CHESSNOID

I think a lot of people were hoping for Randy Couture to win this fight but I just thought Brock Lesnar was too big and too strong.  Sure enough I was right.  Although, Randy did fight a great fight up until that moment.

Sherdog:

At times it looked as if Couture was on his way to executing another brilliant game plan. Lesnar, who had a roughly 50-pound weight advantage, took down the champion in the first round with a double-leg. When he tried to move into the mount, though, Couture reversed. Lesnar soon scored his own reversal, but Couture was making the big man work hard, which could have paid off had the fight gone the full five rounds.

Despite his size advantage, Lesnar, 31, was not able to keep Couture down in the first period. Couture also punched better coming out of the clinches, though Lesnar kneed hard to his body and was clearly throwing the more powerful strikes.

Early in the second round, one of those strikes landed. Lesnar stepped in with a short but massive elbow, which wobbled Couture. The 45-year-old UFC legend’s experience moved the fight against the fence, where he seemed to recover.

As the round wore on, the fighters moved around the Octagon, picking their shots. The game seemed to suit Couture, who landed a right hand that cut Lesnar’s eye. Lesnar’s power proved the great equalizer, however, as a straight right collapsed Couture to the mat.

I wonder how this will change things for the UFC future fights. We have Mir and Nogueira. Now that Randy is back in the UFC and with a loss in his first fight back, it doesn’t seem like he will ever fight Fedor. I thought he would of lost to Fedor anyways, but now that fight doesn’t look good since Brock has defeated Randy.

Hopefully, Affliction doesn’t go under in this bad economy because I like to see those other fighters fight still.
