Impressive finish will net Couture a Lesnar rematch
by Jeremy Botter - August 9, 2009 | Email the author

Inside Fights has confirmed what we reported back in June: an impressive finish of Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera will earn Randy Couture a rematch against UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar.

Dana White has promised that the winner of the October fight between Cain Velasquez and Shane Carwin will get a world title shot; we’ve confirmed with both fighters (including this interview with Shane Carwin on my radio show, The Takedown) that it’s a championship contender’s bout. Randy Couture certainly isn’t getting any younger, however, and if you’re going to do the big-money Lesnar rematch it’s probably best to do it as soon as possible. The first Lesnar/Couture fight did big business at the box office, but Zuffa believes a rematch would do even better.

what a waste, I wouldn’t spend my money getting that ppv. Randy is washed up and this next match with Noguiera is an old fart match for nostalgia, won’t waste my money on it either
