UFC All Access: Randy Couture to be featured on Spike special

Finally a UFC All Access show featuring the one and only Randy Couture. He is so taking down Gonzaga. I wonder who Randy will fight next after be beats Gonzaga? Maybe Arlovski?

Randy’s doing a movie? Man I hope he doesn’t put his training secondary to some stupid crap.

Rachelle Leah All access inside her shower when is that one coming out ?

Oh yeah Randy Couture over Gabriel Gonzaga TKO Round 3

Now back to Rachelle :-)

Please Randy, no steroids! You’re our only hope.

I admire Randy, but Gonzaga will tear him apart. 1st round stoppage.

Just like Sylvia is gonna tear him apart right?

Dana White isn’t going to give Arlovski a title shit after his poor performance against Werdum. He said so himself.

Shot*

i am so surprised by what Randy did to Tim, but Tim was injured. I hope Randy can put up a competitive performance against Gonzaga but i think that Randy won’t last two rounds. Gonzaga by 2nd round sub.

I hope Randy doesn’t suffer from the All Access curse. Everyone else has either lost (Arlovski, GSP) or tested positive for roids (Sherk).

And after going back and analyzing more of Gonzaga, I’m not as convinced that he’ll beat Couture. Couture has been known to wear down against bigger grapplers (Barnett, Ricco), but Gonzaga doesn’t exactly have the greatest gas tank ever. I could definitely see Randy winning a decision.

With that being said, bring back Amber Miller. She was way hotter than Rachelle

Rampage broke the curse didn’t he?

I’ve been watching a lot of old Couture fights and I’m going to switch my prediction. RC by TKO in the 4th.

Yes I’m on that bandwagon. The view is nice up on this thing. ;)

Part of me wants Coture to win and the other wants Gonzaga to win. Coture is a great respectable fighter and Gonzaga is part of the future of the HW division. This is a hard fight to pick a side for. I hope it is a good one.

The Rachelle Leah curse…..Oh Great. Get Gonzaga’s waist measurements ready…. She needs to do Playboy or some other smut mag to help get UFC out there…more mainstream. C’mon Dana…u can part the waters, you can get Leah in PBOY.

Just give us a good, up and down, all over the cage, technical
fight. And for the love of all that is good and holy. Please don’t let anyone be using steroids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but there is an all access curse if i was randy i wouldnt do it

Just like Sylvia is gonna tear him apart right?

I did think sylvia would beat couture, but I was wrong. I won’t be wrong about this. Gonzaga is the best heavyweight out there. You just don’t know it yet. Besides couture is so boring to watch fight its almost painful.

Couture is anything but boring you ignoramous. My God, how many UFC events have you watched?

Randy’s doing a movie? Man I hope he doesn’t put his training secondary to some stupid crap.

I think randy is smarter than to let hollywood get in the way of his fight preperation. He has always been a consumate professional, with great training, and world class gameplans. If Napao is to win… he is gonna have to bring it, because I will guarentee you that randy will be ready to fight.

hey UFCMania,

Therefore, since Couture faces Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 75: “Respect” on August 25, expect to see this debut sometime during the week of August 20.

i think you mean UFC 74, fyi.

Finally a UFC All Access show featuring the one and only Randy Couture. He is so taking down Gonzaga. I wonder who Randy will fight next after be beats Gonzaga? Maybe Arlovski?

Maybe he sign with elitexc after gonzaga slaps him around. Maybe he can fight buenatello?

Couture is anything but boring you ignoramous. My God, how many UFC events have you watched?

i SMELL A TIM SYLVIA VS. NOGUERRA IN nOVEMBER AT UFC 78 IN NEWARK NEW JERSEY. This is just a feeling.. there is no truth to this except that Big Tim is scheduled to fight on that card. I just like seeing tim sylvia get slapped around.

Couture is anything but boring you ignoramous. My God, how many UFC events have you watched?

Come on.. King Fedor is still on top… untill further notice
His stand up is great, ground and pound is legendary, great sambo, not to mention Ju Jitsu doesn’t seem to work on him( see both Noguera fights if you dont believe me). When Gonzago beats a top ten complete MMA fighter .(Not a glorified Kick boxer like Cro cop, who gases) than we can talk about Gonzaga.. right now those comments are just ridiculous.

Dude, we know who Fedor is. Cro cop not top ten? Cro cop gasses? Gonzaga beat arguably the best striker via striking fluke or not. That whole paragraph is rediculous.

