LOL yes i know Randy’s background and i like to watch him fight but he is overmatched and like bussiness man says the bigger man usually wins when the skills are the same or better. I agree i am done and peace to you as well…it was entertaining.

Can’t we all just get along??? Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I think that Lesnar is a freak with God-given physical strength. While Randy gets all of my respect and I am going to root for Randy, this is not a good match for Randy. The problem for Randy is that they share the same strengths. I think Lesnar is going to get a boring 5 round win. He is going to take him down and pound him. Because of their size difference, Randy is not going to be able to stop him. I have always been taught that “when there is equal talent/skill, the bigger opponent wins”…now I am not saying that they are equally tallented in terms of MMA, but they probably are equal in terms of wrestling. If Randy was better at submissions, he could catch him…which is why Nog will beat Lesnar. The only way I see Randy winning is via submission. Randy is known for putting together great gameplans… so maybe he is studying submissions 24/7. If he does, he may win, other than that, althought Randy is a better MMA fighter, Lesnar wins because of his physical strength and size.

You got me..HAHAH ya thats all Lesnar has better to do then to type thiw crap. Anyhow Yes i do know Randy’s background but why dont you copy it with the truth per Wikepedia—Randy was a three-time Olympic team alternate (1988, 1992 and 1996); a semifinalist at the 2000 Olympic Trials; a three-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division-I All-American and a two-time NCAA Division-I runner-up at Oklahoma State University.[2] In 1992 he was the Division-1 runner up at 190 pounds coming in second after Mark Kerr…HMMM no where did it say Randy WON A MEDAL he was only an alternate..did you know that LEsnar was training for the 2000 olympics as an actual memmber of team USA but decided to go into pro wrestling and make millions. Also IT clearly said Randy was an Alternate and RUNNER UP to not a HWGHT a 190 pound wieght class…Lesnar wrestled at HWGHT see his accomplishments per Wikepedia–Lesnar Amateur wrestling
North Dakota State University’s annual Bison tournament
1997 winner: Heavyweight
1998 winner: Heavyweight
1999 winner: Heavyweight
Collegiate
1998 Junior College National Champion
2-Time Big Ten Title (1999-2000)
1999 NCAA Division I runner-up
Ranked the #1 Heavyweight in the Big Ten (2000)
2000 NCAA Division I Champion
2-Time NJCAA All-American with a record of 106-5 overall in four years of college…That is a hell of alot more impressive than Randy’s wrestling background my friend but not taking it away from him is was a great wrestler as well just that Lesnar is much better by far wether you agree with me or not its a fact so it will be interesting fight but i see Lesnar coming out with the Win based upon his abilities and the fact that Randy is coming in at 225 and lesnar will be about 270-80 come fight time and when you have a man who has a great wrestling base and is strong and fast i dont see Randy being able to be technical with him..but that is just my opinion. we will have to wait and see Nov 15…

I don’t really want to join this ridiculous typing war, but here it is:
TIM- stop saying you were in the marines. I couldn’t say you are or aren’t, and I take your word for it, but no one can see proof, so no one will believe.

PEOPLE PLEASE, STOP TALKING ABOUT FEDOR, RANDY, NOG, MIR, ETC. WE ALL KNOW KIT KOPE IS THE BEST MMA FIGHTER IN THE WORLD AND HISTORY.
(LOL)

As I stand, My friend fights for Extreme Couture and has rolled with Couture, so I am a huge fan of his. BUT, I still think Lesnar can take it by getting Randy to the ground and holding him down. I think technically Randy could win, but I think Lesnar will be able to subdue and pound on Randy, not giving Randy the ability to get very technical. I really hope I am wrong though, because I would much rather see Randy with his hand in the air at the end.

TIM you also say Lesnars wrestling skills surpass Randy’s BY FAR…Did you know Randy was a three-time Olympian (1988, 1992 and 1996); a semifinalist at the 2000 Olympic Trials; a three-time (NCAA) Division-I All-American and a two-time NCAA Division-I runner-up at Oklahoma State University. In 1992 he was the Division-1 runner-up coming in second after Mark Kerr.

I’d say thats pretty comparable.

i would agree with you that lesnar probally belongs in the top ten but does anyone have him ranked yet?and isn’t his record 2-1? losing to mir who is not ranked and beating a tough but unranked herring doesn’t real put you up there but i am sure he could beat some top ten guys he just has to do it first.
