I think Vitor needs to stay at 185 after the Franklin fight; he’s had a lot of success at MW and not so much at LHW.

I wouldn’t mind it if he loses to Franklin, but if he wins he will be moving in a different direction. I think the first fight was the best. The second was unfortunate, and the third he didn’t really look like himself. Didn’t seem like he trained right for it or was motivated for it. One thing about a Couture Belfort match is that it won’t be a snoozefest!!

Vitor at middleweight makes sense. Would love to see him battle Silva.
But watching him fight Randy does nothing for me.
Maybe against Dana White in a boxing match.

Thedoctor,

      Your not a shrink though are you? So I dont think a Proctologist has any clue about why or how randy would win or lose. I think you’ve been sniffin too much ass. And no I dont want you to check my prostate so stop asking!

If Belfort wins, he should challenge the loser of Hendo/Nate, for a run at 185. If he loses, fight Wand. Just stay at MW.

I know Randy would school Vitor again, but i’m all for it. The 3rd Couture-Belfort fight is one of my all time favorites. Coming right after that weak fluke of a win, that saw Vitor win the 205lb strap by cutting randy’s eyelid with his glove within the 1st minute. Randy came out with something to prove and he gave Vitor a man sized beating in which, if my memory serves me well, Vitor couldn’t answer the bell for the 4th round. It was classic Couture, along with Couture-Ortiz, Couture-Lidell 1,and Couture-Rizzo 1. Those are the matches of Legend.

Didn’t Belfort say that he didn’t even want to face Silva?

This fourth match-up would stink. It’s just not a fight that people want to see. With all do respect VITOR, YOU NEED TO PROVE YOURSELF BEFORE GETTING A SHOT AT RANDY

HEY THEDOCTOR come check mu nuts in your mouth

Why don’t we just make it 5 times then

Vitor maybe did get lucky in there 2nd fight, bt he through the punch and cut randy causing the bout to be stopped, it wasnt like it ws a clash of heads which caused the cut, it ws a punch

UFC 109: “Classic” or “Redundant”

Hughes vs Trigg 3
Belfort vs Couture 4
Chuck vs Tito 3

yeah, i would agree if it was his fist that hit randys eye, but it wasn’t..

the punch vitor through didn’t even hit randy. the seam of the glove graised his eyeball..

Man this is such a good fight but I love both fighters. Don’t enjoy seeing either of them lose. Would still pay to see it though!

in related news rich franklin sucks how does he headline fights? pee on him

I’m like alot of you on here. I’m not interested in seeing Randy fight Vitor again. Randy only has what, 5 or 6 fights remaining on his new contract. I don’t want to see them wasted on someone he has already fought. He destroyed Vitor, it wasn’t even close. Besides, Vitor needs to stay at 185 anyway. He stands a much better chance there, not at lhw. I say give Randy a good match at 205 and if he wins, then we want to see interesting matches and him against Machida or the Spider interests me.

I agree Brandon. I’d like to see him fight Wandy at 205 for his first fight back at 205. It’s a fight we all have been wanting to see for years even though it’s not exciting now as it would have been a few years ago. If Randy wins, then lets give him Machida, or The Spider in a 205 lb. super fight.

I agree Brandon. I’d like to see him fight Wandy first at 205. I know it’s way overdue and not as exciting as it would have been a few years ago, but it still needs to happen and I think this would be a good first fight for Randy back at 205.

I’d like to see his first fight at 205 against Wandy. I know Wandy needs to be at 185, but this is a fight that is long overdue.

Wandy

The Axe Murderer

I’d really like to see Randy fight Wandy for his first fight back at 205. It’s a fight that’s long overdue and I think it’s a good first fight back at 205 for Randy.

Franklin sucks??? Are you nuts?!? In 30 fights Rich’s only losses have been to Anderson, Machida, and Hendo. For those counting, that’s 2 current world champions (and P4P best) and a narrow decision loss against a legendary 2 division PRIDE Champion. Sheesh! Cut him some slack.

A lot of you guys are definitely on some form of medication because if you think Randy can mix it with anyone in the LW division then you need to come and see me, Everyone goes on how a great strategic he is, but to the Doc, he’s very one dimensional, bobbing and weaving like a boxer with no knockout power,and if that don’t work he’ll try and take you down, and even there I don’t think he has the power that he once had, look how easy Nog mounted him – come on?!

Here’s my 5 a day…

Randy v Rampage (Rampage knock out)
Vera, too fast, win by leg kicks.
Machida – forget it!
T,Silva, too hungry,good allrounder, knockout.
Evans, too strong.
As for heavyweight, forget it,he’s way too small.

Remember boys to keep taking those tablets.

I think Randy would destroy Vera and would have a very good shot against Evans or Thiago. And I think if anybody can beat Machida, sylistically speaking, it’s Randy. He’s got the best takedowns of anybody that size and would give Machida huge problems on the ground or against the wall if he’s able to close the distance. (Admittedly that’s a big “if” but Randy’s got a better chance than anybody else.) But what I really wanna see is Randy welcoming Tito back to the Octogon with another spanking.

if this fight ever happens which it wont it will be on the same card as hughes/gsp 4, liddel/ortiz 3, jacksons/silva 4, and arlovski/sylvia 4.

I cant wait

Vitor vs Couture makes no sense….people don´t wan´t see this fight. Let´s feed Belfort with a rematch with Wanderlei Silva. would be great if the fight happens in Brazil …

anyone feeling a Liddell/Couture 4? It couldn’t be bad for either one.

randy has always been sooooo overrated.

It’s not a bad fight, but I want to see Vitor compete at 185. If he beats Franklin he is in the title hunt from the get go. Also I think it’s hurting the UFCs middleweight division that so many of their top contenders (well Henderson and Franklin at least) as well as their champion seems determined to compete at 205. Don’t get me wrong, I see why Franklin did it allthough it seems a little pointless if ANderson to goes to 205, but the whole middleweight division seems to be playing matchmaker theese days (Except Nate) with Henderson saying he will not fight Nate and Anderson not wanting to fight Henderson again before he potentially beat Marquart. I like seeing Silva at 205 but his first priority needs to be defending his belt. What ever happened to champions not picking there opponents.

Vitor vs Wanderlei II

Now that’d be a rapid-fire barn burner!

BTW, this is a little off-topic, but for some inconceivable reason Randy continues to lie about his height and claim to be 6’2" I have met him, talked with him, shaken his hand (which was huge) and taken a photo with him. I’m just a hair under 6 feet and Randy is a good inch or so shorter than me. Maybe he was 6’2" in High School and all that wrestling has caused spinal compression like old people get. I dunno, but I can promise you he’s not 6’2" and it’s obvious in all his staredowns.
