I think Randy has a better shot at beating Mir/Nog then he does Brock. Brock has great wrestling and when he enters the octagon he will weigh almost 300lbs with Randy usually weighing in at 230. Thats a lot of mass that Randy will have to throw around. Randy might be able to pull that fight out with his conditioning and experience.

I dont think Randy will have that much problem with Nog. Both Randy and Nog have good stand up. Nog probably has the better stand up but Randy isnīt out classed on his feet. Nog is not a huge HW either. Randy has many great ju-jitsu fighters before without getting submitted.

If Randy fights Fedor the chances are that he will probably loose. Fedor has had problems with good wrestlers in the past though. Fedor is also not that big for a HW but does have the best hips in MMA. Never totally count Randy out and especially if this is going to be his last MMA fight.

If I had to guess I'd say he gets past Brock but loses to Nog, if this is actually how things pan out.

honestly, how can anyone count out couture after what he has accomplished? sure his record isnt the best, but those losses werent recent, he improves everytime he fights and his gameplans are brilliant. just look at bj penns record, id have to say bj is the most talented fighter in the world, he just lacks cardio. have u ever seen couture dominated? nope, sure couture has been kod by chuck twice, but if u seen their 1st fight, much more impressive than a one shot ko, not as exciting, but more impressive. what if that straight right did not connect? long night for chucky. couture will beat all 3. first 2 w/out damage. if not, he is still one of the greatest mma fighters to ever step foot in the octagon.

I voted for Randy loosing to Brock, stylewise the worst match up for him. Randy dropped to to LHW b/c he didnīt want to fight big guys like Ricco and Barnett, Lesnar is 30+ pounds bigger than them and better wrestler. Even tho Randy has unterrated sub game i donīt see him having the ability to sub Lesnar from guard.
Iīm hoping he survives the early attack, turns it around with upperbody takedown or some kind of trip in the later rounds and stops Lesnar with GnP but that might be just dreaming.
