Randy's record is 16-8. But if you look at the caliber of competition he has faced, his losses were all against top tier competition. It's not that he wins all the time, it's that he is able to compete at the level he competes at. Bad matchup or not, a lot of people thought Tim would dominate him. He had the size, strength, and age advantage, right? Not only did he beat Sylvia. He dominated him for 5 rounds and barely blinked an eye doing it. He totally shut him down, 50-45 on every judges card. Even Cecil Peoples. Then came Gonzaga. That was even crazier. That was like a stepfather taken his kid behind the woodshed. So Randy is way better than his actual record indicates. As far as Fedor vs Sylvia. I think it's a great matchup. Sylvia is better than a lot of people give him credit for. He had a great effort against Nog and he'll be going into this fight with maybe the highest motivation of his carreer. Fedor has not been seriously tested in a while and I think it will be a good fight. Yes. Randy’s record is 16-8.

I know I said I was in hibernation but I'm a little too high and drunk to care right now. He fought a 7 foot tall super computer and arm barred that bastard.

Randy went from being completely unranked to the number 1 heavyweight in the world in 2 fights. Must be nice. Where's Randy to fight Big Nog or AA or Werdum or even Vera? I don't care who beat whom. Styles make up a big factor in fights and Randy has faced none of them. But no, they're all below him and don't deserve to fight the great Couture huh? I always wondered why (besides Vitor and the freak incedent in their second fight) Randy never wanted to rematch the guys he lost to. Nope not Randy. Randy took his title and went home. That's worse then the spoiled kid and his ball. According to Sam’s numbers Randy didn’t get submitted three times back in the day and lose a third of his fights.

Beyond that, he's a crash test dummy. Legitimate on his feet from the outside maybe. Beyond that, he’s a crash test dummy.
