Anything can happen it can go either way but you obviously dont know Lesnars skills…the difference with this fight is simply the fact the Randy skills where is normally better than his opponents at is overmatched in this one as Brock is the better wrestler as when your wrestling at 280 and as strong and fast and powerfull against a 225 man i am sorry but the 225 man doesnt really have much of a chance if that so Randy is limited in that area. This is a fact Brock is 6′3 will be 280 come fight time Randy is 6′1 and will be 225 come fight time Brock is much much stronger and powerfull and is no SAPP, Sapp is huge but not nearly as quick or has the background Lesnar has. You see Randy is in for a very hard fought win if he does win as this will be the first time he has ever faced a man like Lesnar…and vice versa this fight should be great but i see Brock winning due to his superior overall skills that overmatch Randys and the only thing Randy has in his favor is as edge wise is experience and subs. So honestly dont be so far fecthed that Randy is going to win hands down as i am not with Lesnar. Fedor fights pretty much nobodies escept for his few fights against top opponents but yes Fedor is really good. You have to understand that brock is just not another SAPP really look into this fight and look at the Skills of each fighter and you will find out that Brock really does overmatch Randy but as stated before never count out a legend and therefore anything can happen but i predict that Lesnar will win and this will be the passing of the torch from former wrestler turned MMA legend to new MMA rookie wrestler who is going to be a legend in MMA….but we will have to wait a few more weeks to fing out, its going to be great.

can we all atleast agree that this fight could possible go either way? saying either fighter doesnt have a chance is ignorant. brock is huge, fast, and super athletic and because of such he should never be counted out. randy is known for crazy upset wins and i wouldnt bet against him either.

I cant believe this many of you think that les has such a big advantage over a skilled and experienced fighter like Randy. If size was everything in this game, then SAP would be the champ….or an equiv. of SAP. There has never been a dominant champ in the history of MMA who held his title due to his strength and size….skill is often more important. Look at the greatest fighter in the world (Fedor) and how he beats down every single MACK truck that comes his way. I hontely think Randy will win, but its MMA and anything is possible. BUT even if Randy doesn’t win…..you can’t give that much advantage to Les….thats just silly.

All is good and i always respect the opinions of others i just may not agree with them. It will be a tough match for both fighters but Lesnar definetly has the edge factor going for him i dont think i need to explain any further on that.

Im just trying to rial ya up a bit . I’m looking forward to this fight and personally don’t think it will be one sided and quite the back and forth battle. Nobody has a crystal ball…..Lesner is Huge and STRONG and will not be an easy fight. Couture has an uncanny ability to pick fights and has called them with amazing accuracy…I think he can see weekness in anybodys game. Weather he has enough in the tank to pull out another win is the question. It will be very hard to deal with the size/strength advantage…no argument from me…..but he is very good at what he does and will never count him out. I’ll give you your opinion and keep mine.

So i guess in other words and to correcty myself YES he does have a lack of knowledge /Applying when it comes to Subs in an MMA style match. We can go on and on back and forth but the fact is that Randy couture is not a sub expert so therefore he has a lack of knowledge in Submissions…he is no BJJ expert like MIR or NOG who have shown the world how capable they are of applying them in MMA matches and not just Guillotine or rear naked chokes cause those are too damn easy.

Grappling style Subs matches are way different from an MMA match there is alot more involved and you cant just go for a submission…you could get lucky though but the approach to each are far different as in the Sub/grappling match your going for pur subs so your mindset isnt focused on the other factors such as punches and knees etc coming at me and defending them its purelty just wrestling with submissions. MMA fight if you had that mentality you would lose and my point being he may have stood with the best in a Grappling /subs match but he has miminal sub skills in a MMA match to lock them on. He is no MIR or NOG that pose a huge threat to Submissions that is my point so if you dont have the skill set of MIR or NOG or any BJJ expert by way of Subs than yes you have minimal Sub skills thats just a fact as you really cant say he has Sub skills thats too plain as you have to describe them are they top notch, lower class or mediocre/minimal or are they BJJ expert skills. So for Randy i put him in the Sub class of minimal skills i didnt say he had a lack of knowledge in Submission i clearly stated he has Minimal skills which states if you read it…he has some submission skills but not nearly the caliber of an expert.

I love how you say randy has limited submission skills. He has fought in purly submision grappling matches against some of the best and gone to a draw. I think you underestimate his knowledge in bjj just because he is more known for gnp style fighting

But yes your right at this point in his career any other top fighter would have the advantage.

I see your perspective on things and i respect your opinion but even at this time in Lesnar’s career i believe any HWGHT is going to have a hard time beating him no matter who they are…you have to give the respect to Lesnars ability and skills he has but what is scarry is he has not reached his full potential and needs to develope his overall skills alot more and it is going to be fun to watch him grow as a fighter in the coming years. I am not saying at this time he will beat all top fighters i am merly saying he is a threat to all even at this stage in his career and that is scarry.
