Couture picks Evans to beat Ortiz

You don't want to be picked by Randy Couture to win is he right this time or can Ortiz pull off the upset and Couture keeps being wrong ?

Has Randy got a bad pick history?

I think something like 11-4 for main events

Stoo · 08-01-2011, 05:48 PM

11 wrong? Damn that's worse than mine

wakzer · 08-01-2011, 05:55 PM

I just read on Sherdog that his picking record is 3-16(16 losses) for main events

Stoo · 08-01-2011, 06:00 PM

Damn! Still beat me though

The past couple of years he's turned into MMA's Teddy Atlas.

If I was fighting in a main event Id make sure Id go full Chael on Randy in every interview so he'd pick the other guy

Ortiz has to be the underdog. Evans has only become more experienced since their first fight. Evans now knows he can wrestle and punch and that his chin isn't unstoppable. These things allow him to strategise and execute.

Nevertheless, I think if Ortiz is to turn back the hands of the time then this is a good stylistic match up for him. Ortiz has hands on experience from them having fought before. He is a BIG bloke who shouldn't be scared to wrestle with Rashad and should look to put him on the defensive and in his last fight he showed his hands still have some life left in them.

Ortiz isn't super talented to pull off awe inspiring stuff like Silva, Jones or Machida. He is a big strong bloke and when he fights like he is then he can do damage. If Ortiz doesn't fight like the bigger guy and he trys to stand off and box, stuff the takedown etc then its likely the younger, faster, fresher, sharper, probably better boxer will beat him.

Underdog but winnable stylistic match up for Ortiz. I'm gonna be pulling for Ortiz all the way.

Note: I think the Evans that Tito fought the first time was the one who began to fall in love with his boxing. After a host of decisions, he had just found out he had some power and the love of his hands continued afterwards to Liddell and Forrest. Machida made him wake up and smell the roses. So this Rashad has got good hands but he's gone back to his wrestling. Ortiz needs to be aware of that.

And that's hilarious because in '06 or '07 his picks were a fucking lock nearly every time.
