UFC 91:
“Couture vs. Lesnar
Date: Saturday, November 15, 2008, at 10 p.m. ET on
pay-per-view (PPV)
Location: MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada
UFC 91, of course, is headlined by the blockbuster fight
between heavyweight champion Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar.
Top lightweight contenders Kenny Florian and Joe Stevenson
are also expected to be in action.
Sadollah — the unlikely champion of
the most recent edition of the Spike TV mixed
martial arts reality series — shocked just about
everyone with wins over Steve Byrnes, Gerald Harris,
Matt Brown and CB Dollaway in just six weeks.
And he stopped them all early despite sustaining
damage in most if not all of his fights. Not bad for
a fighter who had zero professional fights under his
belt prior to the show, He’s a super resilient and
crafty fighter in the mold of UFC Heavyweight
Champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Nick Catone, who trains under Brazilian jiu-jitsu
stud Ricardo Almeida in Hamilton, N.J. has been
active since 2007 on the northeast fighting circuit.
He has finished his last three opponents via
technical
knockout under the Ring of Combat banner. This will
mark the first fight for Catone inside the Octagon.
Believe it or not but the sportsbooks already have
betting lines out for the blockbuster bout between
heavyweight champion Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar
at UFC 91 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las
Vegas, Nevada, on November 15:
They have Lesnar at even money and Couture coming in
the favorite at -140. That's pretty good odds if
you're planning to bet on Couture. While the size
and strength advantage and in Lesnar's favor,
Couture
has more MMA tools to win this fight. Nonetheless it
should be a very interesting battle and Lesnar in
his fourth fight in MMA will have a chance to become
the UFC heavyweight champion.
