– Former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture gives Raw Vegas the lowdown on a possible match-up between he and 2006 PRIDE Grand Prix champion Mirko Filipovic.

Filipovic is rumored to be returning to the UFC and would be a great asset to the promotion as they attempt to make a splash in their inaugural foray into Germany. "Cro Cop" is a huge star in Germany due in part to the countries close proximity to Cro Cop's native Croatia.

Rumors have put a date for the UFC's German debut, UFC 99, at June 13.

If this is the case, it's unlikely that Couture would have enough time for a full eight week camp. The UFC hall-of-famer is currently filming a new Sylvester Stallone action movie that will take him into May, making a full camp impossible.

Dates haven't yet been etched in stone however, and the possibility remains that a fight between the two could take place. If the UFC is looking at Filipovic as a one and done proposition they'll likely push the Croatian into a high profile match up and attempt to milk him for what he has left.

If, however, the promotion believes that Filipovic can recapture the magic that once made him an elite, top five heavyweight, they'd be more likely to put him in against a fighter with less experience and allow him to become more familiar with the cage and ease his way into his second UFC go-round.
