I want Lesnar to win, so badly, and I believe he has basically every advantage besides experience, but I have this nagging feeling that says Couture is taking it, whether he gets lucky, Brock screws up, or Randy just shocks the ell out of everyone.
Randy Couture

Randy Couture I don't think Randy Couture beating a guy in his 4th MMA fight would be "shocking." |

Randy Couture Randy also has the advantage that Greco is better suited to adapting to MMA than freestyle, he has the advantage that he has actually adapted his style over the years to MMA wheras Lesnar who looked great against Heath basically wrestled him for 15 minutes. He'll need a lot more than that. Randy might not be a submissions wizard ala Mir, however he knows a damn sight more that Brock does from his years training. Randy actually has some boxing experience, Lesnar has no stand up experience apart from the big punch on Heath which was a push rather than a hard punch & the "flying" knee that actually missed. Randy's going to outstrike him from the outside, tie him up & pound him using Greco wrestling & then finish him off. I'm shocked at some peoples reactions to this fight, for me if Brock does win I'd call that a huge shock. In MMA having big muscles doesn't make you a winner. Randy is taking brock out in the deep waters of a 5 round fights & is going to drown him. |

I'm a big Randy Couture fan. But I just can't see him taking this one. Captain America will not overcome another giant.
Don't get me wrong, Couture is amazing and it will still be a HUGE upset if Lesnar wins. But I just see a lot of people being shocked and the talks of a fight with Fedor being completely derailed.

Randy is taking brock out in the deep waters of a 5 round fights & is going to drown him. I highly doubt Brock will get completly dominated. I know that Couture is a great wrestler but so is Brock and he has massive size over him so if he does not  up on the ground then there aint no way he is keeping Brock down. But Brock has age, size, speed, and wrestling in his bag and even has KO power. He would have got TKO on Mir if he was not so stupid but thats a rookie mistake. Couture is getting old and I know he has a history of upsetting people but I dont know how much longer he can do it. Certantly not forever. Im not saying Brock is going to win. Im just saying you saying that Brock will get completly dominated is wrong. He may get outsmarted but no way does couture dominate him keeping himm down the whole fight. No way. It will be a great fight to see and has potential to go all 5 rounds.. |

He certainly didn't KO Mir, he landed a few shots so let's not get carried away cause Mir was so rocked that he locked on a submission seconds later. He landed a lot of shots on Herring from the top position & didn't come close to stopping him. Ys I'll admit he dominated Heath but didn't see him coming close to stopping him with shots from the top. Apart from that he landed the pushing punch at the start & missed a high knee. Now I'm not saying he's not a quality wrestler, or that he has great size, strength & speed for a fighter that size. I just feel the UFC is rushing him too quickly due to his name value & the amount they are paying him. If he'd have been built up slower & got the experience he needs I think he'll be a feaking animal. I just think in a complex sport like this he's going to be seriously disadvanted not having the experience & a few years extra training when going against the upper echelon of the division. People have ben writing off Randy for years. He wasn't going to beat Belfort, Randleman, Rizzo, Chuck, Tito, Sylvia or Gonzaga and yet he got the wins. |

You cant be telling me that how hard Brock can hit you dont think he can KO someone. He straight up told everyone after his match with Herring his gameplan was to fight a 3 rd fight. I understand that Randy has gotten all of those upsets and what not. But its got to stop at some point. I agree. Brock has gotten a push too fast and gotten his shot given too him too fast. But thats just the way things go when they can make money off someone. Im not saying Brock is going to win. I am just saying that I know he will not get "Dominated"

Big muscles does not equal KO power, otherwise Bob Sapp would be the king of MMA. I'll accept that Brock COULD win, but most people here seem to think it's a certainity, wheras for me if Brock wins I'd call it a shock up there with Serrs koing GSP or Gonzaga Crocoping Crocop. As for the push too quickly whilst I don't agree with it if I was Dana I'd do the exact same thing, I just feel in the long run it's going to hurt Brock's MMA career |

I'm pretty he hits hard. |

this moogie guy does not make much sense to me. Brock obviously has KO power.

But you cant tell me that just because it has not happened he can not KO someone accounting on how hard he hits. He Broke a guys face for christ sakes. WITH ONE PUNCH!

Yeah he caused damage to Herring which takes power but KOing someone is a different thing No matter what you say the fact is he hit Herring repeatedly & wasn't able to stop him. Obviously he COULD KO someone but that applies to any MMA fighter but that doesn't make them all KO specialist. Just cause Brock is strong & muscular does not apply to KO power |
