UFC 68 (March 3rd).
Sylvia vs. Couture-The headlining fight of UFC 68 will be Tim Sylvia defending his title as Heavyweight Champion versus none besides Randy Couture. Couture, who has remained in retirement for nearly a year, has actually not fought as a heavyweight considering that 2002. On paper, Couture is at a downside in almost every location. Physically, Sylvia is seven inches taller and sixty pounds much heavier than Couture. In addition, Couture is thirteen years older than Sylvia. However, this extra experience could really operate in his favor. When it comes to past wins and losses, there is actually no contrast. Sylvia boasts twenty-four triumphes and only two losses, while Couture has eight losses in contrast to his fourteen victories. Despite the fact that Sylvia has an obvious benefit on paper, as soon as the fighters step into the Octagon, none of that will matter. This fight will certainly be one for the books!
Lytle vs. Hughes-Although it is not a championship battle, the bout in between Chris Lytle and Matt Hughes will be an exceptionally amazing one. Matt Hughes, the previous welterweight champ, has an outstanding record of forty-one UFC success and only four losses. Although Lytle’s record is not nearly as clear cut (18-12-5), Matt has currently admitted that Lytle is an extremely ruffian which this battle will be a challenge.
Silva is coming into the battle with more battles under his belt (nineteen), Lutter has fewer losses on his record (two, in comparison to Silva’s 4). Sylvia vs. Couture-The headlining battle of UFC 68 will be Tim Sylvia safeguarding his title as Heavyweight Champion against none other than Randy Couture. Couture, who has actually been in retirement for nearly a year, has actually not fought as a heavyweight given that 2002. Lytle vs. Hughes-Although it is not a championship fight, the bout in between Chris Lytle and Matt Hughes will be an exceptionally interesting one.
