    That billboard really emphasizes one thing: Randy Couture has beady little eyes.

    "Remember when we thought that there was no fighter, outside of Fedor, who could challenge Randy Couture"?
    Umm, NO? When was this??? I remember Barnett beating Couture soundly, I remember Ricco doing the same, I remember Couture getting subbed 3 times by fighters with a combined record of 64-41, I remember Couture losing in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, then retiring and coming back in 07 to win a fight agaisnt Sylvia and a fight agaisnt Gonzaga, then ducking Nog, then being sidelined for another year. And of course I rememeber Couture's 16-8 MMA record.
    So somewhere in there you're telling me that people thought that no one outside of Fedor could touch Randy Couture?
    I'm not trying to pick on you but this article is inaccurate on so many levels.

    Maia comfortable on his feet??? I got 14 year olds at the gym that would box that dudes ears off.. Couture is a legend I guess, but Lesnar is going to out wrassle that old fart.. I hope they keep it on their feet. It would kind of be fun to watch in a toughman kind of crude way... Two plodders wailing it out for the UFC HW Championship...

    The only way Randy would lose is if he slips on a banana peel or on Brock's spilled sweat.
