th other thing: lesnar weighs in at 285-300 depending on what cow he ate that morning...he will 'weigh' in at 265, but that's as a wrestler cutting a ton of water weight...he's a pro at it, as is couture, but couture is generally walking around at 220 or so...
couture also has had the most trouble against the larger heavyweights which is why he went to lhw the first time. He only came out of retirement bc he thought he could beat tim sylvia...then gonzaga was a great bjj black belt who was underexperienced and mauled by the wrestling abilities...now you have lesnar as a HUGE wrestler who is fast as hell, even stronger, and getting less green as the days go by. I DOUBT lesnar will gas, i just don't think he'll know how to finish if he can't get a 1 hit KO.
i'm really excited to see GSP whoop monkey ass on BJ penn. Penn is great, don't get me wrong..but GSP just wins. I don't think cardio will play into it like people are saying (penn's weakness) but i don't see the fight going past the 2nd round, honestly.
Griffin/evans has me stoked as well...Evans has a weird record, undefeated, a couple of snoozefest lay and pray matches and at least 2 ultrahigh profile KO of the night KO of the year wins....I'm still thinking griffin wins..just bc that dude gets better..and better...and better..and better...and better...
nog vs mir..if mir brings MIR and not lazy mir, then this will be amazing...2 very high level bjj people..should be fun.
rampage/wandy III...i still don't think rampage has what it takes to beat wandy..that said, I thin a lot of the pride wandy was due to some juice juice action, which seems to be why he's not nearly as wandy as normal in the UFC....
i'm hoping hammil figures out what he was trying to do against franklin bc that was a horrible showing.
