MMAjunkie.com HDNet Randy Couture

[Obhi33]

i love Randy but has no chance against Fedor

[LadyQuinn09]

im tied between these two. they're both great fighters with their own little strategies to get a good hit.

[jerven200]

Fedor is to fast for Randy..Randy would get knocked out..Randy is slow these days and he was lucky James Toney is fat and overweight and even slower on his feets than he is..

[MegaMma4life]

@jerven200 are you fucking retarded james toney ???? in a cage couture could  be 200 years old in a wheel chair and would still beat toney honestly are you retarded do you know anything about mma couture is a god you think fedor is faster then couture your high is fedor faster then belfort or liddell ummm no your comment needs to be more thought out and intelligent you are a reason i hate mma fans becuase there fucking stupid

[Obhi33]

@MegaMma4life god damn what a blind fanboy you are!

[MegaMma4life]

@jerven200 really belforts hands down fastest hands in mma and he couldnt t off on randy what makes you think fedor would couture would put him against the cage and hurt him then take him down and ground and pound james toney would ko fedor its a joke your comment is uneducated

[jerven200]

Fedor is to fast for Randy..Randy would get knocked out..Randy is slow these days and he was lucky James Toney is fat and overweight and even slower on his feets than he is..

[jerven200]

Fedor is to fast for Randy..Randy would get knocked out..

[darthsasuke554]

Couture v Fedor 5 years ago would be epic....now it would just be a good fight

but Fedor will never fight Mir,Couture,Lesnar until M-1 stops owning Fedor

[redhatlt]

Couture is a LEGEND but Fedor is the Best.

ALOT OF RESPECT FOR BOTH FIGTHERTS.

[TimbalandRec]

i would smash randy's face in no time my friends

[tony30able]

@TimbalandRec Oh Really? Interesting. Why don't ya fight in the UFC and make a statement then?

[SogufitDofeme]

giving me a hard-on , this happens when I go to - tiny[.]cc/mygfsucksyou

[PolarePer]

Randy put up some important things there

[adamrst]

Randy is a legend, I'll put him up there with anyone in MMA for past acheivments but sorry there's no way he's handle Fedor....would hold up remarkably for a 44(?)yr old but there's only one winner there.

What about Couture vs Arlovski? give this a reference point.

[wonggfan]

Randy got pwned by Nog and Vera. Fedor would eat Nog and Vera for braekfast.

Randy vs Fedor fight would be the last time Randy would be able to use the restroom by himself.

AA would kill Couture.

Let's look at Couture's records against Top10 HWs:

Barnett (GOT PWNED)

Ricco (GOT PWNED)

Tim Sylvia (Win via points after psyching out the dumb ogre)

Brock (GOT PWNED)

Nog (GOT PWNED)

So his only career win against a great HW is against a confused Sylvia via points.

[adamrst]

Glad you got that off your chest...

I never even incinuated Couture had a chance against Fedor or any heavyweight worth their beans...will turn up though no matter what.

[tony30able]

@wonggfan He didn't get owned by lesnar, he actually is the only fighter to even give Brock an actual fight. He got caught in the second round and brock took advantage of it. He destroyed Sylvia because he was a better fighter. And all the other fights, he never got "Owned". You have no idea what you are even talking about.

[wonggfan]

@tony30able

Obviously you buy into "I got caught" Randy talk. That is Randy's fucking talk.

"its a fight, anything could happen and I got caught".."he was a better man tonight"..."he is a big guy..and used his size advantage well."

This kinda talk is being a fag loser disguised as "sportsmanship" talk.

Randy got KTFO. He did not "destory" Sylvia. He won by point match and confusion. You would say Randy put up a good fight against Brock and destroyed Sylvia? Fag!

[EzekioMuhammed]

@wonggfan Randy is a pretty amazing fighter dude have you watched his fights? IE when he versed brock lesnar he gave him a good run for his money i mean fuck the dude was like 40 pounds more and randy stood up to him and shook him up pretty bad, he always has heart in all his fights and tries his best and gives a great show

[wonggfan]

@EzekioMuhammed

Have I watched? I watched all his fights.

