Upcoming fights for heavyweights, old and young
The UFC has made a few moves in the sometimes sucky, sometimes amazing heavyweight division.
– Randy Couture agreed to a fight with fellow MMA legend Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, but as of yet, Nog has not signed on. This is a fight many anticipated, but expected that it would be for the unified heavyweight title. But after Couture’s loss to Brock Lesnar, and Nog’s loss to Frank Mir, these two will match-up at UFC 101. That should put to rest any rumors of Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko at UFC 100.
– Heath Herring will face up-and-coming heavyweight Cain Velasquez at UFC 99 in June in Germany. This fight, as well as Gabriel Gonzaga’s upcoming bout with Shane Carwin, should clear up the championship ladder in the heavyweight division.
