'Looking forward to it anyways.. well, that and the CFL playoffs :p
dana's hype. i hate brock. beats herring and all of a sudden he's back.i wish frank broke is ing leg

this card is a little weak to get my 50$.
Dana needs to put his personal reasons aside and start going after the few pride fighters that have not seen the light of day yet.
I would not care how much it costs, the heavyweight division will always be a joke until Fedor is brought in.
the last few cards have left me wondering why i bother.
*TiEsTo*SuX*
I wish I could watch but I have other plans.
I love Randy...hope he wins!!

LOL @ Joe Rogans coment on calling Lesner a Gorilla LOL

u think Couture dirty boxing a Jujitsu will work against Lesner. Couture hasn't fought in a while..and Lesner is a better fighter now since his loss to Mir.

Couture's healed up now, will be fighting a bit rusty but fresh. You can see this at Boston Pizza or Honest Lawyer in the Market for free, which is what I'm doing. I'm pulling for Couture, we'll see..

Lesnar is going to punch a big man-fist sized hole in Couture's face once he pulls guard.

obviously Lesnar's size and power mean that he can win a fight against anyone...but the fact remains that Randy has 10x the experience, striking and submission skills that Lesnar has...and that's impossible to 'offset' with mere size and power.
people talk of Lesnar's wrestling background as if Randy's is , lol.
no predictions here. Randy *should* school him...but anything can happen.

Randy's wrestling isn't , but Lesnar is the best big wrestler he's ever faced. I see a bigger Mark Coleman in Lesnar - and Coleman coined the phrase "ground and pound". I think Lesnar is going to take that style to another level, and I'm interested to see Couture adopt his style to that - if he can anymore.
I'm also interested to see what the fight purses are for them both.

it should be very interesting...and I'm not trying to take anything away from what a raw talent Lesnar is or the future he could have in the sport. He's been rather humble and respectful too, instead of talking a lot of , so it's hard not to like the guy. To be fair to him, guys like Randy SHOULD kill him, given his limited experience.
I will still be very disappointed if Randy loses, because while many people realize the nature of the sport and that anyone can win on any given night, especially in the HW division, millions of idiots out there will think less of real MMA fighters if Lesnar beats him.
I'd argue that only in the HW division could a guy with Lesnar's limited skill set and experience allow him to compete with top fighters...and also because his expertise is wrestling, as opposed to coming from boxing (he'd be murdered).
I will give Lesnar credit. Even though I don't think he has done anything to warrant the exposure and opportunities he's being given, he's stukk fighting legit guys, rather than the jokes that Kimbo was being fed in Elite (before being KO'd by a UFC castoff).
He's in a difficult situation. He's fought one former champ and lost, then gets (and beats) a guy with 40+ fights under his belt who's been in there with many of the best in the sport, and now get Couture (and the winner of Mir-Nog after that!).
gotta give the guy respect...but I still hope Randy mauls him :D
the fight I'm really excited to see is Penn-GSP II. now that should be sick...