I like the dude at 205. But at HW, he has been champions when the division was crap. He lose to Barnett. Then when Barnett leaves, he becomes the champ. He becomes the champ after beating Sylvia by points.

I like the dude. I think he is good. But that doesn't change the fact that he is a mediocre HW and would get killed by any of the top 10 HWs at this time.

[EzekioMuhammed]

@wonggfan Yeah i see what your saying, his heavy weight reign is gone he is always a threat in heavyweight, anything can happen but yeah he is great at 205, he is like Forrest Griffin, you just gotta at least respect/love them :P

[wonggfan]

@EzekioMuhammed

Dude I fucking respect Randy. He is a pioneer of the sport.

I was just talking to those that say that Randy had the best chance to beat Fedor.

I mean back in 2008 the betting odds were like 45 to 55 at one point. That is crazy. Randy would have gotten killed by Fedor. But that doesn't mean he is a crappy fighter. He is a legend and his time is up.

I also don't really like senior MMA fights UFC has been putting up. I like the fights but they shouldn't be main events.

[EzekioMuhammed]

@wonggfan Yeah UFC is putting up those as main events purely for money purpose, since everyone knows the names of course they are going to go see and UFC is taking advantage of that, for example Kimbo Slice, same thing. And yes i see what your saying, personally, odds are a big factor yes, but anything can happen, one lucky punch could make the diference

[EzekioMuhammed]

@EzekioMuhammed damn these are epic comments man :P

[freedomsong006]

It's good to see he's still ambitious while being an older fighter. The fact he expresses his opinions eloquently and honestly make him such a likeable guy. Unlike alot of people who post negative comments about him.

[2345aa]

randys a legend.simple.

[PRIDEFC17]

what is so wrong with randy just wanting to compete? im so tired of you criticizing assholes calling him overated or his standup is terrible yea that is why he is a greco-roman wrestler. i would love to see randy vs fedor and randy just wants to compete thats all he doesnt care whether he wins or loses at this point because he has nothing left to prove.

[fLiaZz]

just beacuse randy beat sylvia doesn't mean he's unstoppable. his stand-up against sylvia improved, but against a stiker like liddell, it would get nullified as well as his takedowns.

[darrenjohnfrew]

yea chuck beat him but couture gets better with age thats the scarey thing he is a master strategist i do think fedor would beat him but i think ur giving randy less credit than he deserves dude

[NitrousOwnsYou]

yeah just like Lesnar....LOL! stfu.

[fLiaZz]

fedor vs randy? what a joke. the iceman schooled couture 2 times. fedor would do what the iceman did to couture, just worse.

[georgio316]

Randy was having emotional problems at the time. He left momentarily after that and when he came back, he was unstoppable.

[NidisListenstoShit]

Fedor vs. Couture wouldn't be a joke. The only thing funny about your comment is that you feel you can talk like that about a mixed martial arts legend, keyboard warrior.

[seaFoodSifu]

HAHAHAH "keyboard warrior" that's the best way to put it man ;)

[iguanabxr]

randy even at 45 will beat lesner he proved himself against silvia and gonzaga and brock is just not a mma star he will never b champion he just aint good enough he should go back to wwe and leave the real stuff up to the big boys he will always be nothin more than a faker

[nydream989]

Which pretty much proves you know nothing about MMA. Brock has alot of talent in ameteur wrestling,Great striking,Very quick and agila and possibly the most powerful HW in the world He can take down anyone in UFC or MMA IMO I never even saw Brock Lesnar in wwe. I didnt start watching Wrestling until 05 and I dont even watch it anymore. I pretty much really got introduced to Lesnar after he came to UFC and to say he wont ever be champion or he is not fit to be in the UFC is completly ridicilous.

[TheSteward123]

I think Randy is right to fight the top rated heaveywieght in the world. he deserves to "stack up" to fedor, even defeat him, before he is unable to compete. No disrespeact, but age catches up with people.

[SAINThoodSEEKER]

Randy Couture has ALWAYS been my favorite fighter. He has been everything from underdog to now dominate champ. However, with this business issue, he is all wrong. He has commented before that he has been mistreated, respect-wise, pay-wise, with merchandising issues, etc. Since his rise to stardom, he hasn't been happy with this salary. There never was even a number that he wanted, he would just try to find out various other fighters' pays and would want that matched or more! This, I don't like.

