Randy Couture on How Vera Fits into his Fighting Equation

[MrWristbreaker]

Vera got robbed. .couture didnt do anythin either in this fight..

[sidcayon]

the whole world knows who won the fight

[raed445]

it must vera won the fight. the judges is not bias. i hate how the results came out.

[tornero2008]

Randy Couture is already a legend!, no question about it. but his win against Brandon Vera? He don't deserve it!!!. He got hurt by Vera's kicks. He got knocked down. no take downs... VERA won the fight!!!

[NightManiacsInc]

dude, vera did really good in the first 10sec or rnd won, & then for 4min & 50sec. he was just pushed up againts the cage & getting punched, so he lost round 1

Round 2, he did better & knocked him down, so i think he won Round 2

Round 3 was pretty much like round won & i think he lost that round

therefore couture wins via split decision

[commentz2626]

Vera kicked couture's ass

[NightManiacsInc]

yea for like 30sec in all the rounds combine, the rest of the time he was just pushed up againts the cage not doing shit

[otakugothicvampire]

hmm i like cotures style of fighting but its kida cheating but still badass i think vera should of won

[MrCrazyAsshole]

I hate fucking nerds. I kill them when ever I see them in a gay bar.

[jerichk2007]

Im a big fan of Randy, but Vera clearly won this match. There's a dilemma on the way judges score nowadays, they focus on the basic skill not on the damage dealt to the opponent. Dana if you're reading this, this is a clear wake up call for you man. I see its all about money, nothing but benjamins. The decision in this fight really sucked big time. Anyways, we know BRANDON will be back. Make us proud Brandon. MABUHAY KA KAPATID!

[smkeryday]

just like shogun clearly beat machida,vera clearly beat couture.if the judges keep this bs up im not gona watch ufc anymore

[krizton]

ei ei ei!! stop all that non-sens that couture win tha match!!

IT IS CLEAR BROTHERS!! VERA WON THE MATCH!!

if u don't agree w/ that S**T

al i can say

FILIPINO PRIDE!!

[alitap]

vera won, randy didn't do shit, he can't even take down vera. all randy did was hold on to vera to the cage. and vera was doing well being defensive on the take down which randy specialize in wrestling. so what do you want vera to do wrestle randy one of the the great wrestler in UFC, no way off cource not. vera did more damage, and in the grappling they were stalemates. randy was not doin anything. VERA CLEARLY WON, the UFC dana white, the crowd, are all over randys NUTS, thats why he won.

[playtoyx]

randy controled him so much of the fight there's no way I could've gave Vera the win

[jthanlon63]

Randy won... u cant give vera the decision because clearly randy took the first round by controlling the whoel fight against the cage. 10-9.

second round vera landed some hard hits but randy controlled most the fight again.. still ill give it to vera 10-9. third round comes around little exchange both connect.. randy gets taken down but gets back up and controls the fight against the cage again... you cant give vera the 3rd round.. yea it was a boring fight but i had couture winning. 29-28...

[bradman83]

I think Vera won. Couture won round one - he had control and a takedown, and Vera landed hardly anything. Round two was Vera - stuffed 5 minutes of takedown attempts, clearly did more damage and dropped Couture. Round three was Vera - stuffed 5 minutes of takedown attempts, did a little bit more damage, got a takedown and gained a dominant position.

[MonsterHunterNoobie]

Judges have favoritism...on Couture. It should be Vera who won the fight. Vera managed to resist the take down of Couture, and Vera landed more punches and kicks than Couture.

[bradman83]

Love Couture but I agree. The decision wasn't a travesty but I just didn't see it being Couture's. It's a fight and Vera simply did more damage in the second and third rounds. The most significant thing that happened in the third round was the takedown and mount by Vera. How Couture failing to do that for the entire round outweighed Vera succeeding at it is beyond me.

[RegularDon]

I'm a huge Randy Couture fan, but that was one of the worst decisions I ever saw. Vera hurt him bad in the second round with a body kick, and mounted him at the end of the third round. Other than that it was an even wrestling match. Style-wise, this was a really bad matchup for Randy, and I really think he lost this fight, even though I was rooting for him the whole fight.

