BloodyElbow is reporting that Randy Couture may plunge to 205 pounds to face Brandon Vera for the main event at UFC 105.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson left an open hole for the main event of the card when he signed on to play B.A. Baracus in the A-team movie remake, rendering his showdown with fellow TUF coach Rashad Evans an impossibility for the card and also irritating Dana White in the process. Randy Couture has often been called upon to inject his name recognition and immediate drawing power into any necessary HW or LHW scenario that the UFC sees fit, and it looks like he may once again prove to be the trusty old tool in the shed that they can always count on to get the job done.
Interestingly enough, the report also states that Couture accepted the idea of replacing Rampage in a bout versus Rashad, but Rashad declined the opportunity to face the legend.
