It was announced today that UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture will finally return to the UFC and he will be returning to face former WWE Superstar and UFC newcomer Brock Lesnar on November 15th for the Title in Las Vegas.

During the conference call to announce the match up, Lesnar was questioned about the number one ranked heavyweight in the world, Fedor Emelianenko and his response was an explosive one.

"Who gives a shit about Fedor Emelianenko?" Lesnar started "I'm sick and tired of sitting on the phone listening about Fedor. Who f***ing gives a shit?".

With one line, Lesnar could possibly have become one of the most hated men in MMA. Fedor is beloved by fans and quite a few people do give a shit for about the "Last Emperor".

Lesnar (2-1) is already a huge draw for the UFC and with the announced match up with Couture set, the two men could possible put on the biggest UFC in the history of the company. Although it may seem undeserving, for a rookie such as Lesnar to get a crack at the title, it is no surprise that this fight was announced as this is a money making buisness and this is a money making fight.

UFC President Dana White was very confident in the numbers this card could do.

"I expect 1 million to 1.5 million buys for this PPV. This will be the biggest fight in UFC history."

Big words from a guy new to the sport. Hopefully he is just trying to hype up a fight with Fedor and he doesn't consider himself on that level. Maybe he is just jealous because he isn't in the lime light this time.

TweetHe doesn't want Fedor right now. I can guarantee that. Lesnar may be big and he may be strong but that's only a small piece of the MMA puzzle. He's not at that level yet.

TweetLESNAR JUST MIGHT CATCH RANDY WITH A POERFUL PUNCH. LESNAR CAN WRESTLE AND SO CAN RANDY. IF LESNAR DOES LOSE ITS BECAUSE OF A ARM BAR OR KNEE LOCK BUT RANDY WONT KNOCK OUT LESNAR.LESNAR HAS THE CARDIO BUT LACKS THE JUJITSU. WELL I HOPE IT IS ENTERTAINING. AND NO MATTER WHAT LESNAR IS A WINNER BECAUSE I READ THAT LESNAR GETS PAID $250,000 FOR EVERY FIGHT WIN OR LOSE

I think Randy bit off more than he can chew with this one

TweetI am actually on the other side of the fence. I think the UFC has thrown Lesnat to the wolves in this one. Randy is too good and experienced to get caught with something stupid and I don't think Lesnar has the skill set to outmatch Randy.

Tweetyeah Lesnar is a world class wrestler as well. We dont really see Randy submit too many people so I cant see much advantage going to Randy other than experience.

On the other hand you have lesner who through frank/hearing around like rag dolls and has pretty good hands.

Randy has also been dormant for close to a year now. Unless he has been training his ass of he isnt going to be ready to beat Lesnar.

TweetRandy is awesome on the ground!! He had a grappling match with Jacarri I think, and it ended in a draw. Jacarri is one of the top BJJ guys in the world. Rnady is definately no joke on the ground.

It will be an awesome fight no doubt.
