Great KO for Brown, now we get to see if Urijah pulls a GSP and comes back even better.
I'm really excited for the Florian vs. Stevenson match. Stevenson will probably rely on his wrestling to gain an advantage, though Florian is a BJJ black belt ( I think Joe just received his black belt as well). I don't know if Joe will try and stand with Kenny as he's losing a few inches of reach, and has to watch out about getting cut by those razor elbows. I'm going with a Florian by split decision. (Although I would love to see a Sherk vs Stevenson fight in the future)
Lesnar vs. Couture, it seems like we're always talking about Randy as an experienced underdog, due to his age and (especially in this case) size disadvantage. Brock will probably have over 30lbs on Randy, is an NCAA wrestling champ, and has those giant Christmas hams for knuckles. But Couture almost always comes with a gameplan, utilizing clinches and dirty boxing to wear out the opponent. A year of inactivity didn't effect him much against Sylvia, but this is another couple of years down the line. Morpheus and Paq have already said it, Lesnar can possibly end the fight with a big early KO. Couture can throw him off his game like he did against Sylvia. I'm hoping this goes beyond 3 rounds, as it'll show where both fighters are in their careers. I know I'm jinxing myself, but Couture by decision.
