Of course there is a possibility of a reversal from mount, but I think what would be an ideal strategy for lesnar is, rather than a rear naked choke, to work on some sort of a neck crank choke. His power could put out quite a few opponents in that position, and he doesn't need an ideal arm position to twist someone's head until the blood is cut off. Now if I was advising Couture, which I would doubt would even be necessary, I would be hard pressed to work on rotating out of the way, kicking for the lower body, and repeating. If he could score enough kicks, he would rack up points, and also slow down Lesnar's charge. However, even slowed, Lesnar will be a faster heavyweight than any Randy has ever fought, so it might still not work. But, if he can get Lesnar a bit wobbly, he might have a chance to dirty box him. But with the size of Lesnar's head, I suspect he will not be able to KO him. In the end, I think it will be a situation of Lesnar grabbing Couture, who will fight to control him, and he will slam him to the ground. Further, I really think Couture's attempt to keep the fight standing might end in a full slam and KO of Randy....watch for it.

I'll become the Brock Lesnar of sports journalism, seemingly unqualified but brutally good at it! I think you guys should let me in on one of these duels.
