I was really against Brock Lesnar being given this title shot as frankly I don't think he deserves it. I find it disrespectful to the other heavyweights that have put their bodies on the line for Dana and have far better records and experience than Brock.
However, I think he is going to win. Couture has been out of the octagon for far too long and he is going against a far larger, faster and stronger opponent.
Randy beat Tim Sylvia and Gabriel Gonzaga by smothering them with his wrestling abilities that they just couldn't overcome. Brock is a very accomplished wrestler with very legitimate pedigree and I just don't see Randy being able to utilize that against him.
I see Brock either knocking out Randy early, or pulling a repeat of the Heath Herring fight and just smothering him and winning by decision.
People keep saying that Brock won't be able to go deep into this fight, but I don't agree. He did not look tired to me against Herring at all - granted he wasn't tested, but he has a background in both amateur and professional wrestling where cardio is very important - in the WWE (and yes I know it is fake) they have matches that run very long and are extremely athletic.
Randy's only chance I think is to catch him with a solid punch and knock him out.
I'm placing bets on Brock.