Fedor has to join the UFC!He must avenge Coutures defeat and crush Gonzaga once and for all!

Have you watched Cro-Cop’s fights in Pride? His fight against Fedor?

You know for as much hipe as RC receives, he realy doesnt have the best MMA record considering his division; 15-8-0. I love RC dont get me wrong, but I dont know if he can handle the agressiveness of G. Gonzaga… Well See… Good Luck Randy, cant wait to see you fight buddy!

Dude records if you don’t know who they have foughten and what they have done considering their records, mean virtually nothing when it comes to comparing fighters.

I’m not sure what fights percox has been watching. All of Randy’s fights have been anything but boring. I think this is going to be a hard fight for Randy but I sure do hope he pulls it out. I like to see Tim come back strong and pull off a nice win against either Nog. or C.C. Then have another fight against Randy. Their last fight was definetly one sided but I believe a healthy Tim and Randy with clashing styles will make one hell of a fight.

Winner will face Fedor in a Unification bout of Heavyweight titles. Is a rumor I hear in my dreams. Couture wins the ground and I’ll give Gonzaga the stand up. Couture by Referee stoppage in the 2nd round. He may be old but he is still BAD!!

RC has fought pretty much all top flight fighters and beaten the best. He has nothing to prove or worry about with his 15-8 record.

Dude records if you don’t know who they have foughten and what they have done considering their records, mean virtually nothing when it comes to comparing fighters.

Like i said dont get me wrong, I love RC as a fighter and I understand records dont mean everything, but his reputation is so big and he is one of the most Highly paid fighters in the UFC and donest have THAT many fights under his belt. Thats all…

seems like alot people are real sure of gonzaga, even though we have not seen alot from him, maybe he’s that good? he knocked out cro cop, a great fighter. just remember alot of things can happen in any fight, was his knock out of cro cop a correct indicator of his talent level, or was his fight with werdum the correct indicator, its hard to tell, he has not had enough fights to tell. one thing i do know is randy is proven, hope its a great fight

I’ll agree his record isn’t the best, but he has also fought the most impressive list of opponents out of anyone in mma. No one really comes close to him as far as level of competition, even Fedor. I’m not saying he is better than Fedor, just that he’s fought more top caliber opponents

Vitor Belfort* x 3, Maurice Smith*, Jeremy Horn, Kevin Randleman*, Tsuyoshi Kohsaka, Pedro Rizzo x 2, Josh Barnett*, Ricco Rodriguez*, Tito Ortiz*, Chuck Liddell* x 3, Tim Sylvia*

All of these guys were top 10 fighters, with several of them ranked #1 in the world at one point or another. Notice all of those asterisks? Those are former heavyweight or light heavyweight champions. Add in the rematches, and he has fought a former lhw/hw champion 12 times in his career. A 15-5 ufc record (3 of his losses were in Rings) with 12/20 fights against former champions is far and beyond what any other fighter has faced. Even the fights that weren’t against belt-holders were pretty damn impressive. Rizzo at one time was the most feared striker in mma, which people tend to forget

for some odd reason I love Rachelle’s lisp. yes lisp

I find it difficult to focus on the All Access shows, it must be something to do with Rachelle’s ridiculously hot ass…

And ya, I’m aware Belfort’s title reign was due to a fluke cut over Coutre, but he still had the strap. Take that out and he has 9/20 fights against fighters who at one time held the title

Dude, we know who Fedor is. Cro cop not top ten? Cro cop gasses? Gonzaga beat arguably the best striker via striking fluke or not. That whole paragraph is rediculous.

Cro cop has losses against Fedor, Nogueira, Josh Barnett, Mark Hunt (made him run for his life). Who has he beaten really? Alexander Emelianenko, Mark Coleman, Wanderlei silva who wasnt even in his weight class, and a bunch of Japanease fighters who fought there hearts out but no one close to the top 10, (Eddie Sanchez lol). Dont get me wrong, there is only a few fighters I enjoy watching more than Mirko, Due to his knockout highlight real… But lets be honest with ourselves.. he is far from a complete mixed martial artist. I love Cro cop, and I am so grateful to have him in the UFC, but he has many holes in his game, and he seems to have a stuborn personality, and cockiness, to him that wont allow him to become more well rounded. Yeah yeah please dopnt mention the couple months that he trained with Fabricio Werdum, sick of hearing it, and he hasnt showed any notable improvements.

