A light heavyweight matchup between UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture (17-10 MMA, 14-7 UFC) and Mark Coleman (16-9 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is in the works for UFC 109.

Sherdog.com was the first to report that the two former UFC heavyweight champions have verbally agreed to the contest.

If signed, the bout will take place on Feb. 6 in Las Vegas.

Coleman debuted for the UFC in 1997 and earned the UFC 10 tournament title with wins over Don Frye, Gary Goodridge and Moti Horenstein. "The Hammer" also holds significant career wins over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Allan Goes, Igor Vovchanchyn, Kazuyuki Fujita and Dan Severn.

The soon-to-be-44-year-old Coleman left the UFC in 1999, but he returned to the organization in 2009. The Ohio native dropped his first bout to Rua in January, though he earned a unanimous-decision win over "The Ultimate Fighter 1" finalist Stephan Bonnar at July's UFC 100 event.

Couture's career briefly overlapped Coleman's after "The Natural" debuted at UFC 13 in 1997. The pair was scheduled to meet at UFC 17 in 1998, but a Couture injury forced the cancellation of the bout.

While Couture fought six times outside of the UFC, "Captain America" has spent the majority of his career inside the octagon. Couture fought most recently at this past weekend's UFC 105 event in the U.K., and he earned a hotly contested unanimous decision win over Brandon Vera.

The contest is expected to take the co-feature slot on the UFC 109 card, though it could certainly take top billing if Anderson Silva's rehabilitation process prevents a planned contest with Vitor Belfort from taking place

Lookinh to be a pretty solid card, be interesting to see Renzo v Hughes, but i'm thinking the Couture/Coleman match up could be a bit of a snooze fest

Jason Mc

Top drawer card

3 fights well worth watching at the very least

I think Couture V Coleman could be a great fight, two huge guys at LHW.

I think this a great card:

Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)*
I don't really wanna see Silva lose but it would be nice to know he's still human:pac:

•Mark Coleman vs. Randy Couture*
I still worry about Randy destroying his own legacy by going on too long but I think he'll have an answer for anything coleman can throw at him.

•Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller*
Was disappointed to see Maia knocked out in his last fight, he's a great fighter, one of the few who still make the ground game entertaining (dustin hazelett also). Hope he picks up a win.

•Renzo Gracie vs. Matt Hughes*
I don't want to see Matt Hughes put away two Gracies but should be a good fight.

and Matt the Terra Serra! what more could you want!:D

It won't be far off as the Superbowl weekend card is one of the biggest of the year

Woah what a (potential) card. Actually cant pick a boring fight there. Randy/Coleman maybe, could be quick too though.
