Here is the official UFC 74 fight card. Expect this card to be updated as more fights are officially announced.
- Randy Couture vs Gabriel Gonzaga
- Josh Koscheck vs Georges St Pierre
- Kurt Pellegrino vs Joe Stevenson
- Kendall Grove vs Patrick Cote
Randy Couture vs Gabriel Gonzaga is for the heavyweight title. Couture won the belt by defeating Tim Sylvia in a 5 round decision, while Gabriel Gonzaga KO'd Mirko Cro Cop near the end of the first round of their bout.
Josh Koshcheck vs Georges St Pierre is a title eliminator, in other words the guy who wins this fight will fight the eventual winner of Matt Serra and Matt Hughes. Serra is the current welterweight champion, he won the belt with a first round TKO victory of Georges St Pierre. St Pierre was heavily favoured in that match.
If Joe "Big Daddy" Stevenson wins his bout with Kurt Pellegrino you can expect some title shot talk afterwards, but he'll have to wait until BJ Penn vs Sean Sherk is over with...this assuming that BJ Penn wants a shot at the lightweight title.
Patrick Cote is looking to work his way back into contention while undefeated (in the UFC) Grove is working toward the exact same goal. I expect this fight to be a close match.
