Couture 1/5 Fav in Battle of the Veterans

Betting Press Staff - 5 Feb 2010

For the first time in UFC history two Hall of Famers will come face to face at UFC 109 Relentless.

Randy “The Natural” Couture (1/5) will take on Mark “The Hammer” Coleman (3/1 & 33/1 Draw) in a match where the combined ages of the two is 91! The pair were scheduled to meet at UFC 17 in 1998, but a Couture injury forced the cancellation of the bout.

Sky Bet MMA betting spokesman Simon McMinn said: “Randy’s superior fitness should see him through this tough fight but he cannot afford to take Coleman lightly, he will try to keep the fight standing up to avoid Coleman’s ground and pound game”

Also on the card is the Middleweight eliminator between Nate Marquardt (1/4) and Chael Sonnen (5/2 & 33/1 Draw). Marquardt will be looking at another shot at Anderson Silva’s belt and is short price favourite to set up a meeting against the Winner of Silva v Belfort.