[classifiedblind]

Looks like Randy pulled it off. Vera is still a dangerous striker though. He hurt Randy bad with some body kicks, but Randy's wrestling and octagon control pulled him through.

[wafflefish1]

im pretty confident vera will knock out randy

[81giantkiller]

You do realize that COUTURE has only been KOed once his entire career.

(by the ICEMAN)

[wafflefish1]

i really meant tko. and randys been tkos 5 times.hes 46 and striking is not as good as veras so i dont think its out of the question that vera wins

[81giantkiller]

Yes anythings possible,for either fighter on this one.

I hear ya though, I really meant, out cold, stiff, toes curled.

One would have thought he was KOed with that one shot Nog hit him with,(if you recall) but amazingly he wasn't.

I like both these fighters,I'm just hopeing for a good fight.

[kas120587]

he 47year old....come on....

[81giantkiller]

True, but I don't judge him on his age.I'm judging him on his skills and abilities,and his performances.

Like the NOG fight was a great match.I was also impressed with how he did against LESNAR,you know what i mean,he did better than MIR.

He's had some good matches lately,they just haven't ended favorably for him.

I think he just might suprize alot of people.If not then I'll give up on him too. :)

[88gzrg]

shogun beat the fuck out of lyoto machida.

[goladen]

I think the natural will win by tap

[GRMC09]

I believe Randy Couture pulls out a unanimous decision here.

[JustinOnerr]

couture win 105

tito 106

[humaner]

Wrestlers kick ass ... always will.3000 year old sport.

[ScruffyBueno]

I like both fighters but Randy is the MAN! He'll be fighting till he is 70 lol.

[phantom5691]

go away old man.

[100isthebest]

Randy is the only guy who gave problems to Brock Lesnar. I don't think Randy's age will be a factor. So my predicition Randy by Decision.

[jjobforacowboy]

randy is the only guy who gave problems to brock lesnar? if im not mistaken frank mir tapped out brockk!!!!

[100isthebest]

Yes you are right, but come on he gave that knee bar easily, he was unexperienced at that time but he beat the living hell out of Mir in their second fight.

[cjforster81]

I see Couture walking away with this one. He is overdue for a win, and I don't see Vera stepping up to stop him.

Couture is nothing short of amazing when you consider his age and his ability to compete at the level he is.

The guy has lost a couple, but he isn't losing in dominating fashion. Go Randy, show the doubters that you still have a few years to wow people.

[kennyraymon]

I agree with everything you just said man! Randy is a fucking hero to still be going this hard at his age! I think he's going to win, he will out smart Vera.

[LeapyearCD]

I agree with you. Vera is a good wrestler but nothing compared to Randy. Vera is probably the better striker but so were Belfort, Liddell, Gonzaga, and Sylvia but Couture has the perfect style that will really frustrate a striker. You kick him he'll shoot in and take you down and I would love to see Vera try to put him in the muay thai clinch he'll trip him. Vera just has Couture in the striking dept and if I was Vera I would be worried. Couture wins by 2 round TKO

[kennyraymon]

I'm hoping Randy takes this one, the dude's a fucking hero! There is nobody else in this sport right now that can bost Randy's accomplishments. I think Randy is a more inteligent fighter than Vera. It was not that long ago that Randy smoked G Gonzaga! If he fights vera the same way, the win is his!

[icemanlonewolf]

Yeah I guess when you consider his age and what he's been able to do in 2 weight classes then yeah, but Couture's record is not really that good at all. 16-10. Granted he's fought some tough guys, but he's lost quite a bit.

[kennyraymon]

It's not his record, it's how long he's been fighting, and the opponents he has faced. He was even doing good against a Gorilla like Lesnar, until he got clocked in the back of the head.

