In that RINGS tournament or around that time maybe, Valentijn did it.I think Fedor would’ve subbed Handy.
Barnett TKO’d Randy a couple of fights later. Fedor would have more than likely finished him.In that RINGS tournament or around that time maybe, Valentijn did it.
Later in Randy's career, not so sure. Valentijn was the last to do it.
Not comparing Valentijn to Fedor by any means, just saying Randy obviously wasn't easy to submit later on. Fedor prob had a better chance of KOing him.
That was kinda my whole point. Bit of a redundant reply here.Barnett TKO’d Randy a couple of fights later. Fedor would have more than likely finished him.
Yeah, I meant around that time. I see your point.In that RINGS tournament or around that time maybe, Valentijn did it.

That's why Fedor was merciless in the rematch against TK. He was robbed of even higher greatness.If Fedor hadn't gotten cut by an illegal strike from TK in rings he would've ended up fighting Randy Couture and then big Nog all in the same tournament.
I want to see that simulation
Fedor and Randy trained together in Los Angeles when Randy was trying to fight him. After that, Randy stopped trying to fight him. The pics used to be easy to find online, but now they're almost impossible.
Agreed. Handy's sub defense was not elite at the time, and also Randy's the king of using the cage to his advantage, so fighting in a ring nerfs one of his best tactics.I think Fedor would’ve subbed Handy.
ahahaha that's amazing![]()
I don't have the pics, but do have this one of his sweater
Oh man, I forgot about that but you're right! I remember seeing those pics and there were many threads about it.Fedor and Randy trained together in Los Angeles when Randy was trying to fight him.

Yes I seen those pictures, but its not training together that made Randy stop trying. Randy never was afraid to fight nobody.Fedor and Randy trained together in Los Angeles when Randy was trying to fight him. After that, Randy stopped trying to fight him.

Yeah, I hope they're not lost to time.Oh man, I forgot about that but you're right! I remember seeing those pics and there were many threads about it.
Randy must have used his Captain America connections to have shield scrub those pics from the Internet.
Yeah, he walked out to fight Fedor and after they got together he started doing everything differently with his contract dispute.Yes I seen those pictures, but its not training together that made Randy stop trying. Randy never was afraid to fight nobody.
He just had legal issues with the UFC. He walked out on them while still under contract and they wasnt havin that shit.
Yep. Unlike the Hammer House wrestlers (Coleman, Randleman, etc.), Randy really worked on his weakness in submission defense. Even in his mid-40s he was able to defend in some very dicey situations against Big Nog.In that RINGS tournament or around that time maybe, Valentijn did it.
