Did Randy Couture Beat Coleman?, Did Serra Top Trigg?; UFC 109 Results

UFC 109: Relentless, which served as the company’s annual Super Bowl weekend event, featured two intriguing veteran showcases.

The opening match was a battle of welterweights, pitting Matt Serra against Frank Trigg. Both had recently lost to more powerful opponents–Serra to Matt Hughes, Trigg to Josh Koscheck–so a win would prove crucial. Which fighter proved he was up for the challenge?

The main event featured UFC Hall of Famers Randy Couture and Mark Coleman doing battle at 205. With Couture and Coleman both coming off victories against younger fighters, the two had previously proven that they both should be taken seriously–but who would emerge most deserving of a credible reputation?

UFC 109 was not, however, merely a “senior league” event. The card also featured Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen in a match that was to determine the number one contender to the Middleweight Championship, Paulo Thiago vs. Mike Swick in a meeting of two dangerous welterweights and Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller in a middleweight clash of redemption.