[thenewgeneration123]

I think the winner of brandon vs randy should fight shogun for interim lhw title, becouse the paper champ machida is injured

[xSHouTxOuTx]

machida is ducking a rematch with shogun

shogun's next fight will be a rematch. anything else is just a risk of him losing that chance

[shaunyb0i]

Does anybody notice how crooked his nose is?

[TimeWarp66]

Does shaunyb0i not realize how many wars Randy's been in? Dumbass. Let's see how your nose looks after 25+ fights.

[shaunyb0i]

I know how many fight he's been mothafucker. I was just commenting on how fucked up his face.

[81giantkiller]

Yes,courtesy of C.LIDDELL.

[HeartBreak1x]

i really think Brandon is gonna KO randy in the 2nd round with a kick punch combo. Unless Captain get him on the ground and pounds him.

[wii60own]

only 4 more days ill be there cheers on randy ;) good luck man, you deserve to win, you are UFC :D Bisping, Dan Hardy, James Wilks, Ross Pearson Good luck guys

[TimeWarp66]

@wii60own

I second that.

[kkirT]

If Randy wins this fight he'll get a title shot but if he loses this fight he'll get a title shot.

[icemanlonewolf]

Which is BS. Randy is hardly deserving of a title shot at LHW. If he wins I'd like to see him face off against Rashad.

[jamanursula]

heavy weight catagory is too wide...205-230 230 -265 makes more sense

[amagad1989]

nah man you wanna see lighter guys (with more skill, see Couture) beating the shit out of some of the big tards.

[icemanlonewolf]

Yeah, but the big tards are getting skill and they are not just big because they eat a lot anymore. Now there are guys that weigh 280-290 that cut to make 265 but on fight night are back at 280 that's not all fat.

Unfortunately the HW division feeds off of the little guys. Without them it would be nothing. Hopefully the number of TRUE HW continue to grow making room for a new weight class.

[kevinmod881]

wow that actually makes good sense

[LeapyearCD]

I really don't understand some of you people. Your going on and on about him having a 16-10 record but for fucksakes every fight has been against a big name. Couture could of had a 24-2 record if he fought bums but thats not what he's all about. Some of you people are making me think you would like Couture more if he dodged top notch competition fo fight guys that suck just so he can have a great record, because it seems like records mean so much to you guys.

[Canadianwayne]

right on!

[Jericho2k7]

I can't wait.

[mptrax]

go go Randy go go ;-D

RANDYYYYYYYYY !

[BXBZ88]

Ufc and mma in general have to create a new weight category.Either 225lb or 235lb.

Seeing Randy against Lessner,even though Randy took it to him,was just so unbalanced.

[iTravelHD]

but look Fedor vs Rogers, not imposible to beat the big gyu

[BXBZ88]

Yeah,but your example is Fedor......

[iTravelHD]

I can give you more examples with Japan MMA, but I cant remember all their names :) Midowman win over Choi (names may not be correct)

[BXBZ88]

Alright,look at it this way:

155 to 170-15lb gap,170 to 185-15lb gap,185 to 205-20lb gap,205 to 265-60lb gap.60lbs is a bit of a difference.

[iTravelHD]

you forget 2 things:

first is the %

how much is 15 from 170 in % and how much is 60 from 265.

and the second is (probably more important) - are there enough fighters for spliting the division in two.

and even third reason is standartization between diferent organizations and some atletic comision regulations

[BXBZ88]

15/170 gives 8.82%,15/185 gives 8.11%,

20/205 gives 9.76%,60/265 gives 22.64%

All others below 10% except for last.

As with the creation of the divisions,look to history.The fighters turn up when the divisions are created given time.

[icemanlonewolf]

Two equally skilled fighters. One weighing 280 (that cuts to 265) and the other weighing 230. Who wins?

More often than not the bigger guy is going to win.

[ALICEandBRENDA]

member fedor beat the 7 foot asain dude like nothin, leg locked his ass. even slammed him. size really doesnt matter... well when it comes to badass mother fuckers :p

[kahkistarfish]

he armbared him actually good try tho

[HeartBreak1x]

Damn right it looked like a child fighting a grownup. Boom Armbar Fedor is winrar

[outlawtattoo]

watch Sapp vs Nogeuria thats unbalanced :P lol randy vs brock was an awesome fight tho :)

[kirokyukan]

Id like to see an open weight class.

