Should be pretty awesome, both are from wrestling backgrounds. But there is also the great story of Lesnar's raw power but inexperience versus Randy's cagey veteran-ness and underdog size. This should be a pretty awesome fight.
Predictions?
Last time I saw Lesnar he dominated but got caught out with an arm bar and tapped. He's just a bruiser, a big ape. Randy's one of the smartest in the game with his experience, Lesnars still green in that sport regardless of his background so I'd fancy Couture.
I was wrong there I think. It was a knee bar or some type of lock on his leg he got caught with. In the UFC I think he's relied more on physical domination hasn't he than actual technical stuff. Obviously I respect his background but he tends to fly out the traps and just and get it done and thats where I think he'll slip up, especially against somebody so seasoned.
Has Lesnar really earned the opportunity for a title bout?
I think you're referring to the Frank Mir fight. Mir is an experienced guy, and a submissions expert. That leg lock that Brock was caught in was something that greener fighters are open too. Before that though, Brock was hammering Mir pretty good. But you're right, he does fly out at the bell; and any mistake he makes Couture will certainly capitalize on.
Yeah, thats the one As you can tell, I'm not a hardcore fan but I try to watch when I can.
True, but don't forget Brock was an NCAA wrestling champ. The guy may have been a prowrestler, but he's no meathead. You're about Randy's experience though, and I think that will make the difference. But, as Wildo said, I can see Brock upsetting Randy based on his raw power and wrestling ability. I think it's more likely however that Randy will outwrestle him or maybe catch him in a submission (though Randy's much more inclined to ground and pound).
Whiskeybreath, I'm more than interested in MMA. I train in it and watch it whenever it's on - I love it.
Awesome. How long have you been at it? Where are you training out of?

If you like it, check out the WEC on the VS. Channel. It's owned by the UFC, but features a lot of the lighter weightclasses. They're so fast and techincal, it's incredible. And there's a fighter there named Urijah Faber, and he's pound-for-pound one of the best in the world right now. Just dominating.
Don't think I can get that channel here chief, or is it available online? I'll try looking for his fights on youtube and stuff anyways..
