TweetI actually think this is Karma. Personally, I don't think that Lesnat deserved to be in that fight already. I think that Werdum should fight Randy and then the winner fights the winner of the Mir/Nog fight.
TweetThis is just a rumor and I haven't heard anything from UFC, but I hope this isn't true!! This will be a big hit to UFC. This was going to be a big payday for them.The match which was billed as the biggest in UFC history is in tatters today after rising star, Brock Lesnar, was forced to pull out of the fight due to injury.
Sustained during training, Lesnar has pulled his hamstring and will be unable to compete on November 15th against heavyweight champion Randy Couture, in what was the biggest fight of his young career.
Although not yet announced by UFC.com, the promotion will now be looking to fill the sizeable void created by this terrible news. One possibility is to pull the “Rampage” vs Silva fight back onto the November card if both fighters were willing.
The Minneapolis gym, at which Lesnar trains were unavailable for comment as I wrote this news, but every effort will be made to reach them during the course of the day.

TweetRumor squashed. Looks like the fight is still on.But, on Thursday, Kim Couture rang about another crazy rumor that was going around. Someone, doing his best Lorenzo Fertitta impersonation, called the Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas. People inside Xtreme Couture scrambled when the fake Fertitta claimed Lesnar was injured, and the Nov. 15 fight was off. The rumor, however, was quickly quashed after confirming Lesnar, all 280 pounds of him, was fine.
Nothin' like a little MMA amusement.
