I agree, I think Chuck will get a shot at Griffin before Rashad if he wants it.
In a sad note, Evan Tanner has died.

Chuck is a major draw but physically the UFC has passed him by. He no longer has the skills to fight the top level guys.
Randy v. Brock. Randy will beat him. |

Tanner...Sad. He like a lot of the early UFC guys has not been able to compete with the newer age fighters...He was once a champion and then broken by Franklin...Franklin was broken by Silva...Who will break Silva?
RIP Tanner |

MFS...I think you underestimate brock...
Randy is a wrestler...brock is a much better wrestler, hes bigger and stronger...and randy saw that he can throw a punch...
It's not gonna be a blood bath for randy...I'm tellin ya. |

D mcc... Lesnar is going to get schooled!!
I am not underestimating Brock. I know what a fucking horse he is, and his wrestling could hardly be better. BUT, wrestling is also a strong suit of Randy, but he can work in SUPERIOR jujitsu that Brock will have no answer for. You are talking about Randy FUCKING Couture, here. He will end his career on a high note. Nothing against Lesnar, he's fighting the best heavyweight ever. I hope he learns from the fight, goes back to training, and then dominates heavyweight for the next few years.
Randy's kryptonite? Well, he's like, what, 45 now????? Jesus Christ.
BTW, there is a good UFC fight night tomorrow.
Nate Diaz vs. Josh Neer, Clay Guida vs. Mac Danzig, Houston Alexander vs. Eric Schafer.
I hope Guida's fucking caveman head gets beat into an even more retarded state that it is currently.

I'm telling ya, they both have wrestling backgrounds.
Brock is potentially the greatest college wrestler ever. It doesn't hurt his chances that he's a HUGE 250 lbs.
Brock is NOT fighting the best heavyweight ever...you know who is, so don't make any impressions that Randy is. I love Randy, but dominating Tim Sylvia isn't saying much, not to mention the fact that hes 45...and hasn't faught in a loooong time.
I'm not saying Brock is going to dominate, but I think if Randy goes into the octagon thinking he will...he's gonna get tagged hard... |

Brock is clueless when he gets onto the ground. Wrestling in the UFC is only good if its paired with some sort of offensive discipline... Randy needs to make the fight last in order to wear down Brock. Although, Randy being 45 years old is going to be a factor on some level.
Randy in a submission and/or decision. |

Brock is clueless when on the ground???
Thats what wrestling is, Randy is a wrestler...so is brock...Brock has a size and stregnth advantage, which makes various submissions and holds more difficuly...
You can rule out guillotines, rnc's, kimuras...most triangles...
Small locks and awkward submissions, knee bars, and toe holds will bring him down...
he can take a hit too...
I like randy as much as the next guy, but denying the fact that brock is a capable fighter is just plain dumb. Look how he handled Herring, who has over 30 fights in the UFC/Pride...fighting some of the best in the world... |

If randy can make the fight last, he greatly improves his chances to submit brock. brock will get tired and lazy at some point!
It should be a great fight to watch! |

no doubt!
Who do you like this weekend:
Leben or Bisping?
Vera or Jardine?
I think Bisping and Vera will win. |

Leben-Bisbing should be a good matchup. Bisbing is a well rounded fighter, and so is Leben. However, I think Leben is a harder striker. Bisbing has home field advantage, so I'll pick him.
I think most top fighters have figured out how to beat Jardine. Vera wins. |

You just heard that?
I've known about The Hammer vs. Shogun for awhile
Rua is good, but he has no stamina after coming of the roids. I would like to see Dan destroy Rich |

I guess I havent been paying attention. I just got the email from UFC.com "announcing" it.
I'm just excited about seeing Coleman again. He still appears to be a great shape. He was such a beast for so long. Another 205 fighter added to the mix. What a sick weight class. |

That fight sucked. The Vera/Jardine fight sucked, too. Best fight of the night was Chris Lytle. |

I Expected much more out of vera he seems to have lost much of his luster.
and the only thing I liked about Elite XC was Gina Carano I've been watching her the last couple of years she rocks |

Brock proved to be too massive for Randy. Randy could not move him. I think Brock is going to be around for a while. Silva and Arlovsky will get crushed by Brock if they were to fight him next. Who is next for this beast? |

I would like to see Fedor vs lesnar but Dana White won't let that happen. Fedor won't sign a multifight contract with the ufc and Dani White isn't going to let Fedor come in for one fight and take the title and leave |

GSP put the beat down on Penn. I like Penn but GSP is way to strong and athletic. |