I think Cro cops fight with Cheik Kongo is the perfect fight for him. It should be exciting and both fighters will keep the fight on there feet which is the only place they can fight. It should be awesome, and tough for Cro cop, however I will be shocked if he doesnt win, after that baseball bat he took in the head from Gonzaga.

With that being said, bring back Amber Miller. She was way hotter than Rachelle

I question your sexuality after saying someone is way hotter than Rachelle Leah.

Have you watched Cro-Cop’s fights in Pride? His fight against Fedor?

Dream fight Cro Cop vs. Cabbage Correira. I would love to see how much of a beating Cabbage can take from Cro cop

I question your sexuality after saying someone is way hotter than Rachelle Leah.

Do an image search of Amber Miller. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. She was actually the premier ring card girl, but left due to some drama with Rachelle

With that being said, bring back Amber Miller. She was way hotter than Rachelle
I question your sexuality after saying someone is way hotter than Rachelle Leah.

Huh? I didnt type the original comment, but with your screen name, I would question your sexuality. Are you in love with French Canadians that have the mental strength of a 12 year old?

Actually I have seen every fight Fedor and Cro cop ever have been in Pride, and I have seen em multiple times. Whats your point Fedor out stuck him while they were on there feet, destroyed him on the ground, threw him around. Cusz Fedor was bvleeding a lil from the nose , am I supposed to be impressed. Cro cop is always on the attack in all his other fighs, buy the second round against Fedor he was in retreat mopde, and sure as hell didnt look like he wanted any part of the king. Cro cops awesome, I just cant see him beating Noguera, Fedor, Randy. He would be better suited against Arlovski, and Tim sylvia.

Dream fight Cro Cop vs. Cabbage Correira. I would love to see how much of a beating Cabbage can take from Cro cop

I agree regarding Fedor vs Cro Cop. That fight seems more and more 1 sided every time you watch it. In fact, Cro Cop didn’t do much of all in that fight after the first round, besides run away.

Fedor just tried to take him down again and again. That’s all. CC got the better of the striking. Their faces are evidance of that after the fight.

You can’t really go by how someone’s face looks to tell who won. I mean, Fisher looked way worse than Stout after their last fight, but won a clear cut decision. Fedor landed a lot more than Cro Cop, and was constantly pressing forward. Cro Cop only landed a few notable strikes in the first, then was on his bike for the remainder of the fight

Absolutely hysterical Violent Mike, never cease to amaze me

By the way, Since TIm Sylvia is scheduled for UFC 78 in New Jersey, of which I will be traveling to the Garbage state to see (from NY) I put money that Dana will spare him a brutal GNP beating and have him fight his old rival … Yes thats right Andre Arvlovski.

Dana has made no mention of him since UFC 70 and he is still under contract. I figure Dana tells him that he has one last shot to prove himself worthy of title consideration and he will deliver.

Randy Couture versus Andre Arvlovski UFC 82 anyone haha

Kevin “cuts” Kelly

Kevin Kelly, I too will be at the event in New Jersey (from CT), but damn, I may really have to reconsider if they book Arlovski/Sylvia 300 for that event…

I’m still praying every night that Wandy does indeed fight in November like he says he wants to, and Dana actually let him… And Chuck KO’s Jardine in the first minute of thier fight, so that way the fight of the decade will go down in the garden state! I’d even suffer thru a grand prix of 16 cloned Tim Sylvia’s fight each other with the winner to face Assuerio Silva to watch that fight live!

Serious, Percox, boring? I’m on the edge of my seats for all Randy fights, nothing he does is boring. Name a fight you think is boring, so we can rip you on it.

You’re right the two times he got knocked out by Chuck were very exciting. I guess if you like a guy laying on top of another guy & throwing a couple of elbows – he’s very exciting. You probably like hughes & sherk too. I’d rather watch a decent stadup fighter over couture any day. I have’nt seen all of randys fights, but I’ve seen all of his ufc fights, and some in smaller venues – are they really that exciting ?

I wouldn’t say ALL of his fights are boring.

After Gonzaga backhands randy a few times, maybe we can see an exciting heavyweight matchup like Gonzaga vs. Vera or Gonzaga vs. Arlovski

Dana White isn’t going to give Arlovski a title shit after his poor performance against Werdum. He said so himself.

