Who will win??

VOTE

I will never count Randy out, if he was fighting any other big heavyweight, I would say Randy wins no sweat, but he is facing a guy that is 40-45 lbs heavier then him and knows the same thing that made Randy so deadly, wrestling, but I still got Randy winning just on experience alone, but win or lose Randy is coming out of this fight HURT BADLY...thats what I think.

i see randy grinding this one out and winning in the later rounds by tko.

looking forward to saturday night.

Couture via TKO.

It has to be this way.

Couture should stop him but I can't say I would be surprised if Lesnar won.

Randy is too old and has been inactive for more than a year.

I think it will be a very boring fight if it lasts more than a round.

Im thinking couture.

bad matchup for Randy. i wouldn't count him out, but i think Lesnar has alot of advantages in this fight. Lesnar will be much bigger and probably faster than couture as well.

it'll be interesting to see who gets the takedown first. we haven't seen Brock on his back so we don't know how he will react. on the other hand, randy isn't that great off his back either. randy should have the edge on technical striking, but if Lesnar hits him like he hit Herring, i dont' think randy gets up.

i think the first round will be a kind of a cautious round with not much damage done on either side. then in the 2nd i see Lesnar taking randy down and finishing with ground n pound

Hard to say, but right now I am guessing Lesnar winning by a punchers chance (TKO via Ground and Pound).

This is really a hard fight to call.
Lesnar hasn't been hit flush with anything yet.
But he's fast and strong.
I can see Randy landing a right hand like he did
to Silvia in the 1st round.
I can also see Lesnar wadding Randy up like a paper towel.

Can't call it. I'm just going to watch and see..........

I'm finding it hard to call it.

I am a fan of Lesnar. The guy is a beast, he's going to enter in at 265 pounds but like a lot of other people say, he moves around like a guy weighing 100 pounds less.

Will Couture be able to handle having a guy as big and powerful as Lesnar on him?

Then again Randy Couture isn't the only five-time champion in UFC history for nothing. I have a feeling that if Randy wins, it will be similar to the way Frank Mir beat Brock at the start of the year, taking advantage of an opening left by an inexperienced fighter and making it count.

An intriguing thing about the two fighters is that they are both fantastic wrestlers. I'm not sure, but has Randy ever been up against someone with better wrestling skills than himself? Brock might be that guy.

If I was forced to make a decision I'd say Lesnar by TKO. I think his brute force will count for a lot against a 45 year old.

Brock By TKO.
2 big 2 strong an his wrestling is better then coutures.
should b a great fight.

there both white wlad.. this ur type of fight

i see the Randy neutralizing most of Brock's attacks in the 1st round but taking some brutal punishment in the process. Brock is like Vitor.......if you can outlast his explosive 1st round attacks then he'll gas and he's all yours- providing you're a good finisher, which Randy is. so come mid 2nd round i see Randy beginning to dismantle him for an eventual 3rd round TKO.


but this could be like Ivan Drago vs. Apollo Creed and that would really suck to see Randy torn to shreds after all that he's accomplished.

If Brock gets stuck with a decent punch, he will fold like paper. I promise.

Randy would hafta be insane to trade with him in the 1st round.

but, then again, i've said that about a lot of strategies that Randy's done and he usually proves me wrong...

In this fight you will see what happens when a big wrestler fights a very big wrestler. Brock should be too big, too strong and too explosive for him.

Randy will put on a brave fight for sure, but i see Lesnor doing some dammage in the 3rd round, then the ref jumps in.

Could be a little like Coleman v Frye from UFC 10.

The Natural!

just out of curiousity, what makes you think Lesnar will gas???

I hope Brock Lesnar wins by ko but i fear that the fight will go to the ground and Randy wins a submission

go brock!

just out of curiousity, what makes you think Lesnar will gas???

cause he's gonna go ape**** in the first round. i don't think he'll gas as bad as Vitor but i do think he'll be out of tricks if he finds himself on the ground after the first round.

Fedor beats them both!:boxing:

To me it looks like Brock is trying to steal Randy's thunder so he can take his place for the big Fedor match up in the near future. I guess he figures if he beats Randy then people will want to see him take on Fedor instead. Smart business decision on his part, but very risky.

He just wants the big pay day.

as would anyone but he'd hafta go through either Nog or Mir first and i really don't see him beating either of them ever.

I think the first 2 rounds Brock will give Couture some trouble. Take him down. Yet because of his inexperience, he won't be able to do anything on the ground. I then see Couture taking the fourth round by strategically picking and choosing his shots. Looking for the opening shot when Brock isn't defending well. I then see a very difficult take-down by Couture and he takes the round. Then in the fifth round I see Couture totally handling Lesnar by landing good and picking the right ones to land. I think he can eventually get the TKO because Lesnar's blown out energy. Remember guys...Couture does very well with bigger guys and he's shown how much he can take control when he's the smaller one. Size is good if it's used to ones advantage. I think it will be a great match-up. Couture will take this one...

He's used to that though, I'm sure Lesnar got paid more during his time in WWE. The man is a true competitor, clearly he wants to fight the best right away.

But anyways this is a tough fight to call, for me at least. As people mentioned Couture does well fighting bigger guys. Then again Lesnar is not like other bigger guys, he knows how to use his size & strength to his advantage.

thats a good point. i just remembered the herring fight and how brock didnt do much besides lay on top. unless that was his gameplan for that fight?? i doubt it, but who knows...
i dont think randy will cover up like herring did.
as long as randy can last the initial ground and pound, then i see him winning in one of later rounds. tko

Couture wide UD about 49-46

Brock weighed in at 265lbs
Randy weighed in at 220lbs

Heart says randy, head says Lesnar.

I really want Randy to win but I seriously can't seein him pulling of this one. I think Brock will win inside 4.

Brock By TKO.
2 big 2 strong an his wrestling is better then coutures.
should b a great fight.

Couture's wrestling >>> Brock Lesnar's wrestling.

Unless you mean WWE..

Randy wins early 2nd round as Brock gasses and Randy just lays down a beatin!It's man vs boy here imo.......I just wish I had more than 200$ to bet on Randy!!!

randy will win by submission in the late rounds. lesnar is very strong and fast but he makes rookie mistakes, a couple times i saw where he could have finished herring he hesitated and let him off the hook. brock will dominate early but when he sees the old man isn't going away he's going to get frustrated, start rushing things, make a rookie mistake. randy will submit him

Randy Couture-3 time olympic alternate thats really impressive but his age is playing a large part in my better wrestling prediction.
brocks bigger stronger and more explosive there is no way couture's gonna stop all of brocks take down attempts or out grapple lesnar.
