RANDY COUTURE on Fedor & the media w/COFIELD from ESPNRADIO1100 and CAGEWRITER.com

[thehomefront]

this guy comes across as a right sneaky fucker. he needs to work on his interviews

[ultraviolentrays]

fedor usualy looks like hes getting his ass kicked, then something crazy happens and he wins, which is awesome, haha

[tearo]

His bouts with Randleman and Coleman were just an example.

[jackbox1971]

Fedor would obviously and perhaps quickly defeat Randy 2009. We will never see Fedor 2005 vs. Randy 2003. Sorry. That is the fight that folks want to see.

[jackbox1971]

Andre came probably 3rd closest.... CroCop gave him a challenge... Coleman had him on the ground (maybe). But, honestly, no one has every really gotten handle on Fedor's action.

[Koldhart1]

@jackbox1971 Fujita was closest before werdum. Almost knocked him out.

[peterlololool]

i cant hear shit what Couture said

[howcynicalofme]

frdman27 just wants to piss off fedor's fan, becaue he knows that fedor is the best and frdman27's idol is nothing,

[FRDMAN27]

if Arlovski would have stuck to the game plan he would have one hands down!

FACT!

[Stroma2]

That's not a fact, it's an opinion. Fedor beat Andrei at his own game, the standup. Fedor hadn't even attempted a takedown yet where he clearly has the advantage. Going into the fight everyone knew Arlovski was going to try to keep the fight standing because that's his bread and butter. If you rewatch the fight in slow motion you will see that Fedor avoided most of Andre's strikes. When it was all said and done, Fedor knocked out the #2 HW in less than five minutes. Now that's impressive.

[FRDMAN27]

you actually watched the whole fight in slowmo.

wow your a true FANGIRL!

[meetthymaker]

"if Arlovski would have stuck to the game plan he would have one hands down!

FACT! "

The fucking game plan is not being punched in the head to the point that you end up the floor like a sack of potatoes - so yes your right he did not stick his game plan.

[FRDMAN27]

hahahaha another fedor fag i cant wait until he loses again!!!

[meekhon]

you have a long wait ahead of you Arlovski asslover.

[FRDMAN27]

another fedor fangirl maybe when he does lose you can get his nuts out of your mouth fag.

[kingpinofcrime]

too bad it wont happen

[SiderealSci]

Fedor is a good fighter, he goes in and wins, he is humble and doesn't talk trash or anything.

People like you who talk trash just make yourselves look bad, while Fedor continues to win.

[FRDMAN27]

Yeah and every time people like you talk it makes me hate fedor fans more!

[wg390]

FRDMAN27

It is free world

You can hate anyone and everyone

Unfortunatly for you Best of the Best always beat hatered pll like you are --->

FRDMAN27

These ppl do not talk too much as you do FRDMAN27

They just do they best and beat a shit off from a big mouth loosers like your are

FRDMAN27

[FRDMAN27]

wg390

i dont give a shit

wg390

shut the fuck up

wg390

take those fedor nuts out of your mouth

wg390!!!!!!!!!!!

[wg390]

FRDMAN27

Sorry, your comments sounds like you are a little girl in last stage of histeria...

Do you need some help ?

[mond1122334455]

FRDMAN27 whats your problem you dumb cocksucker! ???

[FRDMAN27]

[FRDMAN27]

[mr3ggroll]

[FRDMAN27]

hey fuck off mr3ggirl. and wtf is a weaksauce you bitch

[kingpinofcrime]

you dont know what weaksauce is ? lol what a dumbass tell me whos your favourite fighter ?

[FRDMAN27]

got to go with the iceman and gsp but i like alot of dif fighters

[kingpinofcrime]

Gsp is great one of the best and iceman well i like him but he needs to retire who else can he fight now

[FRDMAN27]

whats weaksauce im curios now?

[kingpinofcrime]

the knee was part of the gameplan he used it before in previous fight and roach said it himself

[Batment]

I like Randy! Not only a great fighter but also an intalectual.

[WhyMustYouBeSoStupid]

Why the fuck are people talking as if Arlovski exposed some weakness of Fedor's? Cro Cop had him hurt a lot worse- he broke Fedor's nose and Fedor's eye was shut after the fight. Arlovski barely touched him.

[kpcpcpc]

thats true crocop did a lot more damage than AA . but no one raised a fuss

[guberif9000]

All he wants is to fight fedor i wish i could see that fight oh and i want to watch anderson silva fight geroges st pierre

[gregorio0123]

fador is the best fighter. you should expect that dude to be arlovski. but arlovski got close. got to give him credit.

