Randy Couture vs. Vitor Belfort
Breakdown
Vitor Belfort vs. Randy Couture
The age thing doesn't really matter here especially with the olympic pedigree of Couture. He has already beat Belfort in the past and I feel he goes back to that performance and pounds Belfort for a TKO victory.

Chuck Liddell vs. Vermon White
Breakdown
Chuck Liddell vs. Vernon White
Chuck has never looked better than against Ortiz and the title is so close he can taste it. Only way he loses is by looking past this fight but his striking and wrestling will just be too much for White to handle and White is no where near the same level of a martial artists. Liddell via KO to win.
