    I still don't see how they can justify putting Brock in there with Randy. Even of Brock wins he didn't deserve the shot. Gabriel Gonzaga vs Brock Lesnar would have been a interesting fight and would have added more credibilty either way. There was no need to rush this fight and give it the bs label of biggest fight in MMA history.

    i think dana thinks lesnar is going to get a big win over randy and wants to get lesnar that name on his win list before randy retires or is just to old for it to matter.

    Who else in the UFC is there for Couture to fight though?

    Because Gonzaga would destroy Lesnar. Even if Lesnar wins tonight it matters not as his tenure as champ will be short.

    Quoted for truth. 1-1 --> title shot? Come on. If you look at how many guys someone like Alves or Cote had to fight before getting a shot, this is pretty clearly a money grab. If they'd had their head out of their asses then Mir/Nog would have happened months ago and Couture would be fighting one of them right now.

    I also agree that this being "the biggest fight ever" is crap. If one guys wins it's because the size difference is huge and if the other wins it's because one guy has three fights and the other 24. Not that interesting IMO. I was way more amped for the Sherk/Penn fight than this one.

    the "biggest fight in history" line is funny as hell. BJ vs GSP II is 10 times the fight.

    It is clearly about the money. If Randy gets beat then so what. I'd still rather see him fight Fedor. Dana could have made that fight happen, it would have made alot more money and alot more sense. No offense to Brock but a WWE dropout and a solid amateur pedigree does not merit a title shot. He should have at least avenged his loss to Mir before being considered for anything.

    Gonzaga is badass as long as he doesnt fall apart mentally I think he rapes Brock if they fight Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu especially clinic.
