Couture v. Lesnar

Who is watcing and who ya got.

It's always tempting to pick against the Natural when he's facing someone who is younger, Bigger, Faster, Stronger than he is. But this guy is a fighter and the champ for a reason. I'm sticking with him to walk out of the octagon victorious and this will probably be Lesnar's last fight in the UFC until he can prove he belongs in MMA elsewhere.

When Lesnar delivers the F-5 and destroys the ring, we shall know.nowayguy

Still hung up on the WWE days, uh? ;-) . I´ll pick Lesnar on this one. Randy is great and i respect every inch of him, but somehow i think Lesnar is gonna come on top. Call it a hunch, i don´t know.

Brock Lesnar deaf. Randy Couture.

A lot of people see Randy as an old guy, which why they always get punched and knocked on their @$$ and his excellent wrestling skills allows him to take down and control all of his opponents. That being said, Brock Lesnar is also an excellent wrestler, and with his height it will be easier for him to out-wrestle Randy. and with Brock still early in his career, he's not gonna underestimate any opponent otherwise it will be career suicide. 

Technically Couture isn't the champ. The UFC needs to give it up with this interim crap. Yes he WAS the champ, but he walked away and didn't defend his title. The official UFC champ is Nogueira.

As much as I want Lesnar to win, his 2 fights in the UFC weren't against anyway who would take him to the limit and teach him things. Mirr had a surprise submission on him, and Herring is struggling. He's never faced a Couture caliber fighter before, and Randy just has too much experience to let lesnar throw him around. Couture's going to win this in round 1 it will be quick. And I don't like either of them so that's unbias.

I think the UFC is getting boring as hell though. They are scripting it so poorly, and the drama is a joke. It's getting very close to Pro Wrestling now. It peaked 2 years ago.

You are only comparing this to WWE because Brock Lesner is in the fight. How can you compare a sport to a male soap opera.

No I compare it because of the drama, and them trying to setup storylines to their fights. I was saying this long before Lesnar went to the UFC, it has nothing to do with him.

And this will be the first card I'll be buying in over a year. I don't pay to watch a bunch of Ultimate Fighter rejects. They need to axe that show. Winning means nothing anyhow, they all make it to the UFC somehow anyway.

I thought this was a "Couture v. Lesnar" thread? I guess we MMA fans are dying for places to talk! lol!

So like Dr. Dre said...'Back to the topic at hand'...

I had figured Lesner would win, even before I received some "insider info" which sealed my belief, won me $50, and which i will divuldge later.

I have alot respect for Couture and his ability but Lesner's a beast and is actually an accomplished wrestler and athlete. Lesner barely made weight and was prabably a lot heavier fight night so I believed Couture might have a chance to submit him early.

BUT...

Friday the night before the fight, a good friend of mine gets a call from his wife, who happened to be at a club in Vegas. She tells him of this guy who asks her and her friends to sit at his table, she says no and they proceed ot walk away. Another guy comes up and says, "How dare you say, 'No' to him! That's Randy Couture. He's fighting tomorrow!" She says, 'So.' and walks away. She does not watch MMA or anything like it.

Even if you're a well trained machine, at age 45, the body doesn't tend to recover from a night of partying to easily. Instantly I knew "Stamina" was going to be a problem. In the ground, if he was going to have to battle a beast 50 or more pounds heavier all night that would be too much. While standing, the hands would come down and leave an opening for a clean strike to get through. Once the call was made, it was off to "The Book"!
