    Hendo would win, and by KO as well.

    However, Randy would claim that he did not know that this was an official MMA match and that it was unfair because the fighter he was facing cam from the future. When pressed by the referee and others to accept his loss the would call them all peados for accosting a 40 year old guy, and then claim that he was making an act of great defiance by not accepting the decision.

    Great fight.

    I could see Hendo blowing him away... but I could also see Couture grinding Hendo down... and battering around a gassed out Hendo for a stoppage somewhere between rounds 3-5. Henderson might be a little too predictable with his striking to take out Couture at that age. Let's not forget that Couture used to have a great chin too. I guess it would probably come down to the wrestling, and I am just not sure who wins in that department.... although I have seen Hendo on his back a lot more than Couture from takedowns.

    I think Hendo would knock Randy out in a brutal fashion.

    Randy if its over five rounds - he'd just get Dan to the ground repeatedly and wear him down. Would be a good fight though.

    At HW or at LHW? and is it 3 or 5 rounds?
    Im guessing its at LHW and Couture could take a decent shot back then but decent enough whiskers to take the H-bomb? Prolly not but then again could Hendo land that shot?
    I'd go with Couture by fence hugging and GnP
