    You don't want to write Randy off but you kind of have to.

    I love Randys's heart, but hes going to come second in this one.

    Quick hitting, straight punching strikers have badly hurt Couture before. (Pedro Rizzo)

    Machida may not have the explosive kicks of Rizzo, but he strikes accurately, and strikes intelligently.

    Randy is traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

    After Machida's fight with Shogun - does Randy's chance improve? Let's see what everyone thinks after UFC 105.

    That fight doesn't really affect my previous opinion. I picked Shogun by 3rd round stoppage against Machida.

    I do not know a lot about Machida's ground game. If Couture gets the clinch, I do not doubt his ability to take the fight there.

    I think Machida has too much speed for Randy, especially at this stage.

    Randy gets taken out like his last two fights with Chuck.

    Vera should do the job on Randy first though.

    Gotta wait till after Saturday and see how a 46 year old Randy does at 205 agian. This fight with Vera could be similar in ways to Machida with their footwork, kicks and counter attacks.

    This is what I'm thinking too. Never thought I'd see the day where I would pick Vera to beat Couture. :-(
