On name value alone, it's a fluke, it's an upset, it's every words that can go along with that. That being said, I think he can do it, hence why I'm picking him knowing most everyone is going to say I'm crazy, and knowing i'm picking him over like... my hero.
|
Nothing against Gonzaga, but I don't think he can take Couture, specially after how good Randy looked in that clinic he put on against Silvia..
|
Silva isn't the same type of fighter that Randy is. I don't think Randy has fought someone so well rounded in a while. Hence why I think it's a problem match up and for my hero's sake, I wish Mirko had kicked Gabe's head off.
|
I though Cro Cop was gonna be the heavyweights saving grace.. Thank God for Couture..
Fedor needs to come on over.. |
I knew he wasn't going to do well. I had a feeling the cage would fuck him, then they paired him against Gabe who I said would win. Again, had no idea he'd actually kick his head off, but I did expect a ground and pound victory.
That being said I was terribly excited about him coming. And yes, Fedor would be awesome. |
Fedor vs Coture would be godly.

I'm picking Randy to beat Gonzaga purely because I can't go against him in underdog fights now after what he has done. However, this is a heart pick. Head says Gonzaga will win and should be considered a good favourite. |
He's only had like ten fights.. Randy will beat him with experience alone..
|
I'll be pissed if GSP looses to fuckin Kos...I think Gonzaga has a hell of a chance to beat Randy..but I see Couture prevailing.
Cap GSP Stevenson Kendall |
I see Randy putting on a wrestling Clinic, and keeping Gonzaga on his back and submissionless for 3 rounds before Gonzaga gasses and Randy pounds him out, or chokes him. Not to take anything away from Gonzaga, but I dont think either guy will look to stand up. Both want to go to the ground, where I think Randy's wrestling is far superior to Gabe's BJJ.
Gabe will probably set up another head kick that I think will lead to the first take down. Rest of the fight card looks promising so far though. Kendall by submission in round 2 or 3. Stevenson by decision. Kos and GSP is a toss up for me, although I do understand why everyone would label him to win. If Kos puts George on his back, it wont be good for him. If GSP keeps it on the feet, it could go the other way. I think this will actually be fight of the night, with constant action. Probably going the distance and ending in a decision. |

Coture/Gonzaga is one of the hardest matches to predict all year due to Gonzaga's upset over Cro Cop and Coture's age. Sure he handled Silva with ease but to me Silva wasn't anything to brag about necessarily, just fat guy with a good team. Gonzaga has a lot of momentum going in and I would think that Coture is the underdog because of his age. I am a Coture mark and he is my favorite fighter and is in the top of the Heavyweight division but upsets happen like foul balls in UFC.

well yea but he still KOed Arlovski in the second fight. He really changed it up once he got the title. He needs to get back to the shape he was in when he first came to the ufc

Brock train doubled the guy, then beat him into submission. Double legs are big in wrestling. The guy tapped in like 30 seconds. I cant believe your using this as an example. Wrestling skill has nothing to do with submissions/jujitsu. Wrestling is all possitioning and technique. I.E Sean Sherk (perfect example of wrestling skill in MMA) |
In case you have learned to read more than one line of text at a time Im going to repost this:
Everyone says tito has amazing wrestling skills. But everyone is basing that off all his opponents he had before his first fight with randy cotour. He had the basics and it made him look amazing against guys that had almost no experience other than jujitsu or judo. Of course hes going to look like a wrestling god. What happened when he went up against someone who actually did have amazing wrestling skill??? *cough* Randy *cough*.... HE GOT HIS ASS BEAT. If evans was as big/strong as tito, tito would have gotten smoked again. Tito is a good brawler but hes a jack of some trades and master of none. He has OK striking, decent wrestling, almost no submissions to speak of, supposedly he has this awsome conditioning. He better start to focus on what he needs to do to get himself better or hes going to turn into a shamrock real fast. |
Since someone said something about the Cage Grabbing penalty, what about Tito's Ball Punch in Round two? Which was some time after the Cage Grab, and went uncalled.
|
Chuck Liddell vs. Keith Jardine confirmed for UFC 76.
Should be an entertaining fight at least. |
Liddell is going to KO him in the first..
|
WTF at a dumb money move by UFC, I feel like I should have to pay to see Rampage/Henderson. Liddell/Jardine, not so much. UFC is genius though this is going to bring in such great fucking ratings.

2 - Was it after the cage grab? I seem to remember him being taken down and then putting Rashad in the choke to end the round. |

Final thought on this.
If the second round went five second longer, the ref was stopping the fight due to the choke. Difference between this round and the third where Ortiz let the clock run down whilst on his back. If the situation was reversed, I'd be defending Evans. Guillotines might be basic chokes but that doesn't stop the fact Evans was passing out. Tito has only lost to 2 world class fighters in 8 years. I'm still saying he isn't a top 5 205lbs fighter right now but he is FAR from past it. I don't know where you were going with Couture. All I'm saying is a Olympic level wrestler owned him. Ortiz's wrestling is fine until facing top level wrestlers and there aren't many of them in his division in the UFC. Aside from Liddell and Shogun, I'd make Ortiz a favourite against fighter in his division in the world. Yes even Silva in a cage with UFC rules. Frank Shamrock barely fought in 8 years. |
Shogun vs Griffin now. That should probably be the main event.
