Randy Couture vs Brandon Vera UFC 105 - Troydan's Predictions

[HeadhunterRed]

randy is 46 years old, that cut to 205 is going to kill him and whats left of his cardio, hes not gonna be strong enough to take him down and if he does its in the first and he wont be able to hold him down or hold him in the clinch, this is a terrible matchup for randy and he'll lose the decision at the least, he couldnt even trade with nog and got dropped twice, sorry randy die hards but his day is over

[MessiahUK]

The cut to 205 is nothing! Randy walks about at about 220lbs and wrestlers (Randy was an Olympic alternate) spend their entire careers cutting weight so a 15lb weight cut is insignificant.

[HeadhunterRed]

maybe nothing when randy was younger but you act like he isnt getting older, age catches up with everybody dont think hes the exception he made a great run into his 40s but after he beats coleman hes going to lose the rest of his fights, vera beat him hands down, how they gave randy round 3 is beyond me, knocking him down and getting mount is better than manhugging against the fence, thats why japanese scoring is more efficient

[MessiahUK]

Yeah, poor decision but a 15lb weight cut is nothing. He may be 40+ years old but you seem to forget that he's not some bum with a beer gut who's trying to make weight, he's a honed professional athlete. Have you ever cut weight? 15lbs is pretty easy, more than 20 is where it gets tough.

[HeadhunterRed]

i see what you mean about not cutting a lot of weight, but at that age cutting any weight is tough, even randy says so, dont expect randy to finish his career at 205 imo, he'll probably move back up for the las 1-4 fights after coleman

[DnnVasquez]

Here.. let me try... My prediction... Randy wins by either knocout or decision... why> Randy has only been submited once i believe by minoutouro(Best L. heavyweight bjj/mir)and brandon vear has sick stand up muay thai but dosnt really posses knockout power. Mainly punches in bunches. Randy coutoure held his own with that beast brock L. and you think he might loose to someone like vera? i think not!!!!

[MessiahUK]

Actually, Randy' been submitted 3 times (armbar, kimura and guillotine) and none of those were by Nogueira, that fight went the distance.

[PriDeNevErDie789]

randy will lose, badly
