Coleman vs Couture discussion.

First, how many will be buying the PPV? I suspect not many will come foward and say as much short of birdofthad. I will but that is because I really enjoy MMA to expensive extremes.

If the winner of this fight wins in dramatic and impressive fashion, do you really expect the UFC to offer a title bid? Should Randy put him away fast and the Dragon wins, it is more than likely they'll match the two up because that is a fight the UFC has been wanting to do since Machida won the title. If Coleman and Shogun both win, a rubber match could easily be the next fight we see. Not ideal fights, but not the worst the UFC could do(actually ya it is)

Would anyone care to see the loser of this fight fight again? Should they retire? I suspect Coleman gets his ass handed to him in the clinch and in the boxing game, and if that happens, would you care to ever see him fight again? What if the Natural is upset and loses? Should he retire? I'd still like to see Coleman take on either Ortiz or Liddell after this fight. Not sure Randy has anything left to prove. I'll miss the Natural but I am ready for him to walk off into the sunset.



Predictions for the fight? Will Coleman be able to get or keep Randy down? I think Randy is much more well rounded, and has a style of wrestling that bodes well for how this fight will go down. I don't think Coleman can keep him down if Lesnar couldn't. This is the only place Coleman can hope to win this fight. Coleman won't be able to slow down Couture's clinch attack like the MT/Greco specialist Vera was able to.

Randy TKO round 3.

1) I will probably be watching a stream as the group of guys I usually order up the PPVs with aren't coming home for this one (college) and I'm not eating that full charge for this one

2) If Coleman gets clowned which is likely, I think its time to call it a career. Same goes for Randy. If he can't notch a win over Coleman at this stage he is no threat to anyone in the top 10

3) Randy uses the clinch to do some work as Coleman unsuccesfully attempts to double leg him and as the minutes go on, Randy uses his boxing on a gassed Coleman for a finish. Randy via stoppage Round 3

I will not buy the PPV but I never do. Do I think they give Randy a title shot if he wins? I say no but I wouldn't be surprised if they do give him one last shot (hows that for a cop out). Randy has mass apeal in the general public. Machida and Shogun are great fighters but I don't think they are as popular. Dana may very well stick in Randy instead of guys probably more deserving ie Medium sized Nog and others. I think Randy beats his ass for the same reason Wolfy said. TKO early Rd 2. As far as matchups, I wouldn't mind seeing Randy vs Rampage simply because I like both fighters and it makes sense for selling PPVs. Prolly won't happen but there you go. Outside of that matchup I wish both Hammer and Randy would hang it up. Are they still competitive? Sure I guess, if you call a lay n prey win over Bonnar and hugging Vera to death for three rounds good fights. JMO

I will be watching

I think coleman is going to put up more of a fight than most expect

I doubt either will get a title shot if anything they will make the winner of machida and rua wait it out a little longer to get the lhw division in order. If randy wins this one and then beats someone in the top ten then maybe.

1 - I will not be able to buy it. I'll be at my engagement party Saturday night. Maybe my soon to be mother in law will hook me up afterwards.

2 - I think the winner of this fight is still behind Shad/Rampage winner, Lil Nog/Griffin winner, and Anderson if he decides he wants to move up after Belfort.

3 - I think this fight is pretty competitive. Coleman in my mind is more of a freak than Couture because he never put the time in taking care of himself. He's got better wrestle and will get it to the ground at some point. BUT Randy will wins this without a doubt in my mind. I don't care if Coleman stays or retires, same goes with Randy if I'm wrong. I DON'T want to see either headlining any more, especially the loser.

I will say I won't buy the fight but Saturday night my opinion might change. (as usual) If I stick to my word I will go to hooters or buffalo wild wings to watch the fights.

I think Randy will win the fight but it might go to a decision. If Coleman is out of shape, which is very possible, Randy will probably finish him. I have a feeling Coleman is going to be in fair shape and Randy will grind out a victory. I wouldn't mind if both guys retired after this fight.

If the UFC grants the winner a title shot I think I'm going to be sick. 205 is full of contendors, neither of these fights is a one.

I will be at BWW to watch and make bets. So in a way I will be paying for the PPV.

It can be argued, that a gassed out Mark Coleman, still held his own for most of the fight against Shogun last year and kept taking him down, even though he couldn't really follow it up. Therefore it is possible to see either one fight the champ after their rematch. I don't see either one of these grizzled vets winning, but it would be interesting.

Let us also not forget that Coleman did not gas against Bonnar in a bout that went all the way, because he decided to get his cardio in line and if he has maintained his core training might win this fight. Though to be honest, I see Couture winning via Jedi mindtrick.

1- Yes I will buy this card, but then again I buy every card. I work full time to give me this luxury.

2- No I don't expect the winner to get a title shot no matter how the win comes. I can see the winner getting a top guy with the winner of that fight getting a shot.

3- I don't want to see the loser fight anymore. If Coleman loses a tough fight then maybe, but I would still prefer he retire. I love Randy but if he can't get by Mark then I think it is time to hang them up.

4- I think Randy dominates and wins via TKO early in round 2. Randy will wear Coleman down in round 1, push him against the cage and use the dirty boxing. Coleman will be gassed, taken down and beat on until the fight is stopped.

Congrats Farmer! On behalf of us married guys let me just say... RUN! you still got time to call it off! LOL just kidding

I'll get the ppv. I think Dana is bsing about them "sniffing" at the title to hype the main event. And I def think the loser should retire. And Randy should win this fight but for some reason I'm routing for Coleman.

Thanks

I hope you got one of those submissive chicks Farmer. You know the kind you can snag in central Mexico, eastern Asia. Just don't get a Scandinavian, look what Tiger Woods wife did to him for being a smidge unfaithful?!

I think I'd blow my load if Elin beat on me like that.

She a Cajun born, Texas raised, and has parents from the North East.

lol Tiger Woods is a douche bag. I lost all respect for him after these events when I found out he was putting engagements rings on these random skanks so they wouldn't sleep with anyone else. What a loser

Congrats though Farmer

I will be at Hooters watching this one with some friends

I am actually expecting a good fight, cause this is the first time in a while (ok since Brock) that there is someone facing Randy tha can nullify his clinching and wrestling.

I definently want to see both of these men fight again reguardless
I dont think either is worthy of a title shot, but if Randy wins he will surely face Machida/Rua winner. I dont think Coleman will get that same treatment

I am actually expecting Couture to be on his back in this fight more than usual

loser should be Don Fryes first fight
How would that be?
