WHAT!*@&$&%()&*%$
is couture serious? this is like david vs. goliath. i love randy and all but this is a bit much i think for him. sylvia sucks hard but he is just too big for natural. if randy whin this fight i’ll go down on him.

ill believe it when i hear it with my own ears. it sounds too good to be true WAR COUTURE!!!

I’m anxious to see this fight. I honestly believe that Couture will take out Sylvia and be the new heavyweight champ. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have to face Crocop and walks away and back into retirement after this fight. A fight between Randy and Mirko is not one that I would care to watch….especially knowing what Mirko is capable of. Much love and props to Randy however…..he’s got so much respect in the MMA world because he’s humble and a incredible fighter.

Too good to be true???? How is this good for Couture? As much as I dislike Sylvia, the guy is BIG, rangy, has heavy hands and is strong. Randy is totally overmatched at heavyweight — its the reason he dropped down to LHW. He realizes this 4 years ago, I don;t know what he thinks has changed 4 years later and 4 years older.

i can’t say that i know a whole lot, but even i know that this matchup will just send couture back into retirement. what is he thinking?

This is crazy for Couture. He doesn’t really have a future in heavyweight. Look at the them, Silvia, Cro Cop, Arlovski. Theres soo many thats too big, too strong and trained in all mma types of fighting. i know he is a fighter and wants to fight but sometimes its better to tell a fighter, no. I hate Silvia’s play it safe ass. Having said that he’s a giant of a man and will just sit back and pick and poke his way through the night. Not good Joe. Come on your better then this at matchmaking.

I, for one, hope the head guys know something we don’t. Couture is the man, but heart and determination can’t always prevail over pure size and strength. If he wins though, I hope the whole MMA world laughs their butt off at Sylvia’s expense.

I hope this doesn’t happen to be honest. I think Randy is great, and if he decides to return he should get to fight someone his own size. The only reason I can see him fight in heavyweight is that he may not feel he can cut to 205… I just don’t see how anyone couture’s size, no matter how talented they are can take out Silvia.

Randy: This is a bad idea. Does anyone remember Dan Severn’s last humiliating trip into the octagon? Let’s get some young blood in there to kick Sylvia’a ass!

I think Couture will kick his $. Just because he is older does not mean he cannot take him out. Lets remember that he is the only one to ever have a light heavyweight and heavyweight title.

Figures from a fan named betty. Look Couture don’t let this big clown get to be able to say he beat The Natural. This is the reason you quite being a heavyweight. Huge men cutting to 265lb and fighting safe don’t lose fights. This won’t turn out much differant then the Jeff Monson fight. And Tim Silvia we still won’t respect or like you!!

Quit dissing Betty, and learn to spell Tommi
Randy will take him to the ground, and beat his fat lazy ass
Period
Why dont you want him to come back?
He IS old, but I want to see him fight as long as he can, especially if it involves beating a fat loser like silvia
Would you rather see Silvia Monson II?

I think Randy will defeat Tim, Tim will be so worried about Randy taking him down that he will forget about Randys punching power he also has heavy hand he did out strike Chuck liddell in ther first fight. Randy will find a way to take down Tim and once again be named HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD Randy is a much better fighter than Tim will ever be I truly think experience will play a very large roll in this fight and Randy is not too small he walks around at about 225lbs Arlovski is only 240lbs and he beat Tim Silvia the same way Randy would fight him take him down and submit him.

blasphemous! randy couture has proven time and time again that he is capable of anything! just because he has been ko’ed by the heaviest hitting light heavyweight champion of all times, doesn’t mean he can’t defeat sylvia. sylvia is the most unathletic champion I have ever witnessed. Randy is clearly a superior wrestler and I am disgusted that very few of you don’t give him a chance.

Couture, round 4, submission

I love reading the posts of people who think they are all that.

I really love this quote from jake, “Arlovski is only 240lbs and he beat Tim Silvia.” This is very funny. He beat Tim one time and what happened in the long awaited rematch? That’s right, the so-called pit bull was KTFO and put to sleep. I thought that was funny because of all the Tim haters who are too stupid to understand or to young to know better. To be the champ you have to beat the champ and the Pit Bull could only do it in 1 of 3 attempts and now he is just a regular fighter without a belt.

How about the guy (Monson)who was supposed to be so great and a world champ at something but could not beat Tim?

Like him or not, he is the champ! If you want to cry about him being the champ then go watch that fake crap WWE where no person could really pull a stupid RKO on someone unless they have been drinking for 2 days straight.

I like most fighters in the UFC and will not personally degrade them like most of you people. I like Matt Huges as well but cannot figure out how he was the champ for so long. Not everyone likes Matt because he runs his mouth and puts down other fighters and he paid for this and lost his belt.