[MikePGflan]

Pretty sure there were 4 other rounds after that one. He wasn't going to knock fedor out, he was not close.

[Olio89]

This interviewer is an idiot, it looks like he's not even listening and keeps looking at the camera like a dolt.

[TJoshuaR2]

fedor knew arlovski would go for the flying knee and he was baiting him in. right before the k.o. u can see fedor backing up giving andre just enough room.

[dariusmk]

Also don't forget Fedor has one of the most fragile skins in MMA. He bruises extemely easy, yet his face was clean after the fight.

If Arlovski had landed a punch directly on Fedor's face like you said, he would've been cut or bruised at least.

Fedor's face is another prove that he was never hit.

[dariusmk]

I also thought Arlovski landed some good shots when i first watched the fight. Then Fedor said in the press conference that he was never hurt and i thought he was lying, but then I watched all the exchanges in slow motion and i couldn't believe it was true.

You need to watch the fight in slow motion. In real time it's very deceiving.

[Tommy9834]

Right now Fedor is at the point where even if he was to lose, he'd still be considered the best fighter in the world.

[gregorio0123]

the only way they can beat fador is when he get old in the ring. point blank.

[Tommy9834]

Terminators don't age.

[gigilo4u2]

Hands down,Fedor is the best fighter the world has ever seen.Everyone is waiting for someone to get lucky is all.

[dariusmk]

lol, hurt Fedor? when?

Andrei didn't even touch Fedor's face. Even Fedor said he was never in trouble.

All the exchanges were posted on sherdog in slow motion. Andrei's best shot was a punch to Fedor's chest.

Fedor landed the only significant punch in the fight, and he KTFO Arlovski.

[kingcrimson234]

i think you must have missed the very first punch that landed in the fights, which was directly on fedors face and he slightly wobbled from it. there were a couple other times, and then a pretty decent uppercut.

[dariusmk]

No, i didn't miss anything. I have watched the fight countless times, with ALL exchanges in slow motion (on sherdog).

That first punch you said landed directly on Fedor's face didn't even connect. Fedor throws a left jab followed by a straight right, Arlovski thorws a jab and a right. Nobody connected, however the clash made Fedor lose some balance.

The uppercut when Arlovski was against the ropes landed on Fedor's chest area, near his armpit.

[cdm386]

lol nick 3425 and dana....

[angryvegetarian]

The interviewer is a jackass.

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

Randy your're friggin nuts! Hurt?.....He hit him but never was he EVER EVER HURT! Get Real!

[Soterius]

FIrst I have to say I'm not from the US, so it's not my native language. But I believe the expression "to hurt someone" is being used in a very broad meaning. It's not only used literally but also figuratively: by saying Arlovski was "hurting" Fedor, Randy could also mean Arlovski's punches were getting through and he was scoring points.

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

I understand what you are saying but i think Randy exaggerates by saying he was hurt and he was frustrated to the point of lieing. Fedor got hit but was never hurt or frustrated. Fedor was feeling Arlovski out for the first few minutes waiting for the guy to make a mistake plus Arlovski was throwing quick punches that fedor was trying to avoid. The fight speaks for itself no need for Randy to make shit up.Thx

[cdm386]

he watched the fight in person and he is a fighter, if he said he hurt him is because he did. But anyway, he ktfo him so all thatt work he did in the first minutes were for nothing

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

Dude are you 10? No shit sherlock Randy Couture is a fighter. Get a life your whole comment wreaks of idiocy!

[cdm386]

get a life? man you get sensitive because i think randy is right when he says he saw andrei hurting fedor? somebody is a fuckin idiot eh...

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

Nah, just don't like people who are dumb enough to mention crap like Randy couture is a fighter which is the absolute most obvious thing my mentally challenged friend!

[cdm386]

first, im not your friend. second, i said he was a fighter to make some idiots hmm hmm realize that he might know more than any average joe, if he saw fedor getting hurt that might have happened, even if many think otherwise

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

I'm always friends with the retards.....Do you wear a helmet when you go outside?

[cdm386]

finally we agree on something, you are friend of retards indeed...

[GreatGizaGODof1914]

Thx friend!

[dota600]

thank god I am not friends with you.

[kingcrimson234]

andrei didn't so much hurt fedor as i think he was really starting to confuse him, but as good as he was doing with his boxing he screwed up. misjudged how badly fedor was hurt, jumped in for a premature finish and got KTFO. it was hard for me to watch, AA is my favorite fighter and he was doing quite well in there. gay to see it end like that.

[cdm386]

qft, the man could have done history but he fucked up big time. Maybe some other fighter can take notes from that fight and continue what Andrei couldnt finish....

