i’ve always wanted to watch that fight ever since i read about it in Couture’s book . those two are great wrestlers , great athletes . Couture knew he was going to be put on his back and he was prepared .he always studied his opponents and had a plan . that’s why he was the greatest .

I agree w/ some of the comments mentioned. who the hell can question randy? he’s one of the best! period!at his age he’ll kick the asses of those guys giving bad comments using just his toe. they have no clue what there talking about and the commitment you have to give to be a part of mma.

The reason Couture doesn’t have a better record is because he’s always taking on the most difficult opponents rather than just worrying about his record: Belfort, Smith, Liddell, Randleman, Rizzo, Barnett, Liddell, Ortiz, Sylvia, Gonzaga, Lesnar. Which of these fights was easy? He’s also expressed a desire to fight Fedor on a number of occasions. Oh, and by the way, is there anyone else who started their career when others were generally going into decline or retirement?

you can knock randy ,but bottom line is he’s 5 times world champ and history shows he seems to always win the big fights by wearing his opponent down. Can he do it again? I think if he can take lenar past second round the big lummox will gas big time,We’ll see

Randy already ducked Fedor in Bodog, or so the rumour goes. I don’t believe he’s ducking him now per say, he’s just lookng for the biggest pay days he can get while he can get ‘em.

Randy’s win-loss record is fairly average by top fighter standards. His fame comes from winning every fight he was supposed to lose. His record when he is the favorite or when the odds are fairly even is average at best.

As for Fedor, the fight won’t happen in the UFC b/c Fedor has zero interest in fighting in the UFC. When you fight for the UFC you’re automatically locked into the contract if you become champion. You can only leave if you lose. They also own rights to your image. Basically, the fighter is at the whim of UFC management, yet the UFC can terminate the contract at any time for any reason.

The TUF show was the best thing that ever happened to the UFC, not only b/c of ratings and exposure, but it gave them a medium to sign fighters who are hungry to make it big for very little and to lock them into their contracts if they become stars.

Randy is not ducking Fedor. What Randy is doing is brilliant, he’s going to honor after brock his last two fights and take on Fedor. He won’t take on Fedor in the UFC, he doesn’t want them taking the money. He wants affliction to take it. He is going to get big bucks when that fight happens. I’m not particular a fan of Randy, but I know from a business stand point, he wants that money with Fedor. He dodged Nogueira though no doubt, but it could of also been just anger.

I know Numbers don’t mean skill but… I mean what is this man 12-8, I think he is the only one in the UFC with this kind of record.

I agree with everyone who said Randy is over-rated.

I would also agree that he is ducking fedor. Leaves the UFC for multiple reasons, and then once fedor runs through Tim, and the ufc has a HW belt **** up (ie 2 belts) he is hoping that he won’t have to fight Nog, and he knows that UFC will never set-up a fedor fight.

Now Randy and Dana are trying to say the Fedor is running from the UFC HAHAHHA! The fight was so close and Randy ducked….

Brock = a faster, stronger, 50lbs bigger, version of Randleman. We’ll see if Randy can come up with some sort of plan to take him down, but I just dont see the clinch working for Randy like it did in this fight.