[joshjamesseves]

rans the man

[illiese1910]

randy is back in da ufc o yaaaaaaa fighting brock lesnar at ufc 91 omg what a fkin fkin surprise love u dana whiteeeeeeee

[mikeb7975]

dana whites an idiot

[drunkrock69420]

randy is such a bad ass

[masswithclass]

So why did he sign to fight with the UFC in the first place?

[Friendlynice]

Most MMA people do not know this, but Couture and Fedor have fought before. They fought in an unsanctioned exhibition bout in Japan in 2001. In the second round, Randy picked up Fedor off the ground and slammed him to the mat. Fedor pinched a nerve on his back and was unable to continue; therefore, declaring Couture the winner.

[Metatronicus]

is there a video of this event, i would like to see it.

[masswithclass]

Its all about the money with this guy. He says that "I think 6-10 [million should be the salary] for each of us and they're still gonna make a boatload of money on top of that"

Randy is not even in the top 3 for heavyweights.

Fedor

Big Nog

Barnett

Randy

The guy wouldnt even stick around to fight big nog.

[BORICUENSIS]

If Floyd Mayweather and Oscar de la Hoya can each earn 30 million bucks for one fight and the number one paid athlete in the world is Tiger fuckin Woods a fuckin golfer making 110 million dollars in one year. I think that a M.M.A. fighter that has to train 3 times a day and actually bleeds to make a living deserves a hole lot more compensation of what they are getting right now. No disrespect just a opinion.

[masswithclass]

Maybe your right but Randy has to beat big nog before he should get a shot at Fedor

[KingCrimson1982]

I don't think he has to fight anybody he doesn't want, it's his choice and his alone to chose who he fights.

[KingCrimson1982]

I agree.

[PartyAndHavingFun]

Randy seems to be a very nice guy.

[D0ctorKnockout]

randy speaks so intelligently

[InnerSpike]

No, although he is the Heavyweight champ, he is no longer fighting. He is taking a stand by not fighting for said reasons even though by contract he is scheduled to do 2 more title defenses.

[iamgannon4life]

kind of a dumb question but is couture still fighting or what? he hasnt defended his title since ufc 74.

[vidroj]

Pride is back!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haters

[T850CSM101a1676]

I thought they called it something else though. We should say "reincarnated".

[rubberhead28]

i agree

[mrscox27]

Anderson Silva is by far the Best Fighter in Mma sorry Bj Penn and Quentin rampage jackson fans.

[Eriikk82]

no fedor is the best!

[Mannypacquia0]

randy is a good fighter and all it would be a good fight against fedor and all but id say imo fedor would win randy would not go down without giving him a challenge and all so id say it would be a good fight.

[younghyphy17]

i meant fedor beat cro cop by descion and gonzaga and kongo woped cro cop!

[younghyphy17]

randy couture would beat fedor cause fedor is too lazy most fighters in pride r lazy cause of the style Randy would pressure him sylvia is a bad fight 4 fedor thats why fedor won.Randy has fought the best vitor belfort in his prime chuck liddell 3 times in his prime tito ortiz in his prime gonzga in his prime sylvia prime

all fedor fought mainly was asian fighters and none r top heavyweight

[wikichris]

You're making it more than obvious that you don't know anything about MMA. The fighters themselves, the fans, the journalists, and the promoters all know that Fedor is anything but lazy. It takes more than laziness to beat Tim Sylvia in 36 seconds. I recommend you stop commenting on MMA issues.

[TheOverfiendDj]

Im not a fan of fedor but i dont hate him he's a damn good fighter nobody can deny that if they do they are just pathetic.Anyway the only thing that pisses me off is the fact that ive never seen fedor fight anybody like randy.Yeah he's beat good fighters and ex champs but its annoying me that he hasnt fought the other best fighters out there

[panasyukm]

The fighters in the UFC are average there nothing special with a few exceptions like randy. If tim sylvia didnt fight fedor then everyone in america would still be thinking that he is a good fighter. Tim got exposed. This will happen to all the fighters from the ufc when they step into the ring with fedor.

