Brock Lesnar TKO's Randy Couture in the 2nd Round
Here is a post fight interview with Randy Couture after his lose to Brock Lesnar at UFC 91
Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar
It seems that almost everyone thinks that Randy "The Natural" Couture will win this fight. I am a big Randy fan, and the reason is because Randy is an ass kicker. He will take you down, hold you down, and beat on you until he wins by either KO, TKO, or decision. His fighting style is everything that makes MMA great, but Brock Lesnar is a beast of a man.
The problem is that if you look at Randy's record he has only won 2 fights by submission. If you throw out the loses to Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell and the fluke eye cut by Vitor Belfort, he has only lost to bigger guys. He did beat up Tim "The Maniac" Sylvia, but Tim is not known as the most athletically gifted heavyweight. He originally dropped down to Light Heavyweight after 2 consecutive losses to bigger men at UFC 36 and UFC 39.
I for one just don't see how Randy will be able take down Brock Lesnar, much less to physically kick Brock's butt. When Randy fought Tim Sylvia, he watched lots of tape and exploited a leg sweep weakness that he found in Tim's game. It will not take Randy long to view all of Brock's fight tapes, he only has three under his belt.
Brock showed a lot of improvement between his loss to Frank Mir to his win against Heath Herring. If he continues to improve, this fight could look very much like the Herring fight. Brock will take down Randy, defend submission attempts, and beat Randy up. Brock could get caught in a submission or Randy could surprise us with another awesome performance like he has before. That is why this will end up being the most watched PPV in the history of the UFC, I can't wait to see how this one ends up.
