Hmm lets see. I would imagine that Nog would be the naturals next fight.

Oughta be a good fight. Nog is a tough SOB but he spends a lot of time in the guard, and the elbows aren't gonna help his situation there. Not to mention, Couture is still a nasty SOB himself. Look for a five round war in my opinion, with Couture winning, probably by split decision. Ought to be exciting, either way.

Yeah if Nog doesn't strike like he did against Herring then he'll be a good matchup. Good wrestler vs. good JJ guy.

I think Randy would win this but Nog is tough, and has great subs. He'd be a quality opponent.

I think the Vera vs. Sylvia winner should get Randy though. I'd love to see Vera vs. Couture for the belt. Almost like a passing of the torch if Vera could win.

I through picking against Randy...Big Nog's striking has gotten better, but not to the point where I'd say its going to make a big difference. I just don't see Randy getting caught in a sub, so I think he wins this with a UD.

Can you believe we are talking like this about a chap who is 44 years old and still competing at the top of his game. Thinking about it Joe Rogan is absolutely right. Randy is pretty much a freak.

As I've always said I love Randy. The guy is awesome and i am pretty high on him at the moment but always have been...not just for his fighting but for his overall persona and being a great role model for kids wanting to take up the sport.
Randy uses GnP and elbows to fantastic effect. lets be honest. he's a better fighter now than he ever was against Barnett (who i know he had trouble with but thought he was doing well until a moment of madness when he got the tables turned on him). Also Barnett was on roids and there was a reason he was stripped. Randy seems to have flourished in his later years. Unbelievable. I think if Barnett and Randy fought now it would be a very different fight.

The thing is with Randy he is so adaptable and can find a weakness in anyones game and then exploit it. I think fighters who come up against him now are worrying more about their own weakness and he exploiting them rather than they explotiting his.

Like Van i think Randy would take this with a UD, or maybe even a stoppage from heavy elbows. Nogs striking is pretty good but he looked off against Herring. Ok he got caught with a kick but something just didin't sit right. And like Van said i think Randy is just too smart to be caught in a sub...either way its a mouth watering fight that i can't wait to happen.

I know I should learn my lesson and NOT choose against Randy but this is the one time I will. I just downloaded Nog's career and after having seen alot of both guys,I think Nog wins in a tight affair,on points. UD or SD. I just think he has a better ground game than Randy and has improved his stand up too.

barnett actually was saying he really wants to fight coture after he heard dana white or someone call him unbeatrable after the gonzaga fight, i think barnett could beat him, barnett is ALOT better at striking then he was back in the day and his youth will only give him an advantage on the ground, he is as good a wrestler as coture and a fuckload younger, though coture doesnt seem to ever get tired anyway
