I think it is going to be one hell of a fight but I think Couture is going to come out on top.

It always seem she wins when he's the underdog. So I'll take Randy by UD.

Gonznaga's going to try to two end the fight early but find that Couture will find a way out and if Couture gets in the fourth round and up he will win SD

if gonzaga gets top position, (which i think he will) i think his jiu jitsu is just too good, i think he is going to ground and pound randy for a couple rounds and finish him off in the third. this is a bad matchup for randy.

it seems that gonzaga is a lil bit better at eveything randy does,
GG has the better striking, he is not better than randy at wresteling but h is alot heavier at that plays a big part, and he is very good a subs......but its just so hard to pick against randy, what i think it will happen is that GG is gonna try to finish randy early and he is gonna get tired, and thats when randy outworks him to win the fight by UD, GG will win the first two rounds but randy is gonna win the rest of the rounds.....

She wins??? Did you have a few too many beers last night hippysmacker?  j/k Anyways I'm picking Gonzaga to win. I didn't doubt him against Tim, yet I think he is going to lose by a KO in the 2nd or 3rd round. Gonzaga will use his size and weight advantage(which Tim should have done and failed to do because he is a slow oaf) and he will ground and pound his way for the 'W'. However, I will not be surprised if Randy pulls off a victory by UD.

 I know, he is the man. I hope he doesn't see that I'm picking Gonzaga to win.

It's such a tough fight to call, but GG seems like he is such a beast. He has the ability to win wherever the fight goes. It will come down to if he has a smart gameplan, because you no Randy will. I'm taking Gonzaga in this one....I'm still unsure how it will end but I think Gonzaga is going to win. I hope I don't regret this one.

i see it as being couture josh barnett 2. i mean, josh barnett was granted on steroids at the time of the fight, but he was weighing in at about 240, and a much chubbier 240 than gonzagas 240. i think gonzaga will manage to ground and pound him for the victory. on top of that randy has been working on his movie, and has a ufc all access being filmed of him. so i just think gonzaga training full time, and preparing himself has too much of an advantage.

Couture. Too powerful in the top position. He'll have to forget that GG is great on the ground, and just go back to his bread and butter. Takedown from the clinch, then gnp wherever he lands.

GG has the better striking,
except GG's striking is not good....watch him fight mirko again....it was the SAME COMBO over and OVER and OVER....he was trying to throw punches from a mile away and actually thinking they would land. he is powerful but good he is not.
