UFC 76
ChadTower:
I don't know anyone that thought Sylvia could beat Couture. That fight may as well have been a WWE title match... everyone knew Couture was going to win and everyone knew it was because Sylvia was a boring ass decision-win fighter.
lordtodd75:
You should read some of the forums just before the sylvia vs. couture fight or talk to some of my friends. I thought couture would win but it seemed like noone else did. Hell even rogan and goldberg were counting him out before the fight. It just didn't look good for randy on paper. a fourty something coming out of retirement to fight a 20 something behemoth, power puncher. You have to remember sylvia wasnt always lazy.
ChadTower:
It's not that Sylvia was lazy, it was that he wasn't fighting to win. He was fighting to not lose and had done so for at least two fights. That's what Couture saw... if you could get inside his striking range without getting knocked out he was there to be taken.
I haven't seen a decent MMA forum yet. I've poked around a few but they tend to be jam packed with semiliterate guys pretending to be fighters themselves. The signal to noise ratio is way too high to be worth it.

yeah there getting more and more like wrestling now.
when it first started their was no weight catagory's and the only rules were no using teeth or eye poking but everything else was a go.
that is why alot of the origanals that were great stopped doing it becuase the rule's they made went against alot of there specialty moves and went against what they were taught when that opertunity is there for the taking.
