It looks like two of the more highly decorated and respected veterans of the UFC will meet in the Octagon as Randy Couture and Mark Coleman have verbally agreed to a bout at UFC 109 on February 6; the news was initially reported by Sherdog.

In his last fight, Coleman earned a unanimous decision over Stephan Bonnar at UFC 100 while Couture escaped with a win over Brandon Vera at UFC 104. Both fighters will be facing each other professionally for the first time; however, they did meet once in a tournament back in 1989, in which Coleman defeated Couture by a single point.
