My suggestions

Fight Rich Franklin or Thiago Silva…..you on a roll, a huge star now its time to fight a hard fight, all due respect to Vera (who did win on y scorecard)

I like your Franklin idea

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

I know you didn't start smoking this early?

At least not on a thursday. Of course I know Franklin! Just that I haven’t heard his name in a while and kinda forgot about him.

Franklin McNeil of course

Good call on the Franklin fight

Randy can’t compete with the likes of elite strikers like Shogun, Machida, Lil Nog, or even Rashad (to a lesser degree). If he wants to keep fighting, he needs to stick to guys around 10 – 15. Otherwise he will get KO’d.

AMEN!!!

I think Rashad and Lil’ Nog are the two most interesting fights for him right now. Franklin’s not a bad matchup, I just don’t think it would be as exciting and I think they both stand to lose more than they stand to gain from that fight. I’d like to see Franklin vs Tito.

yes

I would love to see Ace smash Tito up

good Thing your card isnt the way fights are judged

huge sigh of relief washes over me

Franklin/Randy is a fantastic idea though.

Someone needs a little thicker skin if he’s going to make it with this crowd.

yeh

we will keep that kid in the crowd and away from the judges table

by BJPennfan on Feb 11, 2010 11:26 AM EST up reply actions  

of course he's not

Cause he’s smart, a great guy, and simply taking the opportunities presented to him.

While the rest of the world hates him.

Keep up the good work Captain America!

That's great

 There are so many interesting match ups for him! I don’t wanna see him fight for the title and lose! It ain’t cool! Just put him against guys who are perfect matches for him! I think Randy has got 2-3 more fights and will retire! But hopefully he’ll retire with a winning stick!

by pamirec on Feb 11, 2010 9:24 AM EST reply actions  

Randy/Franklin as pointed out above needs to be next. Great fight and I’d love to see them square off. Franklin is to the stage now too where he kinda needs to stay away from the top of the top so.

His contract

It was reported awhile ago it was a 6 fight/ 18 month deal, i guess which ever came first. He fought Vera and Coleman….lets say he fights Franklin, wins and fights the loser of Evans/Jackson wins…then he’s without a doubt the number 1 contender. At that point he fights the champ (whoever it is). If he wins he should retire when he losses or losses the title fight and retires.

So if he wins
against Franklin, beats the loser of evans/jackson and faces the champ…thats a fair road

by ThePunisher on Feb 11, 2010 9:33 AM EST reply actions  

Well he better be...

If he still wants to be relevant…

lol here we go again

So let me see if I got this straight:

Randy has to beat Gabe, Timmy, Fight Brock, distance w/Nog, beat Vera, Coleman, then beat Franklin, Loser of Shad/Rampage, then beat the champ to stay relevant?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ah ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ah ah! Oh you guys are too much!

That was rich guys! Good joke!

by daniel worby on Feb 11, 2010 10:29 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

agreed, Daniel

I love how people think Randy’s “losing streak” against the biggest, most powerful UFC champion of all time (Lesnar) and the best HW the UFC has EVER had (Nog), makes him “irrellevant” in a division of smaller, weaker guys, that Brock and Nog would have on a plate with tea and crumpets. Frakkin retards!

by (shonuff) on Feb 11, 2010 11:21 AM EST up reply actions  

You forgot his loss against Vera. Randy was utterly impotent in that fight…deal with it.

I’ll agree that Randy’s lackluster performance against Vera gave me doubts. But his losses to Brock and Nog cannot be seen as evidence of him being irrelevant at LH, when nobody else at LH is likely to have done as well as he did against those guys.

by (shonuff) on Feb 11, 2010 1:11 PM EST up reply actions  

Did you even read the post?

I said if randy wants a shot at the LHW title: Beat Franklin, beat the loser of shad/page and fight the champ, i was posing a path. Of course randy is relevant

by ThePunisher on Feb 12, 2010 12:26 AM EST up reply actions  

Love the sig, Negation

But that’s actually an old Dennis Miller bit. As much as I want to take the credit for it, it’s not mine.

your much funnier than Miller

we actually have some funny new Maniacs….BBBB, and brendog have decent one-liners every so often

I always liked Dennis Miller’s stand-up. I get a nice feeling of smugness and intellectual superiority when I get his jokes.

That’s ok. As far as I know, the words came right out of your mouth. And Mac’s right, you are funnier than that guy, LOL

Couture wasnt impressive at all

Coleman didnt do SHIT.

Fucking punching bag.

by Lester The Pimp on Feb 11, 2010 9:52 AM EST reply actions  

Wouldn't mind..

seeing Couture vs. Franklin. A fight Franklin may actually finish—or get finished even.

by L E E on Feb 11, 2010 10:25 AM EST reply actions  

actually finish?

Like Franklin hasnt finished a fight lol good one Lee

by BJPennfan on Feb 11, 2010 11:22 AM EST reply actions  

i like his attitude toward it

unlike guys like chael who all they think about is the belt, not their love for competing and having fun. that dude will say anything to get a shot at the belt. you’ll never see randy on his knees begging which is pretty cool.

by AzCombat on Feb 11, 2010 3:45 PM EST reply actions  

Chael's never had a belt

Randy’s had about 5 of them and fought more title fights than anyone in MMA history. His legacy is secure. Chael knows if he doesn’t win a belt or at least fight for one, nobody will remember his name.

I wonder if Filho ever mailed him the WEC belt like Soares said he would
