Alright let me give you a little introduction to the fights and fighters from UFC 91 happening on Saturday Nov. 15.
Main Card
Brock Lesnar vs Randy Couture-Heavyweight Championship
Here's the lowdown: Brock Lesnar is a man beast and is downright frightening even from the couch side of the TV screen. He was a national champion wrestler at U Minnesota, was in the WWE and briefly played for the Vikings. He started mixed martial arts a year ago (about) and in his first fight fought Frank Mir, the former UFC heavyweight champion and current UFC douche-extraordinaire, and was destroying him until Mir caught him in a kneebar and made him tap. Lesnar obliterated Heath Herring in August and literally broke his face. Lesnar has to drop weight to get to 265lbs which is the max in the UFC, wears 4XL gloves, has a sick flat top and WYDOs on occasion.

Randy Couture or "Captain America" as we remember him, is 45 years old but generally is the man and cannot be overlooked. He is a 5-time UFC Champ. Thing is he's smaller than Brock but is also a great wrestler, better boxer and generally has 10000 times more experience. If I had to bet, I'd bet on Couture by decision.
Kenny Florian vs Joe Stevenson-Lightweight (155)
This fight is determines the number 1 contender for the Lightweight title. From what I've heard if Florian wins he'll fight BJ Penn for the title in May or something. Joe Stevenson just lost to BJ early in 2008 so if he wins he'll probably fight Sean Sherk who lost to BJ in march. That won't happen though, Florian will win if for no reason other than the fact that he is constantly giving the people's eyebrow without knowing it.
There is some other stuff happening on this card but I realize I'm writing a lot so if it's important I'll talk about it after the weekend.
