Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar

[Swamphunter]

Randy "The Natural" Couture is fighting Brock Lesnar on November 15th in UFC 91. I couldn't care less who Randy is fighting, just the fact that he is back is awesome!

Ouch. Brock better do a lot of training if he wants to win that one. If there's any fighter out there that could possibly stand toe to toe with Brock....its Randy.

Randy will have his hands full,but i think he'll pull out a win.

Pretty good fight card for this one.

This should be a barn burner. If Brock can put together some decent Jiu Jitsu skills to go with his already formidable ground and pound skills, he will be a "fairly dangerous man" in the Octagon. Randy is one of my favorite fighters. Though i don't normally get the UFC pay-per-views, i might make an exception for this one.

The thing is with this one, they are both wrestlers...Brock just has very little Jiu Jitsu, or finishing moves. Randy has an excellent all around game with a heck of a stand up, and Brock doesn't. Brock has size and strength, although Randy is VERY strong also. I predict (and I could be wrong), I think Randy will take this one with octagon experience, and skills. Brock shouldn't even be a title contender with only 3 UFC bouts whether or not they were big names. Plus the way he acted with his last win was VERY unsportsman like, taunting a losing opponent. Id like to see Randy open up a class on old school butt whoopin' and finish it off with teaching Lesnar some respect. His tauting Herring (who is from Texas), with the cowboy lassoing motion while riding on Herrings back like a horse and prancing around while Herring was losing was an insult to his background and upbringing. Just makes me mad...you be the judge.

Watch from the 5 min mark.... pee's me off (no class)

Watched it live, Swampy...and it made me sick. I was on the fence about Lesnar until then. He seemed humble in defeat even though he whooped Frank's butt all over the place. I really thought he could've played the "he got lucky" card and begged for a rematch. But he didn't.

Now he goes off on Herring like he did and it friggin' ticked me off. I still think he's one of the scariest guys to get in the octagon with and if anyone is every going to kill someone on UFC, it will be him. Yet, he's lost quite a bit of my respect, now.

Count me as one of the Couture bandwagon fans that are praying for a knockout.

The only problem I see is if Randy is unable to take Lesnar down or control him against the cage and in a clinch. Lesnar is a HUGE man and a great wrestler...and we all know Couture's favorite thing to do is impose his will and smother his opponents by clinching against the cage and using dirty boxing until the take down is given up then ground and pound them out. But as we saw against Sylvia ( I was there ) and Gonzaga he has really good stand up and great head movement. I see Randy using a great game plan as always and pulling off either a ko/tko or a unanimous decision due to overall experience and the fact he is super well rounded.
