Sherdog.com polled an extensive list of fighters and trainers to see who they thought would win tonight’s main event bout superfight between Randy Couture and Brock Lesnar.
Nate Marquardt: “Tough call. If it was just after Couture fought [Tim] Sylvia, Couture 80 percent. Now I say 60/40 Couture. Couture has the experience and skills to win. Lesnar has the size and power to win. Will Couture have the speed, strength and stamina considering his long layoff and age? Lesnar has one-punch KO power, and, with his college wrestling, has a decent chance of beating anyone in front of him. It’s a gamble, but I say Couture by decision.”
Chris Lytle: “I see no way Randy can win. He’s too old, too small and [had] too long of a layoff. Lesnar is too massive, athletic and younger. That being said, I think Randy wins.”
It’s worth noting that out of 34 total fighters who responded to the poll, 28 of them picked Randy Couture to beat Brock Lesnar.
