Couture vs. Lesnar
CCM:
I definitely have new respect for Lesnar. The scary part is that he is just going to keep getting better. In a few years nobody will be able to beat him.

Guess nobody can argue that Lesnar doesn't belong now... Couture couldn't do a damn thing with him. All he could do was control Lesnar while Lesnar was busy thinking. As soon as Lesnar wanted out he was out. Pretty much the only thing Couture did the whole fight was one pretty looking takedown that was more a product of Lesnar being tentative than it was of Couture driving through him.

I think Couture was doing fine until he got caught . He bloodied Lesnar, was able to get up a few times when Lesnar had him down, and I think Randy was the fresher of the two. Not nearly as one sided as you make it out to be.

It was a bad stoppage, plain and simple.

That's complete crap. The first punch that knocked Randy down rocked him badly, then he got hit with a huge hammer fist clean to the face. Couture was doing nothing to improve his position or stop the punches/elbows from Lesnar. It was a good stoppage. After the ref stopped it Randy actually fell down again when trying to get up. Randy was hurt, plain and simple. I'm a huge Randy Couture fan and wanted him to win, but you can't dispute that stoppage.

Can't see it from here but I would swear he was kneeling on the right arm. He did it to him up against the cage earlier in the round, too, but it was the left arm. That is one of Matt Hughes' favorite tactics.

Nope, never controlled Randy's right arm....
--- Quote from: ChadTower on November 17, 2008, 02:10:57 pm ---At one point Couture's legs were complete jello after a clean shot to the head.

Yea, that wasn't much of anything, Randy got wobbly, took Brock to the fence and recovered quickly...

Are you kidding me? You know who else went the distance with Herring and couldn't finish him last year? Antônio Rogério Nogueira, current UFC interim Heavyweight Champion.

I always get them confused too, but Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is the current interim UFC heavyweight champ, not Rogerio.
Ginsu Victim:
I finally watched this fight last night. Even with Randy trying to defend, he was still taking a lot of unanswered blows, his head started bouncing off the mat, then the ref did his job exactly as he should. Randy was hurt and Brock was all over him.
Not how I wanted it to end, and I think Brock is a cocky ---tallywhacker---, but I can't disagree with the stoppage and I have a little more respect for the guy in-ring.
