Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera at light heavyweight headlines UFC 105
UFC 105 finally has its headliner.
With several potential main-event options falling by the wayside for a variety of reasons, the UFC today announced a light heavyweight bout between MMA legend Randy Couture (16-10 MMA, 13-7 MMA) and a recently surging Brandon Vera (11-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) would headline the event.
UFC 105 takes place Nov. 14 at Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England.
A former two-time light heavyweight title holder, Couture returns to the 205-pound division for the first time since a 2006 loss to Chuck Liddell. The drop shouldn't be drastic for the 46-year-old, as Couture weighed just 220 pounds for his August headlining loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at "UFC 102: Couture vs. Nogueira."
Vera has also competed at both heavyweight and light heavyweight. "The Truth" has maintained his desire to be a champion in both divisions, though 205 pounds is his focus for the time being.
The 31-year-old has compiled a 3-1 record in the UFC's light heavyweight division after dropping from heavyweight in 2008 following back-to-back losses to Fabricio Werdum and Tim Sylvia. Vera most recently fought in a unanimous-decision win over Krzysztof Soszynski on the main card of the same UFC 102 event that saw Couture in the main-event bout.
Tickets for UFC 105 are currently on sale. The event airs in the U.S on Spike TV.
With the official addition to the card, UFC 105 now includes:
* Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera * Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang * Dan Hardy vs. Dong Hyun Kim * Matt Brown vs. James Wilks* * John Hathaway vs. Paul Taylor* * Terry Etim vs. Shannon Gugerty* * Ross Pearson vs. Aaron Riley* * Nick Osipczak vs. Matthew Riddle* * DaMarques Johnson vs. Peter Sobotta* * Roli Delgado vs. Andre Winner* * Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jared Hamman*

This is a really solid line-up. Good to see Randy in action again so soon and it will be interesting to see how Bisping and Kang both do after their last fights.
