Short month, busy schedule

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it will be packed with a busy slate of fights on both the local and national scene.
On the national scene there will be UFC 109 and 110. UFC 109 will take place on Feb. 6 from Las Vegas, and UFC 110 is on Feb. 20 from Australia.
The feature matchup at UFC 109 has two legends of the sport going at it, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman.
The two were originally scheduled to fight way back at UFC 17 in 1998, but the bout was scratched due to an injury. The bout on Feb. 6 will be the first time two fighters already in the UFC Hall of Fame go against each other in the cage.
The main event for UFC 110 has veteran Minotauro Nogueria going up against young gun Cain Velasquez with the World Heavyweight Title on the line.
Nogueira is 32-5-1, while Velasquez comes in at 7-0.
There will also be plenty of action on the local scene.
On Feb. 6, the Xtreme Championship Fight League will have two title bouts in Marlboro, Mass. Chris Grandmaison will take on Saul Almeida for the featherweight championship, and Roger Brackett will face Alexandre Moreno for the light heavyweight title.
On Feb. 20, Cage Fighting Xtreme will be in Plymouth, Mass., and on Feb. 26, World Championship Fighting will be in Willmington, Mass.
