| Randy...LHW or HW? Where does he go from here...
Rogan asked him afterwards if he was going to drop to LHW...
Interested to hear what everyone thinks he should do moving forward...

Randy vs Wandy was the dream fight a long long time ago was it not? I think it'd be an amazing matchup! I think Randy vs Forrest(they train together but...), Rashad, Rampage and even Rich Franklin would be amazing main event quality fights, even though Randy doesn't have TOO main events before father time FINALLY finds him, but until then, I think the idea'd be a cool one.
Chuck had been rumoured to be jumping to heavyweight recently, and he's the one who'd given Randy such a hassel the last two LHW title fight's Randy had and a Randy/Chuck 4 isn't impossible to imagine.
End of day, I just want to see Randy fight, no matter who, at what weight or in any company.

My vote is for LHW. There are some very solid fights for him there.
Rampage, Chuck IV, Rashad, Franklin, Tito II (if he goes back to the ufc and gets a real win), Shogun, Anderson Silva (he wants his super fights right)

The funny and slightly sad thing about the UFC HW division is that all Randy needs is one win to get another title shot. If he simply fought the loser of Mir vs Nog and won he would probably get another shot.
Now, I don't think he would want to fight Brock again. Just because he's been there done that and only has a few fights left, presumably. I guess he could fight until he's 55, he is Randy Couture. I'm banking that Nog beats both Mir and Lesnar. So if Randy beat Mir that would line him up for a shot against Nog, which I think would be a good match in general and from a $ standpoint. However, this all depends on who beats who, which is never certain.
LHW does have alot of interesing matchups so I wouldn't be dissapointed to see him there. I do NOT want to see Liddell vs Couture IV.
Note: Whoever he fights next, if he loses, he retires.

I said a few days ago I would like to see him at LHW, but there's nothing for him to accomplish. Yes, he can beat a few fighers, and get a title shot, but once again, he becomes the champion, and then what? A Liddell vs. Couture 4? Doesn't interest me at all.

I'm not sure why Randy vs Chuck 4 would be "bad". .. God I hate making excuses for guys especially when i'm a known Chuck "fanboy" but trust me i've watched all three prior fights numerous times, in fight 2, Randy got eye poked and threw both caution into the wind as well as the gameplan, trying to get ahold of Chuck and got popped clean. end of night.
Fight 3, Randy slipped on the decal and ran into one of the worst things in MMA to run into. .. a clean shot from Chuck, End of night.
I'd be interested in seeing one more from those two, in no way did Chuck decidedly prove Randy doesn't belong in a cage with him.. .. Classic matchups are meant to be enjoyed for as long as they can be.
