I simply do not know if Couture can handle Lesnar and control the fight like he has done with all of his previous opponents. Lesnar is insanely athletic and strong... If Randy is gonna win, it'll be by sub. Who knows what his training has been like recently, with him filming that stupid scorpian king movie and what not. So many people jumped on the Lesnar bandwagon after he beat up Herring, and now SUDDENLY everyone is totally dissing him. During Randy's time while he was being a stubborn prick and refusing to fight for the UFC, everyone on all the forums I'm on bashed him constantly. But now everything has changed once he came back and everyone is on his nuts again. Randy SHOULD be Brock. He has far more experience and know-how. But will he? My gut is saying Brock takes this one... and lets say Randy does win. Does he beat Nog? Hell no. Nog will beat him up on the feet and then sub a battered Couture in the 3rd or 4th. Would Randy beat Fedor? No way.
Which brings up the quote by Lesnar... You know why he said this? He's a FIGHTER. He is voicing his frustration of hearing about Fedor constantly. As a fighter in the business, he wants to hear about how good BROCK is, who BROCK can fight, etc. We are all FANS and of course we want to hear all the hype and see all that shit. But think of it from HIS perspective, and the perspective of all fighters for that matter.
And for those upset with this match-up: deal with it. This was a brilliant business move on the part of the UFC. Plus, I have a strong feeling Randy ASKED for this fight. Who else was he gonna fight? How much longer can an old man wait? After his long-time off he probably feels he is out of the lime-light, and to get back in it he wants to be tossed into a massive PPV. Its absurd how much revenue this event will pull in.
