November 15th - 10PM EST.

Its about time Randy "The Natural" Couture came back.

Who do you anticipate winning?

I wonder what Tito Ortiz is going to do now that Elite XC filed for bankruptcy after Kimbo took a beating.

I don't even think brocks that good of a fighter. He's just a big corn fed mufucka. Did you guys hear his speech after he beat the Texas crazy horse? "I rode that stallion all the way into town!" Whatta douche. He's just big, and strong.

I hope Cotoure makes him his bitch.

brock is just bigger. i want cotoure to win. i wanna see him make lesnar bleed.. lesnar is huge and twice as strong. but cotoure is a better striker and his ground game is better. so its a toss up

I think your underestimating him. I mean he is big and strong, but he is also a national champion collegiate wrestler. He's also learning quick, watch the first fight and the 2nd fight of his, big difference. I'll go with Lesnar to upset the old guy.

I really want Couture to win. The size difference is rediculous, but he beat the shit out of Sylvia to win the title last time...

Speaking of title, this is a NON title match, correct? It sure as hell should be. Lesnar isnt even close to deserving a title shot.

Yeah, he's got the wrestling experience/titles and you're right, there is a big difference between his first and second fight. However, (to me) the only reason he won that second fight is because he landed a good punch with his bowling ball sized fist. I didnt see much skill involved. Very aggressive, wild swinging. Although he is a quick learner, certain arts (such as jiu Jitsu) take YEARS to get good at. I have a feeling he's gonna get tapped out. Again.

Agreed. With 2 UFC fights under his belt, it would be a slap in the face to the veterans.

However, Couture is a lot better in jits then Lesner. In the stand up game Couture is also better then Lesner. If you notice Lesner first fight with Mir he threw a lot of punches but none of them really landed. Most of his punches were hitting Mir's arms. Another big aspect is I don't think Lesner has enough gas in the tank. If you look at the Herring fight her was getting tired by the beginning of the third round. He couldn't even finish Herring. Couture on the other hand will fight for days.

With a fighter as big and powerful as brock lesnar you cant really predict the fight with much accuracy. its like kimbo, inexperienced but strong, but i doubt lesnar could go 5 rounds with couture.

Lesnar is really quick for a guy who weighs 260. He's stronger, bigger and has a well respected wrestling background, but strategy and stamina will win this one. Couture is king of exposing his opponent's weakness and enduring hard hits therefore...the Natural will take it tonight

DrivenMind
11-15-2008, 11:07 AM
I'm going with Couture on this one. Not just because I think he's a better fighter, but because he has such a respectful attitude. This sport is filled with shit talking, egotistical maniacs, and brainless brawlers, I always have more respect for someone who's willing to think a fight out, and not take it personally.

I'm still dying to see Couture take on Fedor Emelianenko, although if it takes much longer, Randy's age is going to catch up with him.

Anderson Silva would take em both out so it's a moot point lmao. Can't beat his deadly accuracy. Chris Leben/Silva fight is the most dominating fight I've ever seen, pretty sure every punch he threw hit Leben dead on.

lesnar is probably going to take it.. can't really say it for sure but size advantage and quick wrestling back ground will get the old guy on the floor... but if lesnar doesn't do damage then couture will take it if this match goes beyond the 2 round..

