looks like Randy Counture back in the UFC.. 3 fight deal!

**southmadejd** · 09-04-2008, 08:44 PM

^^^I was just about to say that I am not sure if Dana will want to spend the money that Fedor will want to come and fight at the UFC.

Dana has a huge f-cking ego and will only want to pay him an amount that he already has set up in his mind.

Personally I think Fedor will be worth every penny to get signed in the UFC....if they could do that, then all of the other organizations would start crumbling.

**WARMachine** · 09-04-2008, 08:50 PM

Well his plan is to wait till other organizations crumble...

And so far, its working...

Pro Elite is like 50 million in the red!

and there are rumors that Affliction might be outta business by January...

Hell wait till Fedor has nowhere else to go...

**BTM0085** · 09-06-2008, 09:51 AM

i pick brock...randy onlyone the title because sylvia was so out of shape and sloppy and that was over a year ago....Brock naturally has over 50 pounds on couture and will have about 40 at the weight in...Brock is too strong and athletic, hes only going to get better.

**g0dsend** · 09-06-2008, 10:45 AM

If you watch Dana Whites video blogs on yourtube, Randy is basically following Dana around and being his bitch. What I dont get is that after 2 UFC fights, Lesnar gets a title fight? They are making him into Kimbo.

IMO, Dana wants Randy to lose.

**Tony Q** · 09-06-2008, 01:45 PM

If and i do mean if Couture makes it to Fedor Emilenko he will get his ass handed to him... Sylvia went the distance with Couture, Fedor beat him in 39 seconds....

Im totally agree... I dont see how Lesnar gets a title shot after beating Heath Herring?

Werdum is 1000X's more deserving for beating GG and Vera...

This is BS, It should be Werdum vs. Couture for the title, and Mir vs. Nog for the Interim title. The winners will fight for the Undisputed title and that will be that...

Either way, i can see Lensar pulling off the upset, but ive learned to NEVER count out Randy Couture... Couture by TKO...

Mir vs. Nog is an easy one to call...

Mir's standup is horrific, Nog has some very good boxing and has the best ground game in the world at HW.

Mir has solid BJJ, but Nog's in on a different level, i see Nog beating him anywhere in that fight...

**kloter1** · 09-07-2008, 11:23 AM

anyone know of a site that replays the ufc 88 fights? Mmaroot is the only site I can find with the replay videos.

**False Positive** · 09-22-2008, 02:31 PM

It's not like its Brocks fault. He fights who they tell him to fight. I understand there there are at least a dozen Heavyweights out there that have paid there dues but Brock is what is going to sell. With that being said I think Couture is dellusional. He can't beat Fedor, I think Brock will manhandle him, and Nog is on another level. He sat out a year just to lose three fights.

100% agree with why Brock is getting a title shot. Big names=Big Bucks. I can't say anything about Couture vs. Fedor other than the fact that I think alot of people will be surprised with what Couture will bring (it won't just be a beat down in my opinion). Couture thrives as the underdog. I think the only reason Sylvia went the distance with Couture was the size difference and their styles of fighting, (sylvia strikes couture strikes, and loves ground and pound). Sylvia is a terrible fighter anyway just a freak of nature. Once the size gap gets taken out (such as Fedor) we saw his true colors in 39 seconds. Brock Lesnar though is an animal but when you watch his fights it is obvious he lacks the experience. He doesn't capitalize on situations when he is dominant, so thats going to play right into the Natural's hands. Either way its going to be a great fight to watch...my 2 cents.

As much as it pains me to say.....you are wrong about Sylvia. Yes he can be boring and a complete tool box but the man can fight. He has beaten a who's who of the Heavyweight decision and he has only lost to the elite. Randy is tough to bet against as an underdog but Brock is a beast. I think Randy's only real chance is a submission or Brock gassing. Brock is the better wrestler...MMA wise and he had a much better collegiate career. It will be very interesting!

Are kidding me? Sylvia is a top 5 HW in EVERYONES list!