Dana Says alot of things…

Arlovski did perform poorly against werdum. It is a shame how far back a loss sets these guys in there careers. Arlovski was too cautious, but he can be an exciting fighter. I would also like to see Vera vs Gonzaga or and uncautious Arlovski vs Gonzaga or Vera

Gonzaga VS Couture: First off I am not buying the hype on him just yet. Look at the facts, he beat a cocky Cro Cop who didn’t bother to train in a cage (yes it does make a difference), the same Cro Cop that seemed to have no idea what to do with those elbows that were being dropped on his head, a Cro Cop who was fed an Eddie Sanchez in his first fight, a Cro Cop who wants to retire as soon as his next 4 fights are up. Don’t get me wrong Cro Cop is dangerous but obviously he wasn’t mentally ready for that fight.

Couture on the other hand won’t make those same mistakes. I put my money on Couture who will be the fresher fighter come the later rounds. Gonzaga has trimmed up but I doubt he has the cardio to hang with Randy. Randy would have to get “caught” with a solid strike in order for Gonzaga to have a chance. Couture will out game plan him, out clinch him, and impose his will. On Paper this screams Gonzaga but we are talking about a master game planner.

Like i said dont get me wrong, I love RC as a fighter and I understand records dont mean everything, but his reputation is so big and he is one of the most Highly paid fighters in the UFC and donest have THAT many fights under his belt. Thats all…

You can’t really go by how someone’s face looks to tell who won. I mean, Fisher looked way worse than Stout after their last fight, but won a clear cut decision.

Maybe Fisher wasn’t being polite when he said he felt the fight was a draw? He hit Stout more often but I suspect Stout’s shots were putting the hurt on Fisher more than Fisher was putting it on Stout.

Besides the winning purse, and title belt I think if RC wins he should be able to take down Rachelle Leah with a rear naked choke, or get her in the Kamura….The man is a legend let him get to take down a fine piece of poon.

So here’s RC’s problem in my eyes. It doesn’t matter if he wins, heck, it’d do wonders for him if he los. He could fight for the Lightheavy weight belt or fight against people like cro-cop, shogun or werdum, in order to protect the integrity of the UFC vs Pride topic. GG stands a better chance than RC against Fedor, GG has less of a chance of getting his brain knocked loose by Fedor.

I don’t want Randy’s last fight to be a 1st round KO loss against Fedor. Though, Fedor will probably be a nice guy and just submit Randy, if the case arose.

Be realistic people, Tim Sylvia will probably lose to GG. Sylvia and AA were champs when there was no competition, save Monson.

Crocop’s lost to the best (Fedor, Big Nog) but he’s also lost to an also-ran (Randleman). Which group do you think Gonzaga falls into? Am I the only one thinking Gonzaga might be another Randleman and not the next Fedor?

I agree regarding Fedor vs Cro Cop. That fight seems more and more 1 sided every time you watch it. In fact, Cro Cop didn’t do much of all in that fight after the first round, besides run away.

My point exactly. With as well rounded as fighters are becoming today, we have to look at the holes in their games, and their abilities to put together gameplans to attack their opponants holes. Cro cop has more holes in his game than many of the top 10 fighters. However he can be as devestating and as exciting as they come

Crocop’s lost to the best (Fedor, Big Nog) but he’s also lost to an also-ran (Randleman). Which group do you think Gonzaga falls into? Am I the only one thinking Gonzaga might be another Randleman and not the next Fedor?

Plenty of people think that. Its an extremely shallow viewpoint though. Just observe their respective strengths, skills, and experience. Randleman was a journeyman who caught CC with a punch. GG is an upcoming young fighter who tooled CC completely.

I find it difficult to focus on the All Access shows, it must be something to do with Rachelle’s ridiculously hot ass…

What ass? She doesn’t have much of an ass at all. Don’t get me wrong she is hot, yet she would be a lot hotter if she was thicker imo.

In Couture we trust

has everyone who has been on all access lost their titles?

i am so surprised by what Randy did to Tim, but Tim was injured. I hope Randy can put up a competitive performance against Gonzaga but i think that Randy won’t last two rounds. Gonzaga by 2nd round sub.

I don’t think GG can last 5 rounds, Randy by GG gasing 4th or 5th round.

Come on.. King Fedor is still on top… untill further notice
His stand up is great, ground and pound is legendary, great sambo, not to mention Ju Jitsu doesn’t seem to work on him( see both Noguera fights if you dont believe me). When Gonzago beats a top ten complete MMA fighter .(Not a glorified Kick boxer like Cro cop, who gases) than we can talk about Gonzaga.. right now those comments are just ridiculous.

Your hero Fedor took 20 min to NOT FINISH a glorified kick boxer like CC, and he took a beaten in the process. GG hardly took a scratch and crushed him in under 5 mins., did you ever concider that.

