I have a tough time thinking it will be good enough win the fight for him though. nate, randy may not use his subs much but I can guarantee you he has better jitz than lesnar.

Randy doesnt have it. G&P winners are either very very smart or very big/fast/knockout power (or lucky). Lesnar has both, Randy has only 1 (smarts). Fedor vs Lesnar? I'd love to see it. 47 --- Fedor can create a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it. And then he lifts it anyways, just to show you who Fedor is.

See I never understood that feeling of disrespect. That's how major sports work. The big time free agent more then often gets more money then the guys already under contract with a team/organization. Especially a guy that is considered No.1 or 2 in his weight class. “of course it’s all about money. the ufc offering fedor much more money to fight couture was disrespect to couture.”

UFC should make the Fedor v. Randy fight right out of the gate and take advantage of the fact people have wanted to see this fight for a long time. This fight could attract new fans and media buzz. Lesnar could possibly upset Randy and that would kill a lot of the interest in a Fedor fight. I think Fedor v. Randy sells more than Randy v. Lesnar at this point. If Randy lost to Fedor, a fight with Lesnar and Nog is still marketable. Obviously, a fight with Nog would be the most desirable to clear up the championship picture, but he is set to face Mir.

Their superstar Brock Lesnar would have defeated the great Randy Couture and would certainly be legitimized in everyones eyes as one of the top heavyweights in the world. Even if Brock loses that fight I don't think he's hurt by it because he would just be losing to a legend in the sport who's also the heavyweight champ. Still plenty to build on there for Lesnar and the UFC. As for Couture I don't know. You could still do a Fedor fight if they could ever work out a deal, because I think fans want to see the fight regardless after all that has gone on. As for fights in the UFC for Randy if he lost, Werdum maybe, Cain Velazquez, Mir if/when he loses to Nog, then maybe Nog after a win versus someone else. It certainly wouldn't be good for Randy if he lost though. I think business wise though Randy has to do the Lesnar fight if this eventually all works out. I mean you are probably talking 600,000+ PPV buys, no other fight in the UFC right now can get him that, at least in the heavyweight division.

That doesn't happen from getting layed on. He kicked his ass is what he did. I'm not saying Lesnar deserves the title shot but that is a huge fight and if the UFC wants to make it for the title that is fine with me. I think you look at two things when giving a title shot. The marketability of the fight, and the likelyhood of the challenger to win. In this case it's a huge fight marketing wise, and Lesnar certainly has a chance to win. Did you see Herring’s face?

but what if randy lost to brock?
what would they do then?
