Rumors have flown for over a year. Forums were writing about dream match ups. Reality was Couture was not coming back to the UFC, Brock had lost his UFC debut. Wait a minute...how did we get to this. The long legal battles had put a strain on Couture. With no end in sight Randy reached out to Dana White. A meeting was set and Randy was back in the UFC with a new contract(money talks).
Brock just came off a decisive win over Heath Herring, a well known fighter. Well with Randy back and Brock needing a big name opponent the fight was set. A five round championship fight no less.
Does Brock Lesnar deserve a title shot? No, but he has been the biggest pay per view draw for the UFC this year. Lesnar's match with Frank Mir drew 650,000 PPV buys and a match with Couture may get 1 million buys.