Randy is good probebly the best in UFC but he will lose 100%

[TheOverfiendDj]

Your know nothing about MMA with that statement.

[sandutzr]

that's right.fedor will show them how good they really are(or bad) :)

[yorkshiremac]

Randy vs Fedor

Couture has nothing to lose he wins agaist fedor he goes down as prob best hw of all time . he loses agaist fedor so what 90% of the people think that anyway. PS couture in his prime would struggle agaist fedor fucking no chance now

[GSPP4PCHAMP]

I WISH RANDY HAD ONE MINUTE IN THE OCTAGON TO CRUSH DANAs TESTICLES!!! BUT DANAs TOO SCARED!!!!!!

[pitbull103]

Thoughtful, intelligent, brutal. I think Randy would lose to Fedor, but you never count that man out. Gonzaga and Sylvia are no cupcakes, and Randy has a "fighter's chance" -- not a puncher's chance. That is, Randy could put together such a sound game plan, he might pull it off. Although game plans get messed up as soon as you get hit. I think he would have to squash Fedor up against the cage and dirty box him to oblivion. That greco roman strength will keep ANYBODY in the clinch.

[achillesandroscoe]

Randy would fuck NOG up just like he would do 2 fedor!

[BulldozerLemon]

Randy VS Fedor is the best HW fight right now. Both say they want to fight one another and so be it, let it be a most glorious fight...one to remember for the ages.

[sandutzr]

Fedor 28-1 , Randy 16-8 How is Randy the best fighter??

[audan2006]

randy pretty much never fought second rate fighters, fedor has fought some of those, but also top fighters, randy isdef 1 of the best, u cant just go by record for how good a fighter is

[sandutzr]

Record doesn't matter? Ok. But if you say that Randy never fought second rate fighter, then you know nothing. BAS RUTTEN is the greatest besides Fedor and not Couture.Bas and Fedor would be the best fight ever.

[audan2006]

i never said records dont matter, nor did i say randy never fought second rate fighters

well guess what...the organization disagreed with u, along with me, so yull just hav to get over it =p

[wg390]

Fedor on July 19 closed a deal

[BulldozerLemon]

??? never said Randy was the best fighter...reread my post before you reply.

[Socalplyr213]

u can't count randy out

[allyboy2112]

randy is wack, and fedor is way way way out of his league. randy should have retired as the ufc heavy weight chump. oh and his wife kim got her ass kick too. wtf, you should stay at home and just spend randy's money like your good at. gold digger

[WadeOde]

take fedor's dick out of your mouth,I like fedor but randy deserves a shot everone knows that

[allyboy1221]

randy deserves dick, just like you faggot. it took him 25mins to do what fedor did in 36sec. randy should fight mark hunt or Sergei Kharitonov or even fedors little bro Aleksander. he'll get map and then he' retirer, and not want to ever fight fedor. randy got his ass kicked by chuck- twice, that was funny to me. he was scared. then he got drop like a bag of shit in 2mins the fist fight and in 7min the second. its funny to me.

[tsunamibr0s]

u r a retard im a big fan of fedor and i am a fan of randy i think fedor will win that fight against randy but randy has done a lot and earned every penny ur a retard fedors champ and randys #1 contender will c what happens when they fight

[WadeOde]

LoL wow you are a fucking idiot,if we did a comparison to fighters times,THat would make no sense,for example Wanderlei destroyed rampage before the rounds were up and it took chuck all 3 rounds to win a decision,then rampage knocked out chuck in about 2 minutes,(I know rampage knocked out chuck first thats just how I worded it),and thats just 1 STYLES MAKE MATCHES AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD MATCHUP STYLISTICLY

[bigmed155]

does the muhamid ali act protect mma fighters?

[scott6682]

If Randy got knocked out twice by Liddell at 205 lbs I don't see how he'll beat Fedor who hits harder & faster as a heavyweight. Still should be a great fight.