Brock has been training MMA for 3-4yrs, so I'd say that that's plenty of time to get to learn the ropes to compete in a shallow UFC HW division. Josh Koscheck, who had the same NCAA D1 background, fought in the UFC with less training time, and he's fighting in MMA's DEEPEST division (with success nonetheless). Anyway, if you watched the Herring fight, you would see that he baited him in with a left hand, and then threw the right that landed on Herring. That takes SKILL, and only from someone ho has been working his stand up game. Also, his BJJ has come along pretty well, but he doesn't just train BJJ. I know people that train with him, and while he basically had Comprido (7 time BJJ world champ) living with him, he also trains with CSW, which is Paulson, and Barnett respectively. Do you think Josh Barnett practices BJJ? LOL, he wouldn't be caught dead doing that. They use catch wrestling, which is just as good as BJJ. Look no further than Barnett who is probably one of, if not THE best submission guy in the HW division, and top 5 HW at that. Nick Thompson, who is another top MMA fighter, said that the BJJ black belts that are rolling with Brock aren't tapping him anymore, and are getting tapped THEMSELVES now. BJJ make take years to learn, but he doesn't need to train with the GI on. NO GI is the wave of the future, and me personally, after training with Eddie Bravo, I can see that plain as day. So the stuff Brock is learning, position before submission, is all he needs to know. Either way, I've been doing BJJ for years now, and the one thing I've noticed is that a GOOD, heavier, stronger, wrestler, can neutralize my game, especially a D1 wrestler.

Next, why does everyone think that Randy is gonna tap Brock? Who the hell has Randy ever submitted? Mike Van Arsdale? It took him 3 minutes to apply an anaconda choke for fucks sake! Randy's sub game sucks ass. Even Randy said his submission game isn't good. I will admit that anything is within the realm of possibility, but that's the last way I'd pick Randy to win. TKO from strikes would be first, followed by a decision win, then MAYBE a sub, where he softens Brock up with strikes.

On a side note, why is everyone so bent outta shape about Brock getting a title fight with 3 fights under his belt? There was another fighter I remember, who got a title fight after 4 pro fights, and no one complained, and his name was BJ Penn. Brock gets all this WWE hate, it's so ridiculous.

With all this said, I still give Randy an edge, but some of the shit said in this thread is so far from the truth, it's not even funny. Herring didn't get finished, so what? Who has finished Herring? Nog didn't do it, hell the only way Fedor did it, was from a cut stoppage! Herring is NOT easy to finish. Brock has a ways to go, and he's in deeper water with Randy, but while I pick Randy to win, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Brock kicked his ass.

Where are all the Brock shit talkers now? He just steamrolled the champ. All I kept hearing is "he can't take a punch", CHECK..did that and then some. "He'll get eaten alive in the stand up", CHECK..he tooled Randy and almost had him finished on more than one occasion before he the ACTUAL finish. "Randy will beat his ass up in the clinch", CHECK..He was the one who totally halted Randy's game. Brock is no Kimbo Slice. Kimbo sucks and has no ability, Brock is an actual ATHLETE, with a pretty good skill set now. Take a look boys, your new UFC HW champ is Brock Lesnar (and yes, he was a WWE champ too).

Yeah, the shot was "weak", sure. Spoken like someone whose never trained a day in his life. It landed right behind his ear man. That's an immediate LIGHTS OUT, for a flash KO. Nevermind the 30 hammerfists on the ground that he didn't answer to, right after he landed the punch. I figured someone would try to discredit Brock's win, just because they're all mad that Randy lost. Jeez.

WTF are you babbling about? WTF does what "Randy's done for the sport" have to do with the fact that he got TKO'd last night? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! You're sitting here claiming that Brock didn't even hit him, yet it's plain as day, and even Randy admitted to getting caught! Why is it such a fucking hard pill to swallow? I mean, Randy came to terms with it, so you should too! BTW, Randy is NOT the best in the business either. That title belongs to Fedor, BJ Penn, or GSP. Nice reach with the steroid thing. Too bad he's passed EVERY single drug test that's ever been given to him. He is the exact same size he was when he left college and won his NCAA title. You do know they test there too, right? I can't believe people are still accusing him of steroids after he passes ALL the drug tests, even the random ones administered during training by the NSAC. Yet people like Royce, Baroni, Sherk, Barnett, Silva, Bonnar, Franca, Leben, etc, all FAIL miserably when given the exact same tests! Seriously, the excuses are getting really lame. Randy got beat by the BETTER fighter. That's all there is to it.

