Liddell has insane take-down defence though.. he's probably one of the best around at keeping the fight standing, and couture knew that. Can you say the same for Toney? you can't learn in sixth months how to defend against a accomplished wrestler who's been at it for decades.

That said, i'm still going with Toney. He isn't stupid. He knows he isn't going to have it all his own way and he's adapting and learning.. there were even some rumours he tapped out 'king mo', the strikeforce light-heavyweight champion, which if is true, shows Toney is definitely learning a few new tricks. I don't think couture has enough physicality about him to literally push Toney against the cage either, so I don't think we'll see that.
