Light Heavyweights needing a win
The main event of Saturday’s card will be a light heavyweight fight (205 lbs.) between former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Randy Couture (16-10) and Brandon Vera (11-3). Couture is a slight favorite right now with a betting line of -120 while Vera comes in at -110. Couture has lost his last two fights in the heavyweight division and is dropping down to light heavyweight for the second time in his career. Vera also once fought at heavyweight, but was heavily out-sized and made the drop down to light heavyweight, where he has won three out of four fights. Vera is the quicker fighter with more powerful strikes, while Couture is a grappler that will look to get the fight to the ground where he can utilize his ground-and-pound striking.
