    If Machida don't win by KNOCKOUT, i'll never post here again.
    i'm THAT sure

    Couture is TOO slow and has a glass chin now

    Machida will knock him out

    get ready not to post anymore. After i seen him beat big tim and gonzala i would never question what randy and do and not do in the ring. Machida sure did look unbeatable at one time but he can lose pretty easily

    Would rather see Couture try to move down to 185Ibs and challenge Silva. THAT would be an interesting fight.

    If he cut that much weight he'd look like Victor Meldrew in the weigh in

    I think he could do it...he's walking around at 220Ibs so if he was to drop a bit of muscle it'd be a manageable cut. He wrestled at below 200Ibs so its doable. I just think Couture needs to do more with his last few matches than a retread at light heavyweight. Trying to become a three-weight champion would be it.

    No its not doable. Couture is nearly 50 years old. He wrestled at 200lbs when he was in his late 20's. There is absolutely no chance of him making 185lbs without looking skeletal and being utterly useless during the fight.

    Well it would sell I guess, but cant see Randy making the cut at 47. He'd get his face rearranged anyway, if Brock could catch him Im sure a motivated Silva could. Randy would be well advised to stay away from the clinch cause Andersons is on a different level. And he doesnt have a shoot like Chael. I hope this fight isnt even considered tbh

    :good I can imagine Goldberg getting confused and calling him Coleman for the entire fight

    Randy has only lost to Big Nog and Brock in the last 3 - 4 years...

    That might be why.

    People got too high on Randy after he won 3 on the trot. He beat Toney but any MMA fighter would have done. He beat Coleman who is seriously past it. Then he beat Vera in a fight most thought he lost and prior to that he lost to a Nog who is condierably past his best. I haven't seen anything to make me think Randy is near the top at LHW.

    He isnt. But he's fans buy the hype and he sells tickets. Thats all that matters in the UFC.
