Steve Cofield: the UFC Is Holding a Press Conference Tomorrow to Announce the Return of Randy Couture

Steve Cofield reports that the UFC is holding a press conference tomorrow at noon PT:

After 11 months of fighting in the courts it looks like the UFC and Randy Couture have buried the hatchet. The promotion is holding a press conference on Tuesday at Noon PT to announce a new deal with the heavyweight champion.

Couture is expected to face Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 in Portland in what could be the biggest pay-per-view show in the UFC’s history.

Let’s cross our fingers and hope nothing falls apart. This is potentially the beginning of a very big run for the UFC and MMA in general.

UPDATE (from Luke Thomas): Here’s the press release I received:

Las Vegas, NV (USA) – Dana White, President, Ultimate Fighting Championship® will hold a media conference call today to make a major UFC® announcement.  The conference call will take place today, Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 3pm ET/12Noon PT.
