infection. The fight was eventually cancelled when a replacement could not be found. Because of this, the bout between Tamdan McCrory and Dustin Hazelett was bumped up to the main card.

RANDY COUTURE VS. BROCK LESNAR

Randy Couture - The Champion

After patching things up with the UFC, Randy Couture is returning to the Octagon to defend his title. Here are some important facts about the champ.

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 220 pounds

Accomplishments: Olympic wrestling team alternate

One of only two UFC fighters to hold titles in different weight divisions (the other being BJ Penn)

Only 5-time champ in UFC history.

A member of the UFC Hall of Fame

The oldest titles holder in the UFC and MMA (45 years old).

MMA Record: 16-8

Notable Wins: Tim Sylvia, Gabriel Gonzaga, Vitor Belfort, Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, Pedro Rizzo, Kevin Randleman and Jeremy Horn. (7 wins by KO, 2 wins by submission and 7 wins by decision)

Notable Losses: Chuck Liddell (twice), Josh Barnett, Enson Inoue (4 losses by KO and 4 losses by submission)

Quote: “I’ve watched the footage that’s out there for Brock, and obviously his most recent endeavor in the Octagon was Heath Herring and I see the differences and see the improvement. I have a pretty good idea technically of where he’s coming from because we share that similar wrestling background. I’ve wrestled plenty of guys that are Brock’s size. I don’t believe I’ve fought anybody that’s Brock’s size other than Tim (Sylvia). Most of my recent fights, the guys have been pretty large, at least outweighing me by 25 pounds. So those are things I’ve trained and am prepared to deal with.”

Brock Lesnar - The Challenger

Height: 6’3”

Weight: 265 pounds

Accomplishments: 2000 NCAA wrestling champion

Offered a developmental spot on the Minnesota Vikings

Former WWE heavyweight champion

MMA Record: 2-1

Notable Wins: Heath Herring and Min Soo Kim

Notable Losses: Frank Mir

Quote: “In my mind, before I fought with (Mir), I wanted to come in and fight two or three fights and win those fights and hopefully get a title shot. This has been a blessing in disguise. I wouldn’t even consider Randy as an underdog. He’s a tough son of a bitch. Randy wasn’t an underdog against Gonzaga, nor was he an underdog against Tim Sylvia. I never thought that he was in any of those fights. Randy’s a world-class athlete regardless of his age.”
