LAS VEGAS, NV, April 13 /PRNewswire/ - Sportsbook.com Team Quest members Randy "The Natural" Couture and Matt "The Law" Lindland will face top-rated opponents at UFC 52 in Las Vegas on April 16, 2005.

The Official Fight Card features 8 high-octane match-ups including 'Couture vs. Liddell 2'. In this highly anticipated rematch, Chuck Liddell will challenge Randy Couture for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in the evening's main event.

Also on the April 16 fight card, Sportfight CEO and Team Quest member Matt 'The Law' Lindland will fight Travis Lutter.