[HeyItsRudy]

And you're just like every other American in his blissful arrogance.

[nick3425]

Fedor is like any other russian and is a pussy who is afraid to fight in the mainlight in UFC.

[aznguy11111]

andrei arlovski and tim sylvia were from the UFC...

[amadisdemitrius]

aaahahahahaha, your a moron.

[trishthedish71]

buhaahhahahahahhaahhhaaha YOUR A  DINK

[nick3425]

29-1*

and don't put words in my mouth, boy.

[Mephisto1616]

go and watch his 1 loss,and look at your UFC guys,all have lots of loses...so stop talking shit you stupid idiot.You are qlueless

[nash3timemvp]

aa did have the upper hand fact of the matter is hes a better striker than fedor but fedor is a thinker and some might say that those punchs were getting to fedor but i dont think they did fedor was just waiting for aa to make a mistake and he got it another great fedor win.nnone can out think fedor in the rings thats what makes him the best mma fighter of all time

[HeyItsRudy]

This interviewer is such a scheme, so easy to tell.

[RavenShield420]

funny how everyone say aa was kicking fedors ass .... 3 mins in the fight AA passed out on the floor. idiots

[nzdmj2000]

Hi tjjlm, Mark Hunt (arm bar) and coleman number 2 (choke) looked like they had him in trouble, the thing with fedor is not that he is untouchable, he is just unbeaten. Any doubter on fedor i challenge them to look at ALL his fights, i think they are all on u tube, then judge

[kingshahine]

Thats the difference.

We have seen him in trouble, in bad situations that would make most just give up. But he finds a way to re group and win

[thirtyaughsix]

WARLOVSKI

Controlled the whole fight

[floods]

Except for the whole KO thing huh? Fedor has been in FAR worse situations and has come out on top.

[thirtyaughsix]

I said he WAS controlling the fight. If you disagree with that then you are mentally challenged. There's no denying the fact that AA pushed the pace on Fedor and completely controlled him (big difference between control and dominate, im saying he CONTROLLED). Look at the fight stats.. there's no denying.

[OrangemenSU2012]

it never got pass the 1st round to see the judges scorecards though lol

[bigassballsyes]

when did AA have Fedor hurt?

[tjjlm]

in 30 pro fights i think that is a pretty good ratio only being truly rocked 1 time it has nothing to do with luck that is training,preparation and skills.

[tjjlm]

jsp you are 100% right why are people saying aa was kicking his ass. people lets remember this was a 1st round ko.fedor has set such a high standard that now people who dont give him his credit look for anything in any fight hes in to discredit him.can anyone please tell me 1 fight fedor has been in where there was ever a doubt that he was in jeopardy?i have watched the fight with aa a few times and not once was fedor ever hurt.the only time he has ever been hurt was against fujita.

[snakerattle79]

Couture Should Fight ASAP with Nog,Velasquez or Kongo instead whining about his non sense problems

[snakerattle79]

Fedor has have Slow Starts in PRIDE and then Destroyed his opponent in the end so what are these Ignorant people talking about

[snakerattle79]

Fedor Said He wasnt hurt even for 1 moment, and the replays showed he wasnt tagged at all, so Couture is Delusional, and the way Fedor fight in Pride, its how he fights..he was hurt more in the Hong Man Choi fight than the Arlovski fight

[calripson]

What a joke..don't mistake Fedor's patience with his "losing the fight". He fought a smart fight, letting Arlovski show his cards and then put him to sleep.

[gymboy99]

if the fedor hators still arnt convinced they never will be

[XCMxPunkX]

Cofield's a fucking idiot.

[jsg103]

Why does everyone hate cofield? i'm not bashing i'm really curious, i don't pay attention to espn bc their coverage is usually shit, but i hear a lot of people that don't like cofield, i was just curious what the deal behind it is.

[nick3425]

Everyone thinks Fedor is this great well rounded fighter but he isn't. Arlovski was winning most of the round and made a very foolish mistake and fedor capitalized.

If Arlovski didn't do that he would of won that fight.

[Kopower1]

How do you know that? it was the first round only. Still 4 more rounds to go dude. And Fedor did not put up the tempo in the first round. Stupid to say that AA would win the "fight" and not the round;)

[nick3425]

He would of won the FIGHT.

Fedor didn't know what to do and was overwhelmed with AA's speed and striking.

He made a stupid mistake and Fedor caught him.