Hes beat a who's who of top contenders...

**False Positive** · 09-23-2008, 12:28 PM

Werdum has put in the work to earn a shot but do you think he would have a chance? I think of Lesnar as an even bet against Randy while where as Werdum would be a heavy dog. His ground game is sick but his stand-up is worse than mine!

**WARMachine** · 09-23-2008, 06:13 PM

^^^ ???

I guess you missed it when he stopped GG and Vera both by strikes then huh? Not to mention hes been training with CroCop for the last year now? He went the distance with AA too although he lost.

Werdum would tool Lesnar. Lesnar would not want to go to the ground with him obviously. I think hed beat Randy too! The only guy hes gonna have a problem with is obviously Nog whos he dropped a decision to.

Either way, i see Nog coming out of this whole "tournament" as the undisputed champ.

**False Positive** · 09-24-2008, 11:13 AM

Agreed that Nog could and should pull out this tourney. I guess we will agree to disagree on Werdum. Regardless of his sick ass ground game the dude was throwing open handed strikes in the AA fight. Yes I also saw the GG fight but that dude is a head case. But if Nog wins does that mean he gets to fight Fedor? Bad news for Nog

**WARMachine** · 09-24-2008, 01:44 PM

Yeah i agree with you there.

I cant see ANYONE beating Fedor anytime soon. But, if anyone can do it, its Nog.

**False Positive** · 09-24-2008, 03:23 PM

I am ashamed to admit it but I honestly felt Sylvia would be the one to do it. That long stiff jab just wears on you and I wasn't sure if Fedor could get in on it. I was wrong! Good what a slaughtering. Barnett is tough as hell and could maybe give a run. Kharintinov would be demolished. Randy will be interesting. Brock is to inexperienced. Old school Mirko would have been fun...the Mirko from the GP not the one that showed up to there first fight. Nog is rediculous but I think Fedor has his number.

**WARMachine** · 09-24-2008, 04:19 PM

Barnett is the only top guy who hasnt had a chance... CroCop would be crushed if they step in again...

Kharintinov is from the same camp. Hes a smaller, weaker version of Fedor anyway.

My money is on Josh or Nog pulling it off...

I knew Sylvia was gonna get smashed, however not that bad.

**False Positive** · 09-24-2008, 05:37 PM

I guess we just need to face it that the crazy Russian will probably never lose a fight. He is amazing to watch. I can' wait for him to retire Randy

Ha sorry, not a top 5 in my list...hes not a great fighter so I guess not EVERYONE. He capitalizes on his ridiculous reach, height, and weight. Yes he has beat some formidable fighters but I don't think it can be attributed solely to his fighting, I think his reach has saved his ass NUMEROUS times. That ****ing jab from across the octagon, anyway to each his own. With the Brock Lesnar fight you missed my point. Which was Dana is a business man first and for most. Brock Lesnar is huge, famous, and has a beast-the-opponent style of fighting which equals big bucks. I do not think he is worthy at all, 2 wins and 1 loss is hardly title shot worthy. I am saying everyone knows his name and thats why he is getting a title shot, he is definitely cutting in a line of contenders.

**WARMachine** · 09-24-2008, 10:03 PM

I agree with you on the Lesnar topic...

What youre not understanding is that, thats how Big Timmy fights!

He uses that crazy reach and out stikes guys... Not to mention he has power in his shots!

Hes a top level fighter and you know it, i dont like him either, matter of fact, ive met him, and i think hes a arrogant prick...

but still, i respect him as a fighter and his ability.

**False Positive** · 09-25-2008, 12:33 PM

Tim Sylvia is an enormous D bag but to keep him out a top 10 list of Heavys is insane. So if he didn't jab he would be better? He's not supposed to use his reach? Should Randy not clinch or wrestle. That dude has stilts for legs and is as akward as a new born fawn but he can scrap for sure. If he is so bad, why has he only been beaten by the absolute best?