You know for as much hipe as RC receives, he realy doesnt have the best MMA record considering his division; 15-8-0. I love RC dont get me wrong, but I dont know if he can handle the agressiveness of G. Gonzaga… Well See… Good Luck Randy, cant wait to see you fight buddy!

Randy is as agressive as they come.

I’m not sure what fights percox has been watching. All of Randy’s fights have been anything but boring. I think this is going to be a hard fight for Randy but I sure do hope he pulls it out. I like to see Tim come back strong and pull off a nice win against either Nog. or C.C. Then have another fight against Randy. Their last fight was definetly one sided but I believe a healthy Tim and Randy with clashing styles will make one hell of a fight

Randy always had Tims number in training just like Chuck always had Titos number in training. Randy has beaten Tim when he was healthy ,every time they trained together.

Like i said dont get me wrong, I love RC as a fighter and I understand records dont mean everything, but his reputation is so big and he is one of the most Highly paid fighters in the UFC and donest have THAT many fights under his belt. Thats all…

You mean he doesn’t have that many fights under his BELTS ( all 5 of them) Most guys don’t win 1 belt in that many fights let alone 5.

Crocop’s lost to the best (Fedor, Big Nog) but he’s also lost to an also-ran (Randleman). Which group do you think Gonzaga falls into? Am I the only one thinking Gonzaga might be another Randleman and not the next Fedor?

YES!

I know we’ve seen Sylvia-Arvlovski three times already, but I really do have a feeling that Dana needs to have a Heavyweight picture in place over the next few months. With that being said, we all know Tim Sylvia is coming back to fight at UFC 78 in New Jersey. Andre Arvlovski hasnt fough since April so its about time he gets back in the saddle.

You can eliminate Mirko Cro COp from consideration for the obvious reasons as an opponent for Sylvia, and Big Nog nearly got his shit pushed in by Heath Herring and should have lost no question about it. He obviously needs one more fight before title consideration.

It leaves no choice but for a number one contender match up between Tim Sylvia and Andre Arvlovski IV lol. No one else is a clear choice to take on Randy Couture after he beats Gonzaga.

Hoping for a Couture-Arvlovski showdown but a Sylvia re match would be fine as well.

In Couture we trust

Amen.
J

As for CC vs Fedor, all I was saying is he went the distance and that isn’t too bad vs that monster.

Cro-Cop is no more one dimensional than everyones favorite, Liddell. Both are strikers with good take down defense. Heck at this point Chuck may be more one dimensional since he doesn’t even really kick anymore, he’s a boxer at this point in his career, lazy I think. Not trying to say Cro-Cop is god or anything but I’d rather watch him than that fat slug Sylvia or the tentative Arlovski. GG beat him and now GG is the second coming of HW MMA and CC is a joke?

Anyway back to RC vs GG, Go Randy! :)

Maybe Fisher wasn’t being polite when he said he felt the fight was a draw? He hit Stout more often but I suspect Stout’s shots were putting the hurt on Fisher more than Fisher was putting it on Stout.

Or maybe he bruised easier. The decisions wasn’t exactly a tough one according to the judges, announcers, or any fan I’ve seen comment on it for that matter

Although I’d consider Cro Cop to be the superior fighter to Liddell, he is definitely more 1 dimensional. Cro Cop has great takedown defense, but Chuck has very good wrestling which he uses to avoid the takedown. And when Chuck gets taken down, he is very good at getting back to his feet, which Cro Cop has always had trouble with. He has also used his wrestling at times he’s been in trouble striking, ala vs Overeem.

MMA is still evolving, but a 1 dimensional fighter can still be successful. Just look at Sean Sherk, the long reign of Matt Hughes, or Tim Sylvia recently having the belt

c-war go eat a dlck,

All i was asying is that for the division he is in he hasnt had many fights THATS IT! I didnt say anything about how many he has won or how many of them were title fights… Look, Alot of MMA fights when they say I have more expeirence they have like a total of 30 fights under their belt. So please stfu and next time you read someones comment and “laugh” at it know what the person is saying 1st. Thank you.