[ddawg2324]

Quit talking shit about Couture. He doesn't talk bad about any opponent or fans so leave him alone. Jesus Christ

[konnan216]

name one person in the past 4 years that fedor beat who wasnt a chump? randy will destroy fedor hands down. randy is one of the smartest fighters out there u give him 1 tinny thing to exploit and hes got u

[ddawg2324]

i didn't say randy would lose. I'm a huge Couture fan and i think he would dominate him too lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding

[ruud76]

Still think that now? Couture took 5 rounds to take Sylvia, Fedor took 36 seconds...it's an awful matchup for Randy - I'd stuggle to see it lasting a couple of rounds.

[702decatur]

Randy also lost to a lot of people and gotten knocked out. Fedor beats whom ever is put in front of him.

[ironsheik7]

I'm commenting before i watch the video not sure how many fights randy had left / but when he goes to court he will lose the case he has a written contract for UFC for the fights / doesn't matter how many people like him or how popular he is / he has a written contract and by law you can not break a contract / he should have done like Tito Ortiz did finish up his last few fights then just walk away / Randy's making a mistake handling it the way he is its very Un-professional

[freedomtruthfreedom]

i agree completely.....i love randy, however, do not sign a contract if you are not going to fullfill it!

[pete24to]

he got scared to fight big nog

[ironsheik7]

pete24to Big nog lmao . Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira barely made it past tim sylvia. tim beat the piss out of nog through the whole fight . till tim the not so bright fighter he is made a mistake and got submited. Big nob lmao . do you listen to every thing dana hwite tells you. I bet if dana white come up to you in an alley way and pulled down his pants and said pete24to get on your knees and suck my dick. youd be down there before the ocunt of 3 tasteing his pork sausage

[Socalplyr213]

Golden Boy & Affliction

Make it happen! HBO

lol fans,money,good fights its a win/win situation

[y1ong]

oscar is going to end up taking over MMA if that dumb Dana White keeps treating fighters like shit. FUCK DANA WHITE.

[antifascistpunk]

Fuck Dana White? Lets see, Tito wanted a raise when he couldn't beat ANYONE. Why should he have got a raise?

[WadeOde]

ya but he did have a huge fanbase and help grow the sport,if you like it or not its the truth

[WanderleiSilva29]

he should have got a raise because he draws the crowd. The UFC made a huge profit because of him. In the same respect, Chuck Liddell got 500k Rampage only got like 250k... Chuck gets knocked out, yet still makes 500k in his next fight coming off a loss. Win or lose it doesnt matter, if a fighter draws a crowd or makes the UFC millions, the fighters want a piece as well. It has nothing to do with fight records, its business. Tito can lose the next 6 straight and yet his fans will pay to see him.

[karlos81]

Fedor has fought bums for year his best win is Cro Crop who lost in 1rd against Gonzaga who inturn got smashed by Couture.

Coutre has the best rusume in mma history.

[63Jax]

I wanna see a rematch between Cro Cop and Gonzaga

[DRandrey]

dont talk trash

[14243183]

1 - fedor (the machine of fighter)

2 - minotauro ( the best resistance of human)

3 - mirko (the sinister kick fighter reload)

4 - fabricio werdun (submission\/jiujitsu Champion )

5 - mark hunt (head iron ) randy the ''shit'' couture easy fighter not chance americans fighters of sport mma the easy fighters

good fighters europe/brazil  he winners all

[secretlad]

randys ear is fucking horrible

[poppyprince85]

BUT RANDY ( 16-8) IS NOT THE BEST ...

1:a Fedor ( 27-1)

2:a Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (31-4-1)

LOOK AT THE RECORDS..

[karlos81]

Sorry Randy has beat and fought much better fighters at a higher level.

Im a Fedor fan but Couture has a much better resume.

[Fedormma27]

lol look who has been fighting the clemdalacrem on paper randy has been fighting the best since 2000

[Socalplyr213]

and one of the best that beat randy was josh burnett hes also fighting 4 affliction

[andrew1983123]

I dont give Randy a cat in hells chance of defeating Fedor. Fedors too strong, too young, too fit and the most important Fedor is too good

[tehFAO]

Say it like this Randy...

FAAAYYYY DOOOOOORRRRR!!!

lawlzlennehardtzlol

[isakdick]

no.. his name is pronounced: fyodor yemelianenko

[utukhg]

I've heard Fedor's name pronounced so many different ways who knows what's the correct way?

