[SimpleJack]

His stance is wide. His hands are low. His punches loop. He's forgotten how to kick. He doesn't knee often enough. He's never been in a war. Need I go on about Chuck? HE DOES WIN. THAT'S A FACT. I can't wait for him to be truly challenged in the ring. Rampage made him look terrible.

randy will get pounded out viciously

2-3 years ago, i would have bet on him, because i normally choose greco guys over MT guys because of the ground game and the strength in the clinch


but Randy is too old. he showed his reflexes slowing down twice against Chuck, and wanderlei will hit him solidly, and pound him out if they fight

That is far too many "if's", Randy is a wrestler, him outstriking Chuck was a 1/100 chance, miracle in the octagon, whatever you want to call it. He is an olympic wrestler with average standup at best. He would in no way be able to outstrike Wanderlei. He would immediately be going for the takedown.

Randy was great, his record was not, meaning he lost to those top ranked guys a lot, wanderlei on the other hand has destroyed those top ranked guys 98% of the time. it's hard to bet against Wanderlei in any fight including a fight with Couture.

I have seen a ton of people jump ship after Wanderlei lost to Cro Cop and people think it is like the Rich Franklin scenerio but it is nothing alike. Franklin was exposed for being an overhyped fighter, his record was great but his wins were coming over average competition wiht his best victory coming over Tanner and DL, while Wand has that same phenomenal record but has defeated top ranked fighter after top ranked fighter. Rampage x2, Arona, Saku x3, Kondo, Fujita who outweighed him by 45+lbs, draw with Cro Cop in the first fight, a war with Hunt who outweighed him by 80lbs and that fight should've been a draw at best, Hunt was given the win becasue it was his MMA debut and he fought so impressively IMO, Mezger and Nakamura.

UFC rules Couture would have a great chance via pin his head to the cage gnp and would not have to worry about paying for a missed double leg takedown adn eating knees. Pride rules, clearly Wanderlei would have the distinct advantage.

I would've liked to have seen the fight take place back when there was talk of it and still would not mind seeing it now.

the whole idea of this thread is to see what people think would happened in a match between wanderlei and randy couture WHEN RANDY COUTURE WAS LHW CHAMP-2 OR THREE YEARS AGO. Read my opening post and ull see. Sorry, I should have made the title of the post more clear

sorry about then then

Prime randy after beating Tito and Chuck would have a war with Wandy.

i would bet on Wandy in Pride rules, Randy in the UFC




i posted about randy now because there are rumors about Pride reaching for Randy fighting Wanderlei in the february show

Reallllllly????? That's interesting..do u have a link?

[ThaProdigy32]

I say Silva by KO. Even in his prime, Randy took a lot of shots. You can't take too many from Wanderlei. Ask Rampage. Or Fujita. Or Sakuraba. Or countless other people who had to be told what happened to them.

Randy would kill wandy... randy would put him down with a slam and ground and pound his way to victory...wandy wouldnt have a chance

you're buying a little too much into the UFC hype about a 43 year old man that has stepped way out of his prime with age.

wanderlei lost to cro cop, and somehow everyone forgets the terror he was in the LHW division for 5 years running.



and triangle choke, i dont have a link, just rumor talk from some reliable guys in other forums. its just a rumor that they're looking for him plus the fact that Randy said in an interview, cant remember where, that he would come out of retirement specifically for this fight.
