Fights I’d like to see:

 Randy vs…

Shogun
Mir
Cro Cop
Rashad
Tito
Rampage

When I think about Randy’s career, I see him as a vastly over rated heavyweight, who’s good at best, wins, were magnified by the age factor. as a heavyweight, I never thought he was anything special, but I have to admit…since coming out of retirement to fight Sylvia, he has turned himself into a top heavyweight…but Prior to the sylvia fight, if you take age out of the equation…he was nOTHING Special! Today, however, I gotta keep it real and say that he is a pretty tough HW to beat. I think, TODAY he still has what it takes to beat guys like mir (who he would crush), Kongo, Cro Cop, maybe Cain…so Randy signing this new deal is a GOOD THING.

So much for my prediction of Fedor vs. Randy next August!

So much for Dana Banning fighters who sign on with EA sports video game!

Yea you gotta love that fight John, regardless of who won, both guys looked great, and made a great show of it. All the haters sayin “battle of the old guys” or that this fight wasn’t main event worthy got shut up last night.

FOCK THAY! All of you wrote off my main man Rodrigo, and now he just catapulted himself write back to the top were he belonged.

Anyone still think Mir’s win over him was impressive?hahahaha FOCKING KLOWNS!!!!

John I told ya countless times, that Randy will never leave the UFC to fight Fedor. That fight will happen in the UFC if it happen 1 day.

Couture-Nog was a superb fight, Randy showed how tough he is, I was sure that he was finished both times when Nog dropped him and locked in tight submissions, whilst Nog proved that he still has it and can still perform to a world-class standard. Both fighters’ critics were put to shame last night, full credit to both of them. Randy can still put on a show and will always be a big draw and Big Nog is back to his best, the HW division just got more exciting.

Randy might actually die if he fought Fedor. If he got rocked by Nog, I would seriously fear for Captain Paycheck’s health in that fight. The odds would probably be like 1500 Fedor-not even remotely competitive.

i wish john wud just go away everyone hates him and hes so uneducated about mma..

guyverbob i agree. he’s a “focking” idiot

shut up you clowns…anyone, saying john is uneducated about mma proves they are new here and been watching wwe all along..everytime john refers “klowns” to his posts..i always think about you kids..

CroCop would be an interesting opponent but he has a big test ahead of him in Junior Dos Santos. I put together a promo video for the quick handed Brazilian rising talent over the weekend. Click on my name or follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZRXJ0TXpfc for a look.

He’ll still be relevant, but um….you guys know he came UP to heavyweight AFTER getting KO’ed twice in a row at LHW?

Jase, after cc breaks every limb in dos santos..you will fear a randy vs cc matchup…that will certainly be his end!

Look at Randy’s record Adam, half the fights he’s got he hasn’t deserved, it’s all about the money. I think he’ll defo take on Machida down the line, he’ll run out of opponents very soon. Rampage is trying every trick in the book to not have to fight him, even sporting a mohawk and brass jewellry as part of the A-Team, nobody wants to see a Rashad rematch either.

Good points attakdog. A fight with CroCop would be cool if CroCop gets by DosSantos. That could be a big fight.

Yeah I agree. I reckon he’d beat either of those two, so the UFC could keep him built up and keep him looking legitimate for when they need him to take on Machida.

He won’t fight Forrest, they’re both good friends and Randy has trained him for years. But I agree with the other fights, Randy may not be the best fighter but he is still a legend and a big draw who is the master of overcoming the odds and this last fight proved how difficult it is to finish him off, any other HW would have tapped out to Nog so it shows how tough the guy is.

I have heard Dana say he was tired of that whole “Friends not fighting friends”. Some of the best fights out there is between friends. Dana is here for the money not friends.

Yeah I don’t understand that either, Friends not fighting. It is business. I do some marketing and my friends do it as well. We all bid on the same jobs when we know of them. It doesn’t make me any less friendly with them. Every business and sport has friends against friends. So why not the UFC?

