I don't really see how Couture doesn't get knocked out by a peak Mirko Crocop. Even if he had a good round or a good spell, he's going to get ****ed up at one point. Crocop was a ****ing killer, if he could beat Barnett he'd surely murder Couture.
Id agree Randy Couture is overrated but his career isnt built off beating the crap out of smaller guys and Japanese cans.
Ok maybe I went overboard but Couture is my all time fav :yep What I mean is Couture resume is more consistent with tough nights how many true easy nights did he have ? Tony Halme and James Toney and thats probably it. Cro Cop on the other hand you have plenty of Middleweights and Pro Wrestlers. The only somewhat decent UFC win he had was vs Pat Barry. 27 MMA wins and the only really good guys where Barnett 3x, Wanderlei, Fujita, Yoshida, Coleman, Randleman, Alexander, Heath, Sakuraba and Igor. Alot of those guys where at a serious size disadvantage but thats like 12 real high level wins. Coutures whole ****ing career was based on high level wins.
