were really gonna see whether kosheck can cut it against the best
and whether georges st pierre is damaged goods. i think if kosheck
can make it close it wont matter if he loses, he will still raise his stock

That is why I am going to buy that PPV; the main event is a bonus. If Sanchez is fighting Sakurai, that is another bonus. I can't wait to see if Georges St. Pierre is fired up and the true champion at 170.

I really hope Gonzaga doesn't put randy back into retirement, or worse yet, a retirement home. Gonzaga looks like one of those guys who will submit you only if they get tired of rearranging your face. Though randy is very smart, this fight definitely has to be very difficult to prepare for mentally. I wonder what randy's plan is for Gonzaga?

Looking forward to this match more then almost any others in my mma life.

My heart says Couture but my mind says Gonzaga.

I don't see any area where Couture is better than Gonzaga except experience. If I had to bet I'd take Gonzaga 2nd round stoppage.

Couture is bigger than Gonzaga. Just watch the vid when he stepped into the ring after Gonzaga KTFO'D Filipovic.

For the 2nd time Couture isnt bigger than Gonzaga knumb nuts
Couture is 6'2 220 lbs.
Gonzaga is 6'1 242lbs.
If your talking height wise 1 inch aint ****. Couture is one of the smaller HW's. It dont really matter who is bigger anyways, Tim Silvia dwarfed Couture and Couture still beat him for 5 rounds.
