spot on sir. spot on.

I dont think its as close as people make it out to be, Randy will destroy Brock. When it comes to doubts about Randy not fighting for a year...people forget he took considerable time off after he retired from being light-heavyweight, only to come back and capture the HW title.
As for Brock, looking at his fights, his most notable win was against Harring, and for a guy with such power and size he did little more than just lay down on Harring for 3 rounds and pepper him with shots. He wont be able to do that against Randy and in any other area Randy has an advantage. Oh and lets not forget, Brock's chin was never tested, I dont think I saw him take a shot in any of his fights...I predict Randy knows that, and will come out swinging in the first round.

no. fighters are told to hype the fight.
there's a difference between talking the expected smack and truly being a douchebag. In serious interviews, Lesnar accepts that he's a n00b and has a lot to learn.

What about rodeo-riding your opponent in the final 10 seconds of a fight? Is THAT expected?
He may be humble in an interview, but in his after-fight questioning against Harring, where most fighters truly ARE humble and talk about how tough their opponent was and show respect, Lesnar yelled "Do you see me now?!!!" Or something like that... Not very humble at all.
Lesnar will win. Couture is old and washed up. Lesnar is still in his prime, he's HUGE, he's one of the most hard-working fighters and spends almost ALL his free time training. He's going to be ready, and he's going to win. But I would't be SURPRISED if he lost.

...lesnar is 1-1 and is still the new kid on the block with a lot to prove...he should focus on winning fights..and MAYBE after he has accomplished half of what couture has..he can spank tito too..
;)
btw, this is why tito got spanked..he was calling couture an old man..so he got pwned in the ring..by being spanked by the "old man"

LOL @ that entire paragraph. :D
edit: I don't mean to disregard your opinion, I just think you're not giving Randy enough credit and overestimating Lesnar.
well, it's about to begin....obviously, I'm pulling for Randy, but here's hoping for a good, decisive fight with no b.s. controversial ending, no matter who wins.
just an FYI for everyone, it's available live online... though I in no way support or condone skirting the ridiculous $54.99 price for an HD broadcast :D