Anderson Silva is another fighter that many do not like yet he beat the hell out of Franklin who was supposed to be all that. Way to cocky and he paid for it but is he a loser because he got destroyed? No!

If you don’t like Tim then don’t watch him. If you were all that then get in there with him and shut him up if you can. I think most are just jealous of Tim because he beat your boy whom ever that may have been so get over it already.

Up until a year or so ago I had never heard of Randy C but watched a few of his fights and started to like him until he was running his mouth about fighting Tito if he beat Chuck which anyone with an ounce of sense knew was not going to happen and as expected Chuck proved Tito is not even close to Chuck and should stick to Ken Shamrock and I like Tito but know when he is outclassed.

Randy with get hurt if he fights Tim. I doubt Tim will play with Randy and will really hurt him. Randy should stayed retired or fight someone that will put the worst beat down on him that he has ever had. I will watch the fight and you will all see that Randy is no match for Tim. When Tim finally puts Randy into retirement than I hope the Tim haters will finally shut the hell up.

Aslo, for you people who think this Vera guy is all that. Why not let him fight Arlovski and see what happens. If Vera cannot be him then he sure doesn’t have a chance at Tim.

He did beat Chuck the first time and did fight Tito after. In fact spanked him on the ass in the middle of the fight to embarassed him and did just that. I’ve watched Randy since his first fight with Vitor Belfort.

Also styles make fights and if Vera lost to the pitbull it would not guarantee he would also loss to Tim. Differant fighters, differant fight. Plain and simple.

Tim sylvia sucks, hes tall and thats about it. Arlovski should still have the belt in my opinion. But, when Tim fights randy, he’ll get taken down and beaten. Tim can’t sprawl on randy’s take downs and if he just stands, then randy will push him up against the cage and sweep him to the ground. Tim will have no chance in this fight. Couture might be older, but if he beat Tito and Chuck, then he can Tim Sylvia easily.

“Chuck proved Tito is not even close to Chuck and should stick to Ken Shamrock and I like Tito but know when he is outclassed.”

I just looked up after reading a couple posts. so, Darryl, you are a moron. Chuck is not a better fighter than tito. He won the fight at ufc 66. But, that was just stupid. Tito survived liddell’s punches in the first round, which were way worse than the ones that ended the fight, and probably won the 2nd round. If you watch the fight you can see Liddell hit Tito with a lucky upper cut in the tird round. He then throws a bunch of combos, which are only hitting Tito’s arms. You can hear Randy couture saying "Chuck’s punches are not hurting Tito. 2 seconds later, the fight is stopped – bull shit! Tito is a better fighter. He’ll be back on top eventually.

Chuck beat Tito plain and simple. Lets see, the first first Tito and his fans were yelling it was a thumb in the eye. Now the fans are yelling he wasn’t hurt. Your boy got beat again and if Tito wants another beating then I am sure Chuck with be all to happy to slap him around again.

Poor Randy and his supporters. I wouldn’t care if his was 25 and taking on the champ. He would still take a beating. You have the right to your own opinion but Randy will be out class by the “out of shape” champ some of you claim he is and the tall and clumsy champ with lay a beat down on Randy. I really do hope Tim doesn’t hurt him as bad as I believe he will.

There are still some people out there who still think Mike Tyson is still the champ. I guess no matter how many times a person has been beat his fans will think of some excuse as to why he lost. That’s right, blame the other guy!The champ will break his hand on the face of Randy.You never know maybe it may improve his looks.

I dont think Tim Sylvia gets enough credit..yes he just stalks around the ring and his last couple fights have been lack luster, and it looks like he just fights enough to win, but he beat Arlovsky, who about a year ago was deamed invincable, it wasnt pretty at all, and id rather see Arlovsky with the belt, but nevertheless it happened, twice. Now Couture is out matched and out gunned, Tim Sylvia has awesome stand up and i dont care what you say, he has good sprawls, but the reason Couture is everyones hero is because he has that “it” factor that puts goosebumps on everyones arms..he has been the underdog in over half of his UFC fights, but he is the most decorated champion in history.. I see this as a good fight, and i dont belive anyone will be able to predict whats gonna happen

Sylvia should not be the champ as he lost to arlovski 3 rounds to 2 ufc 61.

First point.

Second point, Randy if he wins will be on points for octagon control.

Cro Cop v Arlovski will not happen in the next 2 years as the ufc are saving them.

Ufc 70 coming to England, boo, jubilant at first v, disappointed found out what crappy match card what’s the point all this way for nothing.

I would like to have seen Liddle v R. Evans given chuck so practise for Rampage.

LOL

well Couture just kicked sylvia’s ass. Just thought id put that out there for all of the morons who thought randy was too old and what not.
