UFC 109: Relentless
Date: Feb 06, 2010
Location: Las Vegas
Venue: Mandalay Bay Events Center
Broadcast: Pay-per-view

Randy Couture and Mark Coleman have verbally agreed to a light heavyweight headlining bout at UFC 109 on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas.
Couture and Coleman, were scheduled to meet in a relatively new proving ground called the Ultimate Fighting Championship. That mixed martial arts bout at UFC 17 never happened due to injury, but on Saturday, February 6th, nearly 12 years and six UFC championships later

Couture, 46, is the only fighter to have held titles in both the UFC’s light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2006. He is also a two-time Div. I National Championships team member and a two-time NCAA Div. I runner-up for Oklahoma State University.

Coleman, 44, breathed new life into his 13-year career with a unanimous decision victory over 32-year-old “The Ultimate Fighter” finalist Stephan Bonnar at UFC 100 last July in Las Vegas. He was slated to face former 205-pound champion Tito Ortiz at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 in Las Vegas, but withdrew with a slightly torn MCL in early October.

Coleman, who was inducted by the UFC in 2008, was Pride Fighting Championships’ first grand prix tournament champion in 2000 and placed seventh in freestyle wrestling at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Coleman was an NCAA Div. I champion his senior year at Ohio State University.

This should be a chess match of sorts but Couture should not have much of a problem against Coleman.

Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago

The UFC didn’t have to look to look to long for a replacement to face Paulo Thiago at UFC 109, as Mike Swick will step in to replace his fallen American Kickboxing Academy teammate, Josh Koscheck, at the February 6th event.

Swick holds an impressive 14-3 record, but dropped a lopsided unanimous decision to Dan Hardy at UFC 105 last month. The loss marked his first L since dropping to the welterweight division back in January of 2008.

Paulo Thiago, boasts a 12-1 mark of his own and with seven of his victories coming via submission. The Brazilian’s only loss came at the hands of his American Kickboxing Academy teammate Jon Fitch at UFC 100.