[JdawgMMAblog]

Experience vs. Youth we will see who prevails this time

[youlance29]

i like randy and have total respect, but vera is going to beat him.

[TillThenPlease]

Man, Randy's just such a cool guy.

[amarsh85]

randys gonna beat veras bitch ass

[UnreleasedMuuzik]

did you see when he hit Brock? looked like a fly tapped his face lol

[skieryz]

and that little tap gave him a cut.

[2323555]

I love randy..his so fucking chill. Like he doesn't run his fucking mouth before a fight. RESPECT!

[Fat2Skinny09]

I take nothing away from Randy. Well, i could not even if I tried. However, MMA has grown so much and he is at the end of his career as a fighter. Now he should be more of a coach and bring some great fighters into the UFC. Again, i am a fan of Randy's.  I am hoping he wins the Sat. It will show he still has something left. Always a pleasure to see him fight. He brings it every time.

[thosedamnhooligans]

Couture just hast to show up and heel win...

[BigMiahVATN]

dude thats ignorance to say he will just have to show up and he'll win...these ufc fighters are at the top of the heat in mixed martial arts none of them can be taken lightly

[MVious09]

i think the scarf that randy is wearing is priceless haha :D

[SinSlate]

i say that we should let randy do what he loves to do. he is still amazing and a great person to watch fight!!

keep going natural

[TIDE256]

Couture is old man...hes a good fighter but he needs to retire!

[bloodSport124]

@TIDE256 hes a good fighter BUT he does not to retire. thr r sooo many other fighters who r younger than him n loose almost every fight. the man is still givin it his best n fighting the top fighters. ALOT OF RESPECT 4 him man. 4real thts just amazing.

[chapemee]

hes a freak.

[Odn37]

nice scarf big man

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

May the best fighter get KTFO!!

[rocwiler0]

what? lol

[MaladaptiveCatalyst]

KTFO=Knocked The Fuck OUT!!

[Theegamedude]

I like this guy

[tony77tony77]

Randy Couture is a cool guy but hes to old to fight.

[TNAngIe]

when is this going to end people has been saying that 3 years ago when he won the ufc heavyweight championship...he has proven age isnt the factor.

[Kollif]

wtf do UFC keep uploading the same video @@

[aceofosea]

If Couture loses this fight, he really should just retire.

[newmondo]

Randy via old man strength

[IAreMean]

Randy is Amazing. He's still holding up and that's what makes him so admirable.

[amd87]

damn look at randy's nose while he talks.

[codywatkins1108]

hahahahhahahaahhaha

[espada9]

Looking forward to seeing this but I don't want either fighter to lose, I like Vera's style of Muay Thai and Randy IS Capitan America (I met him at his gym in Vegas when was there training during the weekend of UFC 94). Should be interesting, Vera has some very solid wrestling skills of his own but they'll be tested by Randy.

[Cigaro1887]

Dude can still fight,i just wish he be a little more agressive.

[Zangado]

War old man..WAR!!

[BkBeast23]

RANDY IS THE MAN and yes the caps were essential

[FPSzanta]

vera is going to have a hard time but it'll be a nice fight. love to watch my other philipino mutts to battle

[niceonebrotha]

he didnt metnion rua??

[SmokeyTheCat21]

Couture got some ugly ass ears

[gram1615]

years of wrestling and cage fighting!!

[StyleSessions]

Couture has no fuckin chance

easy money on Vera, hit that bet hard.

Vera can still compete with heavyweights if he wants. Randy can barely compete period.

Very good card, other fights could go either way unline 104 which was a shit card.

[craze6663]

brandons big break?

[RonnieTalamaivao]

Dana is gonna sue the hell out of Couture.

Why? Because Couture is in the EA's new MMA game, and Dana made an announcement that if any from the UFC company agrees to sign with EA, he would sue that person.

