    I have to go with Coleman.

    Coleman has the better credentials from their respective disciplines, Randy Greco and Coleman freestyle. Coleman won his way onto an Olympic team.

    Coleman also showed a difference in technical class over Dan Severn. Couture's credentials are not much higher than Severn's, and Couture is not Severn's size either.

    I think that Coleman could put Couture on his back, and win a decision. Randy would be coming on strong late, and would be a submission threat at that stage I must say.

    Couture's prime was at a much more advanced stage of MMA than Coleman's. I'll take Couture.

    Coleman would have utterly destroyed Couture at heavy.

    Dont see how Coleman wins unless we are saying Randy's prime was when he was younger back in say 97-98 at Heavy. For me Randy's Heavyweight prime was in 2007 when he came back and had improved striking and beat the hell out of Sylvia and Gonzaga. Coleman never had good striking and never had good cardio hes not just going to double leg Couture and hammerfist him Randy is to good a wrestler hell Brock could not keep Couture down and thats a 280 pound monster. Coleman may have a decent 1st round but Couture breaks him down over the course of round 2 and finishes him with basically anything he wants in round 3.

    Yep. I voted Randy. The Randy of Sylvia, Gonzaga and Brock is simply too advanced. That Randy had a better punch resistance too. Even then, I don't think Coleman is good enough of a striker.

    Coleman was a different age. A powerful beast but Randy is too advanced in pretty much every way.

    Voted Randy. At his prime he was much more of a complete fighter.

    Couture beats Coleman at any stage of their careers.

    Is this the same Coleman that got butt raped by Pete Williams in his prime. Lemme ask you, do you know Pete Williams? Ahh NO, OK. He was a low ranking member of the Lions Den back in the day. He freakin pummeled Coleman worse than Fedor. Coleman has a history of gassing as a toddler and now you guys have him beating Randy?? :lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    Pete smashed him with a kick very late in the fight, Randy will already be gone before it gets that late.

    :lol::lol: The Great Williams was taken down and almost submitted Coleman, Mark couldnt do **** to Williams (with his great BJJ skills lol). I swear in 4 minutes Colemans gassed and done. This is Prime MMA Coleman we are talking about here.
