Live on Saturday, November 14, 2009 at the M.E.N Arena in Manchester, England. Randy “The Natural” Couture (16-10) will face Brandon “The Truth” Vera (11-3) in the Main Event of the evening. Randy will drop down to light heavyweight division for the first time since 2006. He has tasted defeat in his last two bouts against Brock Lesnar and Antonio ” Minotauro” Nogueira. Vera has also competed at heavyweight and light heavyweight. He made his LHW debut at Fight Night 14 and has since gone 3-1, with his most recent bout being a boring decision win against Krzysztof Soszynski. Hometown favorite Michael Bisping (18-2) will take on crafty veteran Denis kang (32-11-1). Kang is 1-1 in the UFC and will not want to drop another fight. While Bisping is coming off one of the most devastating knock outs in UFC history against Dan Henderson. We will see if he can rebound from such a nasty KO.
