The headliner of UFC 109 looks like a fight over prescription medication at the geriatric ward of a hospital. Randy Couture (17-10) and his 46 year old liver spotted hands will be tangling with Mark Coleman (16-9) and his 45 year old prosthetic hip. Excitement be damned in this wrestling/stalling match of the year. Two past their prime fighters will head into the octagon hoping that neither will die from a heart attack or old age while in the cage.
Coleman has no skill besides wrestling, and to make things worse, Couture's is better. Coleman has no cardio. Coleman has no business still fighting. Couture doesn't have much business fighting either but he is at least still capable. There is absolutely no value in Couture's line, but there might be a little in Coleman's line. I'm looking for Couture to grind out two rounds and wear Coleman down by smothering him against the cage like a fat man smothers a cake. Then when Coleman's cardio begins to fail like his kidneys, Couture can maybe, just maybe finish this fight.
COUTURE INSIDE THE DISTANCE +242
I'm also making a strong play on CHRIS TUCHSCHERER -160 against Tim Haugue. Tuchscherer (17-2) will be fighting for the second time in the UFC after having his testicles thrust back into his body by a Gabriel Gonzaga leg kick.
I'm not basing this pick on skills or anything but simply because Tuchscherer looks like Gary Busey on steroids.
I also like RONNYS TORRES +125 simply because his nickname is Jungle Boy. Well that and he has takedowns and submissions. And if Guillard has two weaknesses... those weaknesses are definitely cocaine and hookers. Oh and Guillard is susceptible to takedowns and submissions too.
