UFC 105 Preview: Couture vs Vera

" Welcome back to fox like neighbors and I tell about this is round -- and has Randy couture becoming gateway fighter like Matt Hughes has. But he guys -- that's that he first I'd definitely -- fighter stretches means I -- he's got a great fight commanding his -- it's definitely very instinct fight. But I'm really wants is a gateway president Josh -- in the LA bureau Josh. I say -- potentially gateway fighter but despite -- to read -- rated very wins he most likely with a machine it. Will -- DC a title fight if he wins this fight. I don't think right away the used to it heavily divisions very good there's a lot of contenders there. You know Randy -- toward being who he is not a win would immediately vault him in that sort of category or discussion. But let Brandon Vera has not done much of the light heavyweight division wins over Crist offices in ski and in my -- really don't. Seal the deal forming so even if a rainy beats him you know he's still a long way to go. But you know anything's possible friend he's solo one of the fan favorites are -- here we're seeing. -- tie versus wrestling you know and and -- he's great at the dirty boxing how is he going to match up against."

" Britain there things don't match up pretty well I think is. Best best plan be be very soon get close uses thirty box and put on to promote education and actually taken down in you know work as a -- got a patent act."

" Every shot 47 years old is -- coming to that proverbial ended his career which have been talking about for ten years now. Yeah well biology class Tommy what -- that's been a you know when you get older you know. Your your skills and your community overall performance starts to decline at least in sports get it hasn't happened yet I mean he did lose that fight Madera. But -- he had as long as -- and you know it was a unanimous decision but it was a very very close fight. I'll stick with the underdog theme from last week in Austin have -- bear will finally see the light and finally live up his expectations -- at light heavyweight and be ready to act as though I just think. You know it. 46 years old you're still have to start decline at some point I know he's he's the man he's defied logic all this time but it just has to happen and and why not -- this Saturday night in Manchester."

" All right Marcus do you think my carry -- mention a little bit of possibly rated not living up to his potential as he did a disappointment at that heavyweight -- later we have political ranks there."

" He's doing better I think as of ladies kind of gotten comfortable in the weight class and -- is doing much better now. I happen to think that Randy couture will win this fight I think that he's a very very tough appointment at his age he's just got the skill set. They'll match a very well against the Brandon Vera. And I just see them putting -- in -- title fight the legal action if he wins this fight because of his name in people's views LaSalle."

" Well this by we're not talking paper -- and live spike TV nine yen for free and Josh -- how important is that when you've got to CBS card. For free Saturday night the next weekend you've got you have seek park for free is that bringing the sport into -- more mainstream audience. Well I think it's great for fans I mean that you know they've been so loyal and the willing to spend their paper -- dollars and consistent consistent basis of the USC. The -- to put a free car on spike I think is very good and obviously the running against Manny Pacquiao no go Miguel -- they could run opposite paper view wouldn't make sense. And I think that he's gonna be really interesting barometer sea with the ratings where. You know could torn -- spike TV verses -- or in Rogers that the weaken before on CBS I think they'll be an interest in measuring stick. What do better fights that night also Mike's quick takes on Dan hardy Frankie -- that's gotta be a fight -- to sit in in at least watching. What do you think this place can be yup and despite going to be."

" You know I don't know I really can't said pick a winner now on the -- both withstand you know I think -- as -- punching power and slick on the says quick hands."

" Like to see what happens on the ground that's going to be deciding factor."

" Carried out is it could be graphite he's gonna status -- I think this one's gonna be contested on on their feet both guys love the strike. Both guys have looked very impressive as of late at once again -- with the underdogs I think Dan hardy in his home country. Will will will shock a lot of people a lot of people don't think that he deserves to be in this spot and you contending that the cases only but three times in the UC. Mike's lake definitely if he wins he deserves charges."

" So if Kelly butcher says in this fight wait first vote what color is is our parties they're going to be the most important I'm gonna creature that ethic. These price go to the standard red. I don't know love this fight -- and I've known him with frank Genesis I'm really don't know which waking up in -- speed my hardest and hometown crowd. Building sweet Jesus got more experience and got those -- the I think us and them play mark -- quick but he -- Honestly I'm I'm more excited for that does."

" But you're the winds can then just can't buy the I just wanna see how busy is gonna bounce back let's go let's let's let's go to our job growth on the bird because market apparently it's nothing to say come all the busting your chops. But you tell you look at this -- quite seriously a sociology bought bounces back from -- and pretty much hammered by Dan Henderson. Our route three coming up standby."
