Come on man really.

We already know that Fedor is going to win this fight. He has the better stand up and ground game. Along with an iron chin and intelligent game plan. Plus if Fedor puts Randy on his back the fight is basically Fedor's. Sure Randy has a great power in his hands and great wrestling but, Fedor has a ground game that I would say is on the level of Big Nog's. Im sure Randy has the puncher chance but, besides a well timed punch on Randy's part I really dont see him beating Fedor.

Couture's has some top notch wrestling, his stand up is good, and he has been through wars ... surre his chin is kind of suspect, but then again that was Chuck Liddell and Brock Lesnar ... I see this fight being a war ... I really don't know who the winner would be, but I'm cheering for "The Natural."

Right but does anyone here really think that Couture's stand up is better than Fedor. Sure it has holes in it but, thats because Andre has top notch boxing and speed. Randy doesnt have the speed of Andre and I dont think he would be able to slam Fedor like Randleman did. Lets be real here Fedor has some of the best sambo and judo out there. Fedor can work from bad positions and tap just about anyone out. I dont see Randy doing any better than anyone else who has fought Fedor. This isnt because I dislike Randy its because Fedor is on top of his division right now and no one in the near future can take him out. Though I can see Brock because it always seems that guys with speed have faired much better than people who just try and use brute strenght. Plus Lesnar is proably in the best physical condition in the HW division but, Fedor would still proably tap Lesnar out.

Good points ... Fedor will have the advantage on the ground ... though I might say it is a slight advantage ... as for striking ... I still can't help remember Randy's fight with Sylvia to remind me that his striking is good. So I put a tie in that category ... as for cardio, they both have very good cardio so tie there ... in anyway though this fight will be damn good ... I would be screaming profanities at my television ...

I would think that this fight would go to a split decision either way ... depend on who was in the top position more ...

Really. You seem kind of biased. Think your forgetting Fedor when he destroyed Tim also. Then you also forget the fact that Randy has been hit with hard shots and folded. You could hit Fedor with a truck and the guy would still be dangerous. Plus I dont think Randy throws as hard as Fedor does sure they are both in good shape but, your giving Randy to much. He is great at dirty boxing and has good boxing plus submission defense but, Fedor is no slouch in the clinch and he works very well off his back. I think he works better off his back than Randy does trying gnp him. I actually see a very dominanting preformance from Fedor.

Not that biased. I do remember the thrashing that Fedor gave to Sylvia, but time Sylvia has always had problems with guys that push the pace of a fight and throw their hands. I do agree with you that Fedor is tough (that slam from Randleman, that right hook by Fujita), but he is not invincible. He does has his flaws (prone to injury), we can all honestly agree on that. Same as Couture, he has flaws in his game (like the fact that he is smaller that most guys in the heavyweight division).

But if, God willing, this fight ever happens, I will, like I said before, screaming profanities at my Tv and be jumping up and down ... no doubt it would be a good fight ...

Maybe for Fedor if thats what your saying but, lets be real. Fedor can weather storms. Did you see the damage he took from Andre. Andre is a much better boxer and is faster than Randy. Plus I would even have to give hand power to him too. Fedor has what a good clinch to work with. Randy does not want to be in tight with Fedor. Fedor is a Judo and Sambo champion he knows what he is doing inside the clinch. You know what let's see how Fedor does against Barnett and if Fedor looks dominant and beats Barnett then I will think Randy stands a much better chance than Fedor. Even if Randy is much older and doesnt have the same speed of Barnett.

We will have to see ...

Im actually a fan of Randy myself its just that I have to be real. Fedor is proably the first or second pound 4 pound champion. Randy has great game plans that force the fight to go his way but, I really dont see any aspect of Randy's game that Fedor doesnt have an anwser for.