As usual you’re wrong (which is nothing new); Couture consistently fights the best, he’s a lot better than his record would indicate. He’s come out on top more times than he’s supposed to or expected to. If he was undeserving or overrated he wouldn’t have won the belt 5 times. Couture was always put in to lose, he was supposed to be the fight that validated their up and comer, Chuck Liddell, Pedro Rizzo, Vitor Belfort, the UFC put him in as a stepping stone for all those fighters and it didn’t happen. Randy’s created his own opportunities off fights he wasn’t supposed to win in the first place. All the hate this guy gets is completely unwarranted. He’s a hall of famer, one of the greats; so he loses to Nog and all the haters wanna act like he lost to a nobody. Please.. try making sense once in a while.

randy couture is a legend…enough said… WAR RANDY

To a certain extent he is overhyped, but his record would look a ton better if he took the easy money fighting cans in japan too. Let’s see if you’re man crush Fedor’s still competitive and getting 6 fight contracts when he’s 46.

Randy is a legend because he’s been with the UFC from the very early days and’s still there now and being competitive. That’s a testament to how he’s adapted his game, how many other guys from the early days are doing what he’s doing??? Shamrock’s younger and was awful when he came back, Kerr was in the UFC same time as Randy joined, he’s 6 years younger and couldn’t last 30 seconds against King of the cans Mo.

Actually the fact that he won 5 belts shows precisely how overrated he really is. Didn’t Dana say that this was the second three round fight he’s ever had in the UFC??? That’s absolute insanity and this type of BLATANT favoritism to a big moneymaker is exactly why MMA is not a real sport.

That entire post is completely ignorant; BLATANT favoritism?? Right.. thats why they even talk about and still admit to bringing him in to LOSE to guys like Rizzo, Liddell and Belfort so that they could market those younger fighters. Thats favoritism? Then when he wins the fights that he’s not supposed to and gets recognition for it he’s undeserving? MMA is an awesome sport, and it’s getting better all the time as the talent pool in each division gets deeper and deeper. Take your ignorance elsewhere.

Truth

And we voted for his old man, too, so nyah!

Randy may finish his career only 1 or 2 wins above .500. That’s journeyman, folks.

Seriously, leave the politics out of it unless you’re going to strap on a pair of balls and let everyone know where you are from.

Everyone talks about Couture’s record like that tells the entire story; thats complete BS, anyone fighting top level competition EVERY FIGHT is going to have loss’s. He never takes a break and fights some can in between big fights; he gets a top guy or a champion almost EVERY time; how the hell do you people hate on that?? Some serious haters around here, it’s sickening..

And how the hell do loss’s to Chuck Liddell, Nog, Brock Lesnar, Josh Barnett, Ricco Rodriguez and Vitor Belfort (Which really shouldn’t count as a loss), make him overrated? Seriously, which one of those guys was just some can when they fought Couture? Get real..

“16-10 Randy is a legend in US while Fedor 30-1 is labeled as a joke. But then what do i expect from the people who elected Bush TWICE”

100% correctumoondo.

you really need to look at his record in context. I really don’t understand how people can criticize the best in our sport, it makes me feel like you don’t really like watching mma in first place. from his 4rth or 5th fight, randy was fighting the top names in the game. rizzo and barnett and ricco may be names that don’t mean much to the casual or new mma fan, but anyone who knows the history of the sport knows that randy always fought the best, from the beginning. he’s one guy who almost never had a warm up fight, never fought a can, never knocked out 20 dudes in hook n’ shoot before got into the ufc. He started in the ufc, he always fought the top tens in the world.

You guys are arguing with people who rarely if ever see reason or keep an open mind……

Pretty much true Chef, I should know by now Intro doesn’t understand reason or sensibility, among other things.

gaara you are without doubt the biggest tool on this site!

LMSAO – Bonjasky?? He’s in K1 you f@cking ret@rd and never fought MMA in his life.

If you think Randy would “be battered by fujita, zuluzinho and HMC” then you really should be in a padded cell wearing a rubber helmet!

Such poetry gaara! Not hurt at all, I’m a far bigger fan of Nog than I am of Randy and would much prefer to see him take on Brock. I was merely defending Couture’s “legend” status", which to me isn’t in question. He’s never been one of my favourites but I respect the guy’s achievments and ability to still be relevant at 46.
