The main fight on the card has Randy Couture defending his UFC heavyweight championship belt against challenger Gabriel Gonzaga.Couture came out of retirement to dominate Tim Sylvia for five rounds to win the title earlier this year. The win shocked many UFC fans but Randy seems to always do well when he is underestimated.

Gabriel Gonzaga is undefeated with a 4-0 UFC record which includes a win over Mirko Cro Cop. Gonzaga knocked Cro Cop out with a kick to the head rendering the former PRIDE star unconscious.