You can’t really go by how someone’s face looks to tell who won. I mean, Fisher looked way worse than Stout after their last fight, but won a clear cut decision. Fedor landed a lot more than Cro Cop, and was constantly pressing forward. Cro Cop only landed a few notable strikes in the first, then was on his bike for the remainder of the fight

check out Fedors 6 or 7 hit combo that started with a right kick to body, it happened at the begining of the second round. It looked as if fedor was hittin a punching bag not cro cop. Mirko doesnt do to well against well rounded fighters. (He wants ono part of mark hunt either)

Oh, well If you wanna look at it frrom an entertainment standpoint, than hell yeh cro cop is grate to watch, but when it comes to a 5 round championship fight against the top 5, he will have big problems

I think the ammount of stuff Randy is doing is gonna hold him back. Dude has to focus on this fight… Gonzanga is a great physical fighter, his body is long, lean and strong… showed great standup, and yes bas is right by saying he has a lot of good people behind him. Randy’s answer to mantitties was an overhand right, take down, and lay and pray. GG isnt gonna be a push over like that, not saying that GG will win, but its gonna be a good fight. Personally, in close fights, I always bet on the wrestler.

I couldnt bring myself to bet against Randy in his last fight and Im not gonna do it again. I dont think this is going to be a real exciting fight tho. I think Randy is going to take gonzaga down and defend gonzagas submission game. Prolly be a RC decison

Gonzaga VS Couture: First off I am not buying the hype on him just yet. Look at the facts, he beat a cocky Cro Cop who didn’t bother to train in a cage (yes it does make a difference), the same Cro Cop that seemed to have no idea what to do with those elbows that were being dropped on his head, a Cro Cop who was fed an Eddie Sanchez in his first fight, a Cro Cop who wants to retire as soon as his next 4 fights are up.

Couture will out game plan him, out clinch him, and impose his will. On Paper this screams Gonzaga but we are talking about a master game planner.

I couldnt have said it better myself, Gonzaga will need a freakish knockout to winner, randy hasn’t gotten submitted often, and will destroy Napao in the clinch. Cant wait to c the gameplan couture whips up to chop down the brazilian tim sylvia lol. kidding tim is a bum, napao should make it an exciting fight. Im not sure he can go as hard as randy can for 25 minutes. TKO randy in the 4th

Crocop’s lost to the best (Fedor, Big Nog) but he’s also lost to an also-ran (Randleman). Which group do you think Gonzaga falls into? Am I the only one thinking Gonzaga might be another Randleman and not the next Fedor?

TD, I am also skeptical about announcing Gonzaga as the next great fighter. We dont know enough to even contimplate how he will look. I have no idea how GG will hold up in a 5 round championship bout against an opponant legendary for his world class game plans. I aint buying the Gonzaga hype yet. The public has made couture the underdog wich is the role he flourishes in. Randy walks away from this fight with the belt!

Your hero Fedor took 20 min to NOT FINISH a glorified kick boxer like CC, and he took a beaten in the process. GG hardly took a scratch and crushed him in under 5 mins., did you ever concider that.

Cro cop shouldnt even be in the same ring as FEDOR, a 20 minute dominating beatdown is far more impressive to me than a fluke flask knock out. Anyone have any idea as to when Verra will return to the octagon? I hope someone puts cro cops left leg in a knee bar and breaks it! Cocky as*whole, and Im sick of the Wildboyz song.

Gonzaga’s not an elite HW, but let’s not forget he was controlling Cro Cop on the ground before they got inexplicably stood up.

check out Fedors 6 or 7 hit combo that started with a right kick to body, it happened at the begining of the second round. It looked as if fedor was hittin a punching bag not cro cop. Mirko doesnt do to well against well rounded fighters. (He wants ono part of mark hunt either)

I agree. Cro Cop backs up against Fedor. Cro Cop needs a clear advantage in striking to be effective.

Gonzaga’s not an elite HW, but let’s not forget he was controlling Cro Cop on the ground before they got inexplicably stood up.

DW: “GG might actually win on the ground, STAND EM UP REF”
Ref: “Stand up guys”
GG: “TIGER, KICK!” (Street fighter reference)
CC: SMACK CRUNCH SILENCE
DW: “FUCK!”

Atleast thats the way I saw it going down. haha.. You’re right, there was no reason to stand em up.

Gonzaga’s not an elite HW, but let’s not forget he was controlling Cro Cop on the ground before they got inexplicably stood up.

thats cuz cro cop is like a fish out of water when he is on the ground. I hear gonzaga has strong bjj, I dont see him beating randy at this point in gg’s career

basically what I am trying to say is too much is being made over GG win over CC. That doesnt automatically make him a top 5 HW. He is young and has a promising career ahead of him, I just dont think he is ready for a 5 rd championship bout against the man with the master game plan RC

Rampage broke the curse didn’t he?

I thought the curse only applied to reigning champs?
