WWE News: Randy Couture says he'll exploit Brock Lesnar's wrestling background at UFC 91 fight Nov 4, 2008 - 12:18:52 PM
Former WWE champions Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle made appearances on last night's Raw via the John Cena video series focusing on Cena's early career exploits on Smackdown.
Lesnar will be in one of the most-watched MMA fights potentially in UFC history next Saturday when he faces former UFC champion Randy Couture, who says he'll look to exploit Lesnar's wrestling background to win their fight.
"He's getting by with his wrestling background and it's my job to exploit those other areas where he's not as sharp as he should be yet," Couture told the U.K. Sun. "I'll have to force him into those areas. ... They're the areas that wrestlers tend to be weak at when they first start out in this sport. I think it'll go well."
Couture says he's looking forward to fighting Lesnar because he brings a lot of attention to the sport that otherwise wouldn't be there. He's not sure if Lesnar can be considered a top heavyweight yet, but it's a good challenge for him.
"Brock brings a lot of eyeballs to the show that maybe wouldn't have tuned in otherwise," Couture said. "Then there's me coming back to the UFC, which has created quite a stir as well, so those two things combined makes for a huge event."
He continued: "I don't know that Brock, at this stage of his development as a Mixed Martial Artist, is one of the best guys but he certainly brings a lot to the table. He's a big, strong guy who poses some interesting problems."
