1. Could be a good fight
Lesnar has Couture on size, but I imagine Couture has Lesnar on agility.

3. Gonna have to go with Lesnar.
As much as i have enjoyed Randy these many years he is 45. 45 and fighting a man who out weighs him by 60lbs at fight time (45 now due to weight cutting, but will be 60+ fight night). Also Randy won't be able to use his wrestling to his advantage since Brock is at least as good as Randy, though the styles are different with Greco Roman for Randy, and Freestyle for Brock.

However i do believe Randy is much slicker in the grappling department, and may find the way to win on the ground via submission. With that being said i think Randy's plan is to be elusive and use his striking, and dirty boxing in the clinch to slowly wear the big guy down and causing him to gas out.

Brock's plan will be to come out and be methodical, use his wrestling to get the fight on the ground or against the fence. From here he will look to use his size and strength to control position, and look for a win via ground and pound.

In the end i am not sure Randy at 45 can overcome the speed and power Brock brings. Yet if Randy can get the big guy into the later rounds where he may not have the gas to go, who knows.

8. Damn, i was so right!
Randy did well for someone his age. My proposed scenario is pretty much what happened. Randy tried to use his wrestling to dirty box, and clinch to wear Brock down, also tried using foot work to be elusive. The previous actions were of no avail due to Brock's size and speed. Brock's speed and power won over with a quick, hard punch to the side of the head, followed by my chosen path to victory for Brock of ground and pound.

5. Lesnar should lose because he has the most douchebag tattoo in the history of the world
I'll be rooting for Randy all the way.

Fucking can't stand Brock Lesnar and I hope Randy rips off one of his limbs.

6. That is a bad tattoo.
Though as far as former wrestlers go, Golberg probably had the worst.

7. If Randy can get him off his feet
he'll probably win. I hope he does.
