Thought I'd get an early start this time around. Another great card: Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson Heavyweight bout: Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Nate Quarry Welterweight bout: Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory I love the Maia-Quarry match-up. The healthy and improved Quarry gets the red hot Maia. If Maia makes quick work of Quarry, bring on Silva in my opinion. Couture TKO 2 Stevenson via submission (RNC) 1 Gonzaga TKO 1 (Dont know much about Hendricks) Maia via submission (armbar) 1 McCrory UD I
REED is HOPING Lesnar Convincingly BEATS Couture, Cause it's BETTER for the Sport of MMA...& REED Think he Will... Couture's a SMALL Heavyweight & Lesnar is Sooooooooooooooooo Fucking STRONG...EXTREME Strength can BEAT Experience &/or Technique... REED'll Take Ken Flo Over Joe Daddy...Sure, it was BJ, but Joe Daddy Took a HEINOUS Ass Whipping N that Bout...He Lost about 10 GALLONS of Blood that Night...Has he Fought Since???.... REED'll Take Gonzaga & Quarry N the Other Bouts, Having NO Knowledge of their Opponents...& REED HASN'T Heard of Either Guy N the Welterweight Matchup...
I cannot wait to see how Randy deals with the size of Lesnar - I just hope he's not shot after being out so long. Great under card aswell - Florian V Steveson should a great fight aswell.
I am going with Brock via G&P simply because I think that Randy will really look his age for the first time ever. His age, the long layoff, and the genetic freak that Brock is will make it tough for Randy to overcome. I have to go with KenFlo over Jo Daddy. Ken is just looking sooo damn good these days. Dont know Gonzaga's oppoonent so I will have to go with him. I have to go with Quarry due to experience.
Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson Heavyweight bout: Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Nate Quarry Welterweight bout: Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory Lesnar by GNP Round 3. But I wouldn't put any money on it. I just think Randy's age, inactivity, and penchant for problems with big fighters will all catch up with him. Florian by UD in a surprisingly boring fight. I could give 2 shits about Gonzaga, so I'm picking Hendricks by KO....hopefully in the first 20 seconds. Maia by Submission Rd1. Maia is a beast with a big future at 185. McCrory KO 3 in the fight of the night. TFK
If you're picking Joe Daddy by sub it should be by guillotine. That's his break and butter sub. Lesnar by GNP stoppage in 2 Florian by RNC in the second. w/ Joe Daddy bleeding again from a Florian elbow. Maia by submission in the first. Gonzaga by TKO in 1
Lesnar winning might mean more fans for mma, but it won't be good for the sport. If some 1-1 novice can beat a top heavy, it looks bad, real bad. As it is, I think Lesnar is getting way too much credit for way too little. Couture will box the hell out of him, stop his takedowns, and negate any and everything if Lesnar gets him down. Couture by domination. Like it should be.
Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar- Couture by 3rd rnd tko Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson- Florian by cut TKO2 Heavyweight bout: Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks-Gonzaga by UD Middleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Nate Quarry- Maia by SUB2 Welterweight bout: Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory- Hazelett by TKO1
I was thinking along those lines. But man am I re-thinking things. Lesnar dropped Mir with a punch. He dropped Herring with a punch. The guy might actually be a naturally big puncher with size on his side. Brock has so many other advantages in this fight that if Couture isn't the far superior striker it could be a painful night for the old guy.