[Kopower1]

You don't know if he would win the FIGHT. Because the fight stopped after 3 min. AA was winning the first round. NOT the fight. Its a difference. Fedor does not need to dominate each round to win the fight. We did not see the fight going to the ground did we? What could happen there? Take a guess. AA gave Fedor some "problems" but even Fedor says that he was feeling comfortable standing with AA. I really dont see AA wining the fight. But he was winning the 1 round.

[gymboy99]

i disagree

[Lad22nd]

That's what MMA's about, not making mistakes, andrei made a mistake.

[floods]

Im sure Arlovski would have had that speed if say the fight went on for 2--3 more rounds. Arlovski got cocky and got knocked out. So i think Fedor knew EXACTLY what to do. You think Fedor dropping his hands was because he was hurt. Lol. That was an invite. Saw the rush..........guess what happened next?

[kingshahine]

That was the plan.

freddie roach said that was the plan in a pre fight interview. so it wasn't that he got cocky, he planned that. he thought he would hurt fedor standing and fedor would shoot in and he would go for the flying knee.

arloski did that in the past two fights he had before fedor

[floods]

He wasn't hurt though. The punches he landed weren't even flush. Maybe not "cocky", how about over-excited? Lol.

[kingshahine]

he probably got over excited. But it wasnt a stupid move by arlovski. fedor baited him into throwing it as well. fedor kinda bounced off the ropes which is usually a sign ur dazed. obviously fedor wasnt, and hit him with amazing accuracy.

u saw the bj penn vs sherk fight? bj did the exact same thing when sherk bounced off the cage. when that happens people usually shoot in for the takedown especially when they are hurt

[nick3425]

Fedor is shitty thats why he wont go to the ufc.

he'd get his ass beat

[HeyItsRudy]

Actually Fedor said it himself the UFC isn't a versatile corporation. Most of their fighters are American and Fedor said he wants to fight fighters from around the world. And he just knocked out 2 UFC champions in the first round. Ignorance is bliss.

[RealityCries]

judging by your statement you don't know anything about Fedor, UFC or fighting.

[nick3425]

Rofl kid, just stating the obvious.

[blunderking]

yes that is why. he doesnt think he can beat top 5 and top 6 so he stay outside and fight top 2, top 3 and top 4 instead. make sence doesnt it?

[RealityCries]

what people don't realize is that when Fedor fights, he treats it like a chess game, he plans his moves ahead, figuring out what to do before it happens.

he is a genius in a sense. though a lot of people do not realize it.

what they should do is check out his other fights, he is always calm and collected not bouncing around wasting energy, he knows what to do.

[jsg103]

Your a complete moron, why don't you try training or fighting a few times and you wouldn't spew such bullshit, I'm far from a fan of fedor but arlovski didn't even land anything flush, they clinched for 1 of the 3 minutes so essentially aa landed a few punches for 2 minutes of a 25 minute fight. It wasn't even close. If you get brutally knocked out in 3 minutes there is no moral victory, you got schooled like a fuckin bitch. end of story.

[idz135]

Not to nitpick but Fedor wasn't hurt or hit hard & clean w/ ANY punches. All glancing shots like he said in post interview presser.

Good to see Cofield wasn't overblowing what was happening prior to the KO. Perception and possible "want" of Fedor to go thru something like that didn't sway his vision of the fight.

Also, the flying knee is only a mistake in hindsight. The takedown wasn't a part of the "gameplan" either but it didn't lead to the finish so it isn't used as a pathetic excuse.

[Khalifornia]

randy is old... 46 years in his next fight.

[Johanadrian]

fedor vs randy: still amazing

[wartarot]

Fedor knocks out Arlovski at 3:30 of the first round and Cofield is downplaying Fedor's win. What does this guy expect, Fedor is going to kill you by just looking?

If Lesnar had beaten Couture the same way, guaranteed Cofield would be calling Lesnar an amazing fighter.

And compared to Fedor's wars with Crocop and Nogueira, Arlovski was a cakewalk.

[luke2468013579]

i would love to see randy vs fedor...i would be a massacre but still a good fight ...and arlovksi hurt fedor? ..i saw him get hit once by arlovski and he didnt give a shit....even if arlovski didnt make that mistake....you think he could have gone 5 rounds with fedor without making a single mistake...and thats exactly what fedor kept saying when interviewed, that he was planning on capitalising on arlovski's mistakes.

[jeffsst]

arlovski got owned! he was ko'ed in 3 minutes so everybody should stfu and adknowledge the emperor for who he really... the icon of mma!

[boxboxerboxen]

randy couture is a nice guy, he isnt such an asshole like dana white. i hope Randy becomes the new UFC President instead Dana White. Than we become great fighters and great sport in UFC

[Steadno]

cant beat brock cant beat fedor
