Couture vs. Lesnar
ChadTower:
Kimbo will win even if it has to be questionable again. They had to actually save him in the last fight - that stoppage was terrible. Kimbo spent the whole fight getting rolled around by a nobody and was going to lose the decision until the ref called that weak TKO. Shamrock is either going in to job or he's going to rip Kimbo's foot off at the ankle.
Ginsu Victim:
I've never even seen Kimbo fight. I get so tired of hearing these people online go on about him like he's the best thing ever, but when true MMA fans who know what they're talking about mention him, it's usually as a joke.
Ken Shamrock has a lot of pride, so I hope money isn't enough for him to swallow it.

I think taking that third Ortiz fight pretty much proved Shamrock is just making a living off of his rep now. He has lost his last 5 fights, 6 of his last 7, and his one win since 2004 was over Kimo. Slice is the bottom of the barrell for Shamrock - one last big check before he hits the end of his in ring career.
Ginsu Victim:
Yeah, I guess he is just after a paycheck these days. Oh well, he had a good run. The sport has evolved, and a lot of guys from that era just couldn't keep up.
I've never liked Matt Hughes (especially after his TUF run), and seeing him beat Royce Gracie (not easily, though) still hurts to this day, so imagine how it felt seeing Ken continue to lose to Tito over and over.

That's funny, because I could never stand Royce Gracie. :P He tried to break the arm of almost every person he fought, and he used his gui as a choke weapon. I was soooo enjoying his final against Dan Severn up until that surprise ending. He did earn a bit of respect for that one, but I still enjoyed seeing him get worked over.
He was the mold that MMA has evolved from though.