[beast8282]

Grammatically, Fyodor is the correct way (the russian pronounciation) to pronounce Fedor

[tthao69]

i like his t-shirts though

[MMAwesome]

Randy is a very respectable person. I still think he'll get owned tho.

[bigassballsyes]

Fedor will own him anyway so don't get too excited

[heraklosus]

randy-king forever

[shakeri840813]

fedor won´t go over because dana "shaved pig" white wouldn´t let him to compete in sambo and therefore taking away fedors true style and competition goals. randy is the man and now he is leaving the ufc because he starts to realize what manipulative person dana is. i hope the fight gets on soon although i think fedor will win i´m gonna cheer for randy,, go randy u r the man

[poder80]

respect 4 Randy.

[ccman0224]

Randy is distracting by making this about up and comers, it has nothing to do with his personal issues here, just gives a much better soap box than 'i want De la hoya payment, and theres only one hope on where to get it, and he wont fight there because the cage scares him'.

[ccman0224]

He is not fighting anyone real and has not in a long time. Bottom line, you sign a contract, you finish it, he fought one more time he could go and get this fight easy. He just wants ufc money for it, and anywhere else in the world, Fedor gets the bigger money.

[ccman0224]

No matter what i think of couture as a fighter (i think he is an animal, in all the good ways that could imply) I think he is way off base here. All his claims have been proven false about his payments from UFC. It was Fedor who did not want to fight here, and to be honest, I think ducked couture.

[omgstoptakingnames]

couture wants this fight to happend so bad and everyone else does too!

[danehoy]

(1) Professional boxing differs from other major, interstate professional sports industries in the United States in that it operates without any private sector association, league, or centralized industry organization to establish uniform and appropriate business practices and ethical standards. This has led to repeated occurrences of disreputable and coercive business practices in the boxing industry, to the detriment of professional boxers nationwide.

[danehoy]

2) State officials are the proper regulators of professional boxing events, and must protect the welfare of professional boxers and serve the public interest by closely supervising boxing activity in their jurisdiction. State boxing commissions do not currently receive adequate information to determine whether boxers competing in their jurisdiction are being subjected to contract terms and business practices which may violate State regulations, or are onerous and confiscatory.

[danehoy]

(3) Promoters who engage in illegal, coercive, or unethical business practices can take advantage of the lack of equitable business standards in the sport by holding boxing events in States with weaker regulatory oversight.

[danehoy]

(4) The sanctioning organizations which have proliferated in the boxing industry have not established credible and objective criteria to rate professional boxers, and operate with virtually no industry or public oversight. Their ratings are susceptible to manipulation, have deprived boxers of fair opportunities for advancement, and have undermined public confidence in the integrity of the sport.

[danehoy]

5) Open competition in the professional boxing industry has been significantly interfered with by restrictive and anticompetitive business practices of certain promoters and sanctioning bodies, to the detriment of the athletes and the ticket-buying public. Common practices of promoters and sanctioning organizations represent restraints of interstate trade in the United States.

[soggdogg]

quit typing stuff taht you just read online somewhere.

[danehoy]

(6) It is necessary and appropriate to establish national contracting reforms to protect professional boxers and prevent exploitive business practices, and to require enhanced financial disclosures to State athletic commissions to improve the public oversight of the sport.

[soggdogg]

Quit typing stuff that you read online somewhere.

[danehoy]

i liked what he said about the Mohammad Ali act. I think it should be extended

[triplefnh]

Well with 16-8 record and 6-5 in the last 11, Couture isn't really one of the best fighters.

He's no' 4 at best after Fedor, Big Nog and Barnett.

If he wants to achieve no' 2-3 status to be eligible to be fighting Fedor, he can try and beat Big Nog, which was offered him by the UFC

Man up, Randy !

[audri98]

tha's exactly what i was trying to say ...

you got that right ...

[Gamingaccess]

I met Randy Couture personally in his gym in Las Vegas

He is a very descent guy, will he win Emilianenko?

NO idea, but I hope to see that fight before the 2 years of Fedor's contract

[motepelao]

is he waxing his eye brows?