I am still a Couture fan and "Brock hater" despite the results of last nights fight. Randy got caught, yes. Just like Cro Cop got caught by his own trademark move by Gonzaga. It happens to the best of them.

However, Brocks second fight was crap. He displayed little "skill" besids wrestling. He swung wildly and when he got a break, used his weight and hammered down. Its the same thing he did in this fight vs Couture.

He's just a big dude that knows how to use his size to his advantage. But yes, he won, fair and square.

You've officially labeled yourself as an MMA new with the above statement. You have absolutely NO knowledge of the history of the sport. Pride wasn't around until WAY later. Also, most people didn't "start" in Pride you retard. Pride was formed by Japan Pro Wrestling, and the guys that YOU see today that competed there, fought Vale Tudo, Pancrase, etc. Don't try to school me. Unlike you, I actually have been in the gym for years training with many of these guys, before anyone even knew who they were. Where the fuck do you train at? Please tell me. I would LOVE to hear this.

He displayed little skill? The punch he hit Herring with was a STRAIGHT punch, not a wild hook in the middle of a frenzy. In fact, it was set up by a fainted jab. How about checking leg kicks, and throwing his own? Please don't bring up CC either. He's not the same fighter since his UFC debut. He didn't just get caught. He was getting dominated the entire fight before that kick even landed, much like he was getting dominated by Alistair Overeem during his fight at DREAM just a month or so ago.

Yes, because a STRAIGHT punch set up by a jab takes a lot of skill and is in no way the basic fundamentals of amateur striking.

I agree, he is not the same fighter he was during his UFC debut. He's gotten better. However, IN MY OPINION, compared to other fighters n UFC without the size/strenght advantage hes's got... I don't think he's that good of a fighter. Hes got excellent wrestling. Thats all i really see in him.

Key words: "in my opinion" meaning.. this is not a debate nor an e-pissing contest.

Fast and Furious boy? Grow up kiddo. The quoted matierial was an example to help you better understand what I was trying to portray since you couldnt grasp the concept of my post the first time around.

"Brock is the best UFC" is an opinion. He won last night. IN MY OPINION, on paper (since he holds the title) he is the best, yes.... however, compared to the Couture, Liddell, Silva etc etc, he still has a bunch of fights to win before he can be considered "the best".

Hmm.. I like Brock, but he is definitely not the "best" in UFC. I picked him over Couture, but as I said earlier in this thread, they would both get there ass handed to them by Anderson Silva, who is in a lighter weight class. So ya, he's good and he definitely deserved that win, but the "best"? Nahhhh

"Although professional wrestling superstar Kurt Angle will compete against UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture in a submission grappling match later this year, don't expect Angle to immediately follow in fellow professional wrestler Brock Lesnar's footsteps -- at least not yet."

Also Brock has size and strength but in time and experience he is going to be really unstoppable.. he is 31 and still has alot to learn

I agree with that. :goodjob:

Not to sound like a nuthugger but lesnar is the man. MMA's first genuine superstar. I think the best thing for the sport was for him to win the title, and in the way he did. All you people will love lesnar in a years time. It's funny watching all the haters eat it.

Shamrock.. tito.. and the list goes on in every sport.

I totally agree with you...Brock doesnt show the skill of a true MMA fighter...All he has going for him is his wrestling and strength...I hated seeing Couture lose but it happens to the best...I like Couture cause he fights from the heart...

LOL. Really? Like Coleman, Randleman, Hughes, Sherk, and I could name a dozen others. ALL WRESTLERS, who used NOTHING but their wrestling skill to win fights. I'm still trying to find out what everyone is looking for skill wise? He has decent hands, good power, fast as a MW, elite wrestling, so how does that not add up to being a good MMA fighter? He just knocked off 2 TOP HW's, yet he's doing so with "no skill". I swear, some of you are ridiculous with the way you analyze fighters skill sets. He's obviously still learning, but to say he doesn't show the skill of a "true MMA fighter", is simply not true.

Got Milk?
