I am sure you all have seen the commercials and heard all the hype about tonight’s Ultimate Fighting PPV. The biggest match on the card is Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar. While I enjoy occasionally watching wrestling I am a huge fan of ultimate fighting always have been.

I have one problem with this fight as I am sure a few people or maybe more do. For the life of me I can not understand how in the hell did Brock end up facing Randy? He has had 2 fights in UFC & he is 1-1 he lost his first fight to Frank Mir who I am sure we can all agree is a pretty good fighter. Brock won his second match which was against Heath Herring who lets all be honest he isn’t the best fighter he has had more losses then wins.

So lets match up Randy & Brock’s MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) Records shall we Randy is 16-8-0 while Brock is 2-1-0.  While Brock was wrestling in WWE I saw a few of his matches granted he is a good wrestler which can help him in the octagon but here there are no pin falls you have submission & knockouts so the F5 he used in wrestling isn’t going to help him here. 

There are a lot of fighters who deserve a shot against Randy but Brock surely isn’t one of them. Dana White is always saying how these fighters need to prove themselves and prove they have what it takes to be in the UFC, well Brock hasn’t done that for me and for him to have a title shot after only two fights makes what Dana White says a joke. I am sure some of the fighters there are pissed that Brock has jumped ahead of them and gotten a shot at Randy I think he got it more by name then anything else.

So lets fast forward here and see what ending outcome of all this could be. The winner of Couture vs Lesnar goes on to face(well is suppose to but things can change) the winner of Mir vs Nogueira for the Undisputed UFC Heavyweight Championship the reason they are doing this is because Nogueira is only the UFC interim Heavyweight champion. When its all said & done the two winners will fight in a match to unify the titles.  In the end I don’t think Brock deserves to even be in contention by that is just my two cents…
