Jim Ross/Brock Lesnar, Ric Flair Update, ESPN
– Jim Ross comments about the upcoming Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Couture fight in his latest blog entry. J.R. writes: "Informed sources have told me that Couture wants to have three more fights in the UFC and then retire. Couture will give up approximately 50 pounds to Lesnar come fight time which makes the 5 rounder especially intriguing." You can read the full entry here.
– Shawn Roddy sent this in: ESPN's Pardon The Interruption yesterday gave a very nice tribute to Killer Kowalski, talking about how he got his nickname, wrestling for the title in the late fifties, becoming a vegetarian, getting married for the first time at 79 years old, etc. It was the best 30-45 second tribute that I have ever heard anyone on ESPN give a pro wrestler.
– Footage of Ric Flair arriving at a meeting in Los Angeles was featured on the TMZ TV show over the weekend. He looked healthy and well-dressed as always.
