UFC officially announces Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Courture in a UFC Heavyweight Title fight

UFC president Dana White announced that they have resolved their problems with Randy Couture and that he will face Brock Lesnar at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada on Nov. 15. White also stated that Couture will remain in UFC. "Whether he wins or loses, he will stay in the UFC," White said. He added that the fight will be for the UFC Hvt. Title and will be a five-round fight.
White also stated that the winner of the Lesnar vs. Couture fight will face the winner of the Antonio Nogueira vs. Frank Mir fight for the UFC Interim Hvt. Title sometime next year.
Powell's POV: The fight is official. White said they were looking at Portland as a possible site, but they never announced it. He said they would be going to Portland, Oregon in the future, but this fight will take place in Las Vegas. This will be Brock's first five-round fight and it will be interesting to see whether he can go the distance if it comes to that. Observers noted that he appeared to be gassed at times during his last fight with Heath Herring. If Brock wins the fight (and that's a big if), he could get a chance to avenge his only loss if (another big if) Mir wins his fight against Nogueira.
