Randy Couture weighs in on DC vs Stipe Miocic.

[KazDibiase]

“Obviously, I think Daniel started in the heavyweight division, he’s a big guy, he’s got a great wrestling pedigree and he’s facing arguably the best heavyweight out there right now in Stipe Miocic. It’s going to be an interesting, technical fight. I think if Daniel can find a way to make Stipe Miocic wrestle him as much as possible during the course of that fight, it’s going to be a good night for him. If Stipe uses his range and striking IQ to keep Daniel off of him, it could be a good night for Stipe. It’s one of those fights, toss a coin, who’s going to win. I’m a wrestler, so I tend to feel like that wrestling pedigree is going to work well for Daniel. But Stipe’s one of the toughest guys out there. He’s a great fighter.”

I wish Randy would beat both their asses

Loses bad to both..

 

[markys00]

theyre both from wrestling backgrounds, and with the size difference, i think stipes striking will be too much

 

[hugemmafan22]

Randy is probably the most cerebral and technical fighter ever. I always thought back when there was talks of him and Fedor fighting Couture would come up with a gamelan to shut him down. Coutures fight iq and technique would have befuddled Fedor.

 

[Starkist]

I'm going with stipe he proved he has gas tank to go 5 rounds of good paced action. Close decision to stipe 49-46 or 48-47

Yep. Like the foolproof gameplan he said he had for Machida.

 

[Megatronlee]

Yep. Like the foolproof gameplan he said he had for Machida.

He was too slow by then

 

[SoSoSmart]

With what? His whole career was all about outwrestling you. He has virtually no chance of doing that against either of those men. Daniel in particular would toss him around like a ragdoll. He has no stand up. Brock could barely throw a punch but because the fight stayed standing thanks to Randy not being able to get the takedown he was able to find an opening.

 

[Fight Professor]

Yep. Like the foolproof gameplan he said he had for Machida.

Or Barnett

 

[sapporo ichiban]

Randy is a class act. fucking legend.

 

[Dirge]

Or Barnett

Hmm funny I seem to recall Barnett being juiced to the gills for that fight, and exiting the UFC as a result

They were going to overturn Randy's loss because of the steroids but he refused because he felt he lost irrespective of Barnett cheating


Randy is the fucking man. .

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

# RESPECT!!! So Pumped for this fight. Cormier is legit at Heavyweight... Stipe has been unstoppable. Hoping they Bang!!!
