Is it just me, or is there a UFC main event every couple weeks or so? On Saturday night we will be up to UFC 91. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not tiring of it whatsoever. I’m also a fan of baseball with their one trillion game season. What will turn me off though, is the rising price of the pay-per-views. I’ve got my eye on you Dana White. Watch your step son.
Brock Lesnar -140
Randy Couture +120
Man this one is harder than my liver on the weekends. As of right now I have no clue who I am taking. Let’s see if I can talk myself into somebody.
Lesnar does not have a nickname, but I suggest he goes with “Mass”. The guy is just a beast. At an imposing 6’3” 265 lbs, he outweighs his opponent by 45 lbs. As evidenced in his unanimous decision win over Heath Herring, Lesnar can just impose his mass upon you. It doesn’t make for an exciting fight, but if he decides to fat out on top of you, you’re probably not going anywhere. Of course that’s if he doesn’t connect right away and send you into the fifth row seats. For the record, Heath Ledger probably would’ve put up more of a fight than Heath Herring did. And yes, I mean the current day version of Ledger. What a horrible match.
At 45 years, Couture is 14 years Lesnar’s elder. What he lacks in youth, he absolutely gains in experience over his newbie opponent. Many many moons ago, Randy himself was an experienced wrestler breaking into the world of MMA. If he can avoid a face-breaking swing, he will know Lesnar’s weaknesses and break him down.
Besides strength and youth, you can add rustiness to Couture’s suspect list. This is his first fight back from his sudden retirement which last saw him in the octagon in August of 07. Randy used that time to film ‘The Scorpion King 2’. He played a character named Sargon and had magical cauliflower ears. I won’t be seeing that movie.
After taking all things into account, I’m going with Couture. You just don’t bet against a champion. I think he will find a weakness in Lesnar’s game as Mir did and finish the fight. 5dimes is also offering odds on the fight going five complete rounds. No way that this happens. The odds are a little steep though (-495). Just for fun I’ll be doing Couture to win in the first round at +620, as well as to win the fight straight-up. See that? I went from having no clue to taking Couture in the first round. I’m my own financial advisor.
Kenny Florian -180
Joe Stevenson +158
Joe Stevenson was the winner of ‘The Ultimate Fighter Season 2’. As I remember him though, he was a big loser. Don’t get me wrong, the kid can fight and belongs in the UFC. But does anyone else remember his…how should I say this….There is a distasteful term for when a man has female-like breasts or nipples. I think you follow me. I remember Joe “Daddy”s nipples looked like they were trying to escape. It was weird!
Florian is the ultimate Boston tough guy. A very unassuming figure who will absolutely destroy you. He really should’ve had a role in ‘Gone Baby Gone’. This fight will go to the ground, and whether Florian is on top or bottom, he will proceed to open Stevenson up with his terrifying elbows. I don’t think red is really Stevenson’s color. I’ve missed the boat on Florian too many times. Not tonight.

Gabriel Gonzaga -400
Josh Hendricks +325
The last guy that Randy Couture wasn’t supposed to beat was Gabriel Gonzaga. That didn’t work out so well for Gabriel. Since then, he has lost to Fabricio Werdum and beaten Justin McCully. I’m going to post a picture of McCully aka The Insane 1. If nothing else I write makes you laugh, I hope that this clown’s picture, or nickname, puts a smile on your face.
Josh Hendricks finds himself in his first UFC fight. That’s not what scares me. He lists his hero as his Grandfather Hendricks. I just hope he’s not alive to watch Josh get smacked around like an unexpected trick-or-treater. Gonzaga to win easily.
Demian Maia -235
Nate Quarry +195
You didn’t really think that I would go a whole article without mentioning the UFC pink hamster phenomenon did you?? Or as another friend has referred to them this week as the Ginger Kids!
Demeian Maia has choked out three straight opponents. The last two were Ed Herman and pink hamster extraordinaire Jason MacDonald. Maia is attempting to single-handedly put an end to the phenomenon.
I love you pink hamster
Nate Quarry is not a pink hamster at all, just a filler for the up and coming Brazilian. Add another choke out to Maia’s resume. I’m due for a 4-0 night. I will drink plenty of lucky beers help my chances.
