Rumor: Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera at UFC 105

Mike Rome of BloodyElbow.com with the report:

It is strongly rumored that Randy Couture will return to the octagon in the main event at UFC 105 opposite Brandon Vera in a light heavyweight showdown.

...

The UFC originally approached Couture with a bout against Rashad Evans, and Couture accepted, but Evans turned the fight down.

Rome says the rumor was confirmed with multiple sources. The only thing missing from the report is if Vera accepted the offered fight. I fully understand why Evans would decline considering his entire career at this moment revolves around the fight with Quinton Jackson, but it is clear that the UFC is serious about finding a fitting main event for the show when they’re trying to get a Couture/Evans fight on the card.