[Labib96]

Randy has a different kind of contract which says he can work with different companies for entertainment purposes. Dana said he is cool with it.

[DudeHuge]

This information is 7 months old.  The fuck are you talking about? Randy is allowed to go too different promotions.

[ringotomb]

not as long as he is under contract with the ufc hes not

[DudeHuge]

I meant he can be in other video games and whatnot.

[Indolestic]

You know Randy's Badass when he wears a scarf and a hat to an interview.

[BUDDAz1g]

i know right

[dxmakina]

so in other words, the same thing randy always does.

[Stigmableedingblack]

Loses?

[libertines24]

I love Randy

[xFatiguedx]

Actually the reason why mma records are so screwed up is because the best fighter always face each other as soon as they begin one wins one loses all the time in boxing it's hardly

[sjcpal]

Good point ...Why do you think that is ? maybe because they don't make as much as pro boxers and need to fight more for the money ? Just a thought

[junebugshhh]

I love Randy !!!!

[ScottySexdance]

I don't see why people care if he's overrated.

Of course he is, but his fights are always fun to watch so why even complain?

[thekenner]

Wonder how many times they plan to upload this....

[eLLriDe420]

vera by tko, whenever he wants. he faught tim sylvia in his prime....he wont have a problem with an old man...

[Stigmableedingblack]

Randy is the most overrated fighter of all time.

Him and his 16-10 record sucks.

The only reason hes anything special is that he is old.

Captain Tomatocan.

[Yurg24]

i love watching randy and so do most MMA fans..

he is never in a boring fight win or lose and he is also a two weight champion not many have done that.. so how is he over-rated please explain

[Cropheus]

He is fun fighter i agree.

But also overrated. reason?

He got a title shot against Timmy after KO LOSS to chuck!

Only significant fighter he ever beat is Gonzaga.

And every1 thinks he is a god.

I'm telling you that he will get a title shot if he beats Vera by some miracle

[Yurg24]

he has beat chuck liddell, vitor belfort twice.. kevin randelmen, pedro rizzo twice, tito ortiz

those are some big names if you are a real MMA fan

[iraqikid5000]

yea but must of those guys are light heavyweight

[Yurg24]

what do you think randy was when he fought these guys???

that made me laugh

[ReyMysterio1254]

Yeah Randy is overrated but I got respect for him. He's still very entertaining to watch.

[Jfroese2007]

I'll agree with you that he's over rated, but you gotta remember he's not young anymore, and his fights are ALWAYS entertaining.

[warrior4lif3]

Randy is an overrated fighter who once held the Lightheavyweight and Heavyweight Belt? The 1st UFC fighter to do so also if I can re-call besides Bj....

He also used to own the Heavyweight Division... Since when did you start to watch UFC or MMA as a matter of fact?

[Keysi4life]

im glad you would rather have a fighter who is 45-0 and have some of the most broing fights ever than have a legend who is 16 -10 that always has an exciting fight I swear you new MMA fans are so retarded

[HomicideNotorious187]

Gotta love it when UFC does free fights ;D i'm personally going for Couture it would be sad to see him lose.

[troyisfilming]

couture is an awesome person

[CrazyDudemeister]

Dude, the freaking quality fucking sucks man.

[louis1152]

randy is the man.

[xxAjFxx]

ball sack

[terek86]

FEDOR!

[0ddzZz]

can't wait! I love free fights.

[Midnightballa]

UFC 105 go :]

[TheRandombk]

close fight.....

[UFC]

Videos are being uploaded again because at the beginning of the old videos they advertised the fights as being on PPV in the US. However, the fights are free on Spike. To clear up any confusion, the new videos have the correct Spike advertisement.

[HistoricalBaller]

Do you truly believe the best fighters in the world are in the UFC, or is there more?

[GorillaKingdomFN]

who is this that is typing this, if you are someone from the video blog, I'll go crazy

[UnreleasedMuuzik]

UFC!! YOU'RE THE SHIT!!

Remember that! lol
