UFC 109 prediction league: Relentless Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman

I am worried about Coleman's cardio holding up, but he may be able to make 3 rounds. Coleman was coming off a 2 year lay off against Rua, and took the 3rd against Bonnar. I would hope that his cardio has improved slightly. I am also concerned about his lack of power at this lower weight, which may mean no extra hormones.

I went with Coleman because he is the superior wrestler. Coleman won a spot on the Olympic team, is the reason Kerr didn't make an Olympic team, and is a higher caliber wrestler than Randleman or Barnett. Coleman handled Severn easily, and Severn isn't that far below Couture in the wrestling food chain.

However this is an mma bout, and Coleman is not the same now as he was against Severn. My initial thought was Couture by 3rd round submission/tko. I've decided to take the underdog based on superior wrestling technique.

 

Well said. It's too bad Coleman is going to get smashed now! :good

 

:bbb:hey:yep:good

 

Mark Coleman looked like he was 99 years old tonight. The guy should retire. He has no business fighting against the top guys, let alone headlining in a Main Event. I've got a funny feeling now that Tito was trashtalking him Dana might try to make that fight, regardless of what happens in the Tito-Liddell rubber match.

 

That's because Tito likes fighting the over 40 club like Shamrock,Chuck and maybe Coleman if he can.

 

Thanks, LHL!

 

Yeah boi!!!!!!!:smoke
