As reported by Sherdog.com yesterday, a matchup between UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture and Mark Coleman has been slated for UFC 109 in February.
BumpyKnuckle.com has since confirmed that bout agreements are in place, and an official announcement is forthcoming. It will be the first time ever that two Hall of Famers have met in the Octagon.
Couture headlined this past Saturday’s UFC 105 event, defeating Brandon Vera by unanimous decision. It was his first fight at light heavyweight since 2006.
Coleman was originally scheduled to face Tito Ortiz at UFC 106 this Saturday. However, he had to withdraw due to a torn MCL. After a ten-year absence, Coleman has fought twice in the UFC, losing to Mauricio Rua before defeating Stephan Bonner by unanimous decision at UFC 100.
UFC 109 is tentatively scheduled for February 6th, taking place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
