Brock Lesnar vs Randy Couture for the Heavyweight championship belt.

Couture returns to UFC, faces Lesnar - MMA - Yahoo! Sports

Yes i heard this , could be a classic.

Randy destroys Lesnar and I'm so glad, Lesnar was an ass in his last fight.

I'm calling it right now. Lesnar destroys Couture.

I have a feeling Lesnar Beats Randy also. Randy getting up there in age, he hasn't shown any sings of slowing down but it happens over night.

I'm on the fence about this one. Randy histroically had a hard time with big HWs (Ricco/Barnett) but he also beat Gonzaga and Sylvia pretty handily. Lesnar is bigger than all of those guys. While his technical skills are lacking his athleticism and wrestling are as good as it gets. At some point being 45 is going to matter. This might be the night where Captain America gets old. Too bad I'd much rather see Randy vs Nog or Fedor.

I see Lesnar handling Randy quite easily based on the same comments as Van.... Lesnar will take him down at will and I feel his reach will keep Randy at bay if the fight stays on foot until he can get the takedowns.. They are both very decorated wrstlers and I just see Brock being to much at this time


I always maintained that Randy would get smashed to pieces against Fedor, that fight dosent interest me at all... Fedor is to much class and skill were Randy is a blue collar grinder.. Fedor can do all of that plus sub you from any position with ease

think brock is going to get shown up here badly.

bit of a hater on him i will admit, if he does this ill give him props, but think randy fucks him up, then goes to figh fador.

I have a lot of respect for Couture as a fighter. He also showed in the past year that he isn't going to get bullied by that prick White. But this decision...both settling with UFC/Dana White and facing Lesnar...reeks of $$$ over pride and smarts. Not a fan of Lesnar at all...but he is young, big, and strong. Couture can certainly use his experience and superior skill to pull this out...but at his age he really is beginning to push his luck. That's why i laugh when people say Fedor vs. Couture would be a classic match...it wouldn't. It might have been several years ago...but i'm afraid Fedor really puts a hurting on Randy right now. I'm not going to hate on Randy for excepting the $$$ and swallowing his pride to come back to fight for UFC...afterall, it's hard to turn down big paydays and i'm sure in his mind he feels like he still can fight at a high level. But i have a sneaking suspicion that Dana White is going to be the last man laughing...he will get the exposure and $$$ from this fight...while Randy could potentially end his career on a sour note. I guess we shall see.

Lesnar Destroys Couture in 2 rounds, Just like he did the other two...... Mir got his ass whipped for 98.5% of the fight and got a cheap lucky ankle lock.

if you think that was a cheap lucky ankle lock then you don't know mma. What that shows is that lesnar is clueless in the submission game and don't think he's going to learn what it takes to take on couture in less than a year. his boxing is average. Also couture has never gotten tired in his fights so i think lesnar is going to get taught a lesson

I agree with you.. Couture is far too skilled i got him by submission...

Couture by submission! I think it great that Bock wants to prove he is more than just an entertainer, but I don’t think he should be allowed to walk in and start calling out title holders until he has proven himself.

frank mirs only game is submisions so of course lesnar looked like he was going to pound him to death until the submision happened and Herring is a fish, a dead one lol. they are not on the level of Couture.

Can anyone tell me the last time Couture subbed someone besides a rear naked choke or guillitone?

Lesnar for me all the way, Couture too old and inactive against a hungry oppo

just becouse couture hasn't needed to submit anyone doesn't mean he doesn't know how he's been in the game for a long long time. on the other hand I've been fighting for only 2 years and I've seen that there is more knowledge in mma than you can pick up in such a short period of time. Its rediculous that lesnar gets this fight after having only two fights.

doesn't matter. heath has been around the block and fought the best, yet lost badly. Lesnar got way over anxious against mir, and that's why he got subbed. Had he fought more controlled fight against mir, mir would have got beat badly too.

I'm telling all you fools right now, Brock will beat fedor within one year from the date of this post. :cool:

Dream on. Lesnar might beat a past prime Couture. But he would be facing an entirely different beast in Fedor. Aside from Fedor's tremendous physical strengths, he is as smart a fighter as there is. Lesnar for all of his raw physical gifts...is a blockhead.

we'll see

Heath is the worst fighter thats fought everyone that I've seen and von, lesnar was over anxious in that fight to. Von you are smoking better stuff than me if you think lesnar will beat fador. Have you seen fador fight?

yeah, I've seen them all fight.

you just wait and see. I'm predicting that lesnar, in a year or so, will be one of the best ever. The man is awesome.

I really feel like Dana is doing this to teach Randy a lesson for dicking around this past year with all the legal mumbo jumbo, Brock will punish him pretty bad

As far as Fedor goes , he is the man and will continue to be for quite sometime, whilst I apprecite your zeal for Lesnar, Von I think we need to See alot more of Brock as well as him being profecient in subs to even scratch the skill level of Fedor... Emelianko has heart, toughness and us battled tested time an again.. We shall see

Mark this post guys. Ok so Randy is old but is probably the best executor of a pre defined gameplan the sport has ever seen.

Randy knows Brock is a phenomenal athlete

Randy knows Brock is as strong as a beast

Randy knows Brock is a fantastic wrestler

Randy Knows Brock has power in abundance

Randy knows Brock will be more controlled in this fight than he was against Mir (where his over anxiousness and lack of respect from Mirs sub game i can only liken to a 15 year old lad being told by his sexy 30 year old teacher 'come fuk me')

What i am saying is Randy knows all these things and one way or another he will come up with some sort of gameplan to defeat this guy. Lets not forget, Brock is seriously inexperienced in the game. His use of the Octagon is no where near as good as it should be if you are going to fight Randy. Power and speed count for a lot but he will need bags more experience to do to Randy what he did to Herring. Don't get me wrong, i like herring and think he's a good fighter...but he's not at Randys skill level in either strategy or execution of gameplan either physically or mentally. Plus even with his younger years he is nowhere near the athlete Randy is.

In short, don't write Randy off. Its a tough one for him no doubt and picking against Brock is hard for some i appreciate. Plus Randy is 45 freakin years old

BUT

I am willing to bet rep or whatever that come fight night Randy will come out on top. I know, i know, maybe my heart is ruling some of my opinion but i have looked at it a little more objectively and i think Randy could do it. Tall order but i think he can win.

I can't frigging wait though!

Dana White is desperate for Brock to become his new star of UFC . Its no secret he doesnt get along with Randy and thats why he has made this fight so soon

I hope it backfires on him .

Clever move by Dana White. The hype is out there for Lesnar so rather than wait and see if he develops into a genuine force, he's throwing him in now.

Lesnar wins he's the realdeal, if he gets beat he can comeback again.

White is cashing in now on the relatively unproven Lesnar rather than waiting.

Deep down...White knows Fedor is the best fighter in the world (with all due respect to Anderson Silva). The fact that Fedor didn't act like a punk and sell himself out to UFC...drives White that much crazier. Even if Lesnar beats Couture...any knowledgable MMA fan still knows that Fedor is the best heavyweight in the world...and no one in the UFC can lay claim to that until they face and beat Fedor. It's appropiate that Dana White is trying to make a former WWF wrestler into his star...i always thought a low class sleazebag like Dana would have been better suited owner for WWF wrestling anyways.

randy wins, all his experience should help him put a stop to the supposably up in coming mma star

a longer fight will favor randy....lesnar will be very dangerous early on because of his tremendous strength....dirty boxing again will be the key..:)
