Call me crazy, but I'm going with Coleman. Him and Nog were really the only two guys to give Fedor problems. I like Randy Couture, he's undeniably the strongest small heavyweight I have seen in years, considering his advanced age, but Coleman is the superior wrestler. For Couture to win he will have to turn this into a slugfest---and Coleman is no stranger to that world either.

 

Odd to think that Mark was on the prelims when he fought Bonnar and didnt even make the air. Now he's main event because he's fighting Couture.

How is Coleman as a wrestler, "superior" to an Olympic level wrestler?

 

Because Coleman actually finished 7th in the 1992 olympics and Randy was just an American alternate?

 

That's fine, but the connotation of "superior" designates the idea that Couture wouldn't belong on a mat with Mark Coleman, which is facetious, in my opinion. In an MMA cage, Couture's wrestling is just as good as Coleman's - if not better, because Couture isn't going to gas midway through each round.

at 2:38 mark, looked like it took a lot out of him.

 

Nate is gona **** Sonnen. That's my prediction.
He's going to physically force Sonnen to bend over and then he'll have his way with him.
