Saturday, August 25, 2007 - Mandalay Bay Events Center,
Las Vegas - USA
UFC 74 "RESPECT" is yet another incredible lineup with the heavyweight Championship
on the line and two of the greatest all-time fighters alive. First off, the Championship
Main Event will be headlined with the two highly respected heavyweights,
Randy "The Natural" Couture taking on Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga. Next, Georges "Rush"
St-Pierre will look to redeem himself against one of his toughest opponents yet, Josh "Kos" Koscheck.
Randy "The Natural" Couture is coming off a gigantic win over the former Champ Tim Sylvia.
Randy completed dominated the 6'8" giant to gain the heavyweight title in UFC 68. This
will be his toughest fight yet! During UFC 57, Couture lost to Chuck Liddell by knock out.
Randy Couture is 44 years old; weighs 220 lbs. and stands at 6'2". He is fighting out of
Las Vegas, Nevada. He holds a MMA record of 15-8-0. He is a great wrestler and dangerous
in the clinch.
Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga is strong as an ox! He is a very dangerous ground fighter and
kick boxer, he will knock anyone senseless. Gonzaga delivered Mirko Cro Cop his first
loss during UFC 70. He knocked him out with one high kick to the head in the first round!
Gabriel Gonzaga has an 8-1-0 MMA record. He is 4-0 in the Octagon over the past 2 years.
Gonzaga is 28 years old; weighs 242 lbs. and stands at 6'1". He is fighting out of Ludlow,
Massachusetts.
Renato “Babalu” Sobral will meet David Heath (7-1) in a light heavyweight showdown at
UFC 74: “Respect” on August 25.
Heath is coming off his first career loss, dropping a unanimous decision to the
often frustrating Ryoto Machida at UFC 70 in April. Prior to that bout, Heath was
on a two-fight UFC win streak, besting Victor Valimaki at UFC Fight Night 7 (split-decision)
and Corey Walmsley at UFC 62 (submission).
Babalu is also in search of redemption, looking to put an end to a two-fight losing streak.
Before the skid, which included consecutive losses to Chuck Liddell and Jason Lambert,
the Brazlian grappler was on a ridiculous 10-fight, three-year win streak.
He was once at the top of the 205-pound division, and now he finds himself in a must-win
situation against a hungry and talented Heath.
