ufc91 Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar

Man I am so nervous for the fight tonight. David and I talked with Randy Couture on Thursday at his gym in Las Vegas and he seemed super composed (as always). Randy said they had a great plan and he is going to win. I would not expect him to say anything less ;). I have met Randy Couture probably 8 different times now and there has never been any fighter that was nicer and more accomidating. This fight is the biggest in UFC history and I suspect for those who miss it there will be a lot of video of the fight around the net. Its tough for me to break down this fight. Obviously I want Randy to win. I will give it a shot and try to be objective. I really only see 2 probable outcomes for this fight. Randy winning by decision or Brock winning by knockout. Even though Randy trains with the worlds best jitz guys ( Robert Drysdale ) , I don’t think its very likely he will be able to catch Brock in a submission, although I look for him to try more for subs then to work to standing if it goes to the ground. Wrestlers are always the hardest guys to knock out because when they get rocked their natural instinct is to clinch up and recover. This is why I don’t think its going to be likely either guy will get knocked out but Brock Lesnar has knockout power. There are some other fights on the UFC91 card tonight: Ryan Thomas vs. Matt Brown I really like Matt Brown but newcover Ryan Thomas has almost Josh Koscheck like take down ability and even though Matt has MUCH better standup I look for Ryan to become the human blanket and win this fight on the ground..- Thomas by decision. Alvin Robinson vs. Mark Bocek This should be a awesome fight and I look forward to seeing this after the fact. If Kid Robinson can stay away from Bocek’s jitz he will be good to go..- Robinson by TKO. Jorge Gurgel vs. Aaron Riley How the hell does Gurgel keep making UFC cards? SERIOUSLY!!!! I dont think I have ever seen him win a fight. The UFC just keeps giving him cans to fight and he keeps losing to them.- Riley by Decision Jeremy Stephens vs. Rafael dos Anjos I look to Rafael to shoot a lot and Stephens countering with strong punches. - Stephens by KO Televised Card Dustin Hazelett vs. Tamdan McCrory Hazelett is a badass with amazing jitz. - Hazelett by Submission Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Josh Hendricks The wildcard here is Hendricks. If he has the cardio and can keep away from Gonzaga’s devistating kicks/jitz he has a chance .- Gonzaga by TKO Demian Maia vs. Nathan Quarry This is a tough fight to call. I think Rock Quarry’s hands will overcome Maia’s jitz - Quarry by Decision Kenny Florian vs. Joe Stevenson Joe Daddy just recently was awarded his blackbelt but no matter. Florian will donminate the striking and jitz game from start to finish. The biggest weapon Joe Daddy has is his guillotine which is deadly… - Florian by TKO
