There WAS a thread on this before but was outdated..

What do you guys think about this fight tomorrow night? And who do you want/think will win?

I personally think Brock is going to over power him and ground n pound to a ref stoppage.. but who knows right.. should be a good one..

Brock lesnar will always be a better WWE Wrestler than a Mixed martial artist, LOL

I think if Couture can survive the first 2 minutes he'll win.

going to end in round 3 or 4 randy via knock out . brocks boxing sucks bad and isnt very good, he just does as the basics he beeen thought, no real style to it. randy has style. he wont take randy down like he did hearing. randy by KO im guessing 3-4 round maybe soon tho.

Couture is a better stand up fighter than lesnar. He handed silvia his ***, so he can hold his own quite well. Brute strength vs skill / experience.

i agree with kove 100%

lesnar is quick and extremely strong. i'd say that gives him about a 40% chance, just from pure athleticism. his skills lack some.

What I don't get is why Lesnar gets a shot at Couture. Usually you have to have a win streak before you get a shot at a champ......One more thing I don't understand is how Couture and Nogueira are both the UFC heavyweight champs.

I think Couture will take this one, that is if this is the Randy of old. Lets face it the guy is getting old (45), he hasn't fought in well over a year, and he's has a BIG weight dis-advantage. I mean Lesnar is going to be 275-290 by the time of the fight and Couture has never been even close to 250. The weigh-in had Randy at 220, Lesnar at 265 (UFC limit). He has everything stacked against him except the skill and experience, and that's why I pick him.

I pick Randy for the win. He always seems to pick apart his opponents by exploiting their weak points.

I feel Brock has a real chance , if Randy gets careless and tries to stand and trade with Lesnar then it will be a quick night. Look for Couture to take him out of his game working the clinch and frustrating Brock until he makes a mistake that Randy can capitalize on for a submission. I dont see Randy overwhelming him with strikes while standing, I expect more of a ground and pound performance once Randy can get Brock to the ground. Brocks stellar Ama Wrestling background is his best asset in this fight and will be the biggest obstacle for couture to get past.

Randy > Brock via 5 round decision or by Submission after round 2.

I really do not see Randy taking brock out.. i think itll be very very hard to knock him out, and randy had trouble SOMETIMES when he fought Sylvia when taking him down, and Sylvia is nothing near the size or powerhouse as lesnar is..
