randy fell into dana’s trap. dana cares about money not couture. if he cared about the legend of couture he wouldnt throw him into the fire against sylvia in his first fight in over a year. all those months of calling he realized he was missing more money—-not randy couture. its a disgrace. i know couture is a big boy, but this is just retarded.

Dana is a great showman in the mode of P.T. Barnum.

This will be proven when that big-turd Silvia finally wakes up staring into the bright lights above the octagon.

I totally agree way you about Timmy. I think he’s shite and has no talent but still manages to win fights. He only wins because of his size if was smaller then he wouldn’t even make it in the UFC

You guys are asleep at the wheel…The Maine-iac is gonna stuff Randy like a cornish hen. Love him or hate him you can’t deny the murderous hands of Tim Sylvia. The only person who can stop him is Cro Cop.

Cheers!

Tim is a no talent ass clown, i cant wait to see randy snatch that belt out from under his goofy as feet.

Randy is a great fighter no-doubt, but I don’t think this is a good fight for him. He’s 43 years old for crying out loud!! Tim is 13yrs younger and too big and strong for Randy to handle. I think this is just a result of not having a very deep field in the heavy weight division and they needed somebody to fill the gap untill Cro Cop can take the belt. Obviously Heath Herring didn’t help Dana out, so he was left scrambling to find a plan B. This reminds me of an over the hill Shamrock fighting Ortiz and I think it will go the same way. Dana would put his mother in the ring with Silva if he thought we would buy it on PPV. Of course, anything can happen and Randy has a puncher’s chance for sure.

Dont get me wrong, Randy is one of my fav fighters in the game, but to me his retirement seemed like a temper tantrum. It was like, if I cant be #1 then Im outta here. I think he realized it was a bad move, and Dana knew what was up too, which is why he knew hed come back if he bugged him enough. So now hes had a challenge dangled in front of him that got his interest peaked, and its gonna be a great fight. I dont think Dana would put his mother in, but he is going to box Tito, so any feeding Randy to Tim for $ comments are really unfounded, he knows anything can happen in fights, and if Randy doesnt want to come back till hes given a heavyweight title shot, then how is that Dana putting him in for a beating? Thats Randy’s choice folks, not that I dont imagine Dana sitting in his undies laughing with his hands gripping fists full of $, but come on, hes no more a cold scrooge then any other Business men, thats what he does, make money for the company.

exactly its randy choice, hes a big boy and can take care of himself..I think randy can push Tim to the limit…if he doesnt beat him he can make Tim a better champion

I hope Randy slaps the crap out of tim the idiot,I think the next time Andrei fights Tim hes going to pound him,and I also think Cro Cop should have to fight Andrei to get to the idiot

two words for randy, ricco rodriguez haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. tim put that clown to sleep. gl randy ur a great fighter i just wish u stayed in retirement

You don’t think that Dana fed Shamrock to Ortiz? That whole season of TUF reminded me of a WWE promotional gimic and looked very scripted at times just so they could all cash in. Then when the fans raised hell about it he had no choice but to save face and feed him to him again on free T.V.

Good post All American.

yeah all american that got pretty cheesy at times, not nearly as cheesy as there shit talking and comebacks…i belive tito at one point called Ken “red guy” haha i dont know…

but all american, this is Randy Couture, not Ken Shamrock….big difference

I wish you guys would stop ######## all over Tim Sylvia. He does that plenty himself. It’s not like he needs the help.
