Randy Couture v Lyoto Machida is all set for UFC 129, according to MMA Fighting.

The April 30 fight has been in the works for some time, after Couture stated he would only prolong his MMA career in order to fight one of Machida or Mauricio Shogun Rua.

Machida has got the nod for the bout, which takes place in Toronto. UFC 129 will mark the UFC's first venture into Ontario, and president Dana White always likes to shower debut destinations with a host of top fights.

Georges St-Pierre v Jake Shields will headline the event, and White has now confirmed that Couture v Machida is "a done deal".
