is just too big. I think Lesnar’s definitely beatable, but Couture’s a small heavy, and I don’t see anyone that size (excepting, of course, a certain Russian) being able to handle Honkey Kong’s asshole older brother ground game.

I’d like to see Lesnar’s chin tested by a big man with heavy hands, and though I’ve got serious doubts about Carwin (cardio, speed, quality of previous opposition), he at least fits that bill (and will roll through Cain IMO).

I would rather see Couture Vs Machida than watch Randy get hammer fisted through the canvas again.

Keep firing Assholes!

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

Really...

I’m truly and sarcastically surprised at this unforeseen turn of events. Never would have guessed they would give their #1 marketable fighter a guy he just KOed instead of the undefeated guy that might actually have a chance to win.

Yeah… oh wait, they tried their asses off to make his next fight FEDOR. This, of course, coming off of a rematch with the only guy to ever beat him. You’re right – totally protecting him.

I think you should be known as brainbuster 'cause I don't think you really are....

….well..you know…THINKING!

If you were(and also bothered to do some research), you would’ve noticed how Dana did everything he could to bring Fedor in but it didn’t happen.

I feel your pain,subo. Sometimes I wonder if certain posters actually bother to read the articles here or just come by, say “he sucks, they suck”, then leave….
