November 15 is a day MMA fans have marked down on their calendar as a day that will surely make UFC history. That is the day UFC 91 will take place, the event that brings relative newcomer Brock Lesnar (with his 2-1 fledgling MMA record) and current and 3-time heavyweight champion and 2-time heavyweight king Randy Couture face-to-face in the Octagon to see who will come out on top.

As Randy Couture sees it, according to a Joe Rogan interview at UFC 88, the biggest challenge of battling with Brock Lesnar will be his size (280 pounds to Couture’s 225) and the fact that he, like Couture, has a wrestling background.

Typically Couture relies on those elements as his edge over other combatants, but he says that considering the atypical evenness of the matchup, he’s going to have to bone up on his striking and submissions, not his greatest skills but also, he believes, not Lesnar’s either.

Fans wonder how much the age difference between them (Lesnar is 31, Couture 45) will come into play.

Everyone watching the UFC is already on the edge of their seats waiting to see whether a pro-MMA freshman can take out a Hall of Famer.
