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.
