Randy Couture vs Lyoto Machida

Jordan23 · 01-02-11, 02:35 AM

This is going to be very ugly for Handy!

THE_LOCKSMITH · 01-02-11, 02:41 AM

well Chcuk Liddell just retired, Little Nog will end Tito's UFc career, and Machida will end Randys so the old UFC guard will be gone

Jordan23 · 01-02-11, 02:43 AM

I'm just hoping and praying I got a decent line on Machida. 1000 units! lol

Poppa Catfish · 01-02-11, 02:50 AM

April Fools?

I don't understand this fight. It doesn't even sound entertaining, competitive, healthy even.

JuicedUp · 01-02-11, 02:52 AM

What's the line? Machida -250ish???

Forgot to add your left nut?

Can't forget that!

Poppa Catfish · 01-02-11, 03:06 AM

I would warn you about betting both of your nuts, Randy wins decisions that he has no business taking. Fans and Judges love Captain America, and very recently judges have shown a disdain for the Dragon.

This seems like a decent one nut bet though

Jordan23 · 01-02-11, 03:11 AM

I have no doubt we'll be playing checkers on Machida's back but I think this fight is made for Machida to win.

sportsfanatic · 01-02-11, 03:29 AM

this fight makes NO sense. Randy is taking a HUGE leap up on competition. Machida's got great takedown defense too.

jin2daj · 01-02-11, 03:59 AM

hmm. can randy win with wall n stall?

99Boxster · 01-02-11, 09:35 AM

Back up the MONEY TRUCK! Machida/Lil Nog parlay

JuicedUp · 01-02-11, 02:04 PM

I guess this fight is not a done deal yet...

Make the fight happen!

HandyCaptain · 01-02-11, 11:05 PM

Only way Randy will ever leave. Like Favre, knocked out

Poppa Catfish · 01-02-11, 11:22 PM

I don't really want to see this fight, hope they find something else for Machida

playa420 · 01-03-11, 01:08 AM

randys outta his damn mind, machida will pick him apart easy

Pabinator · 01-03-11, 01:45 AM

I cant see how Randy could win this.

We might see a high octaine offensive machine in Machida for this fight.

I see no reason for Machida to be elusive in this fight. Randy isn't exactly known for his one punch knockout power.. especially at this point in his career. I think Randy should just try to clinch as quickly as possible. I'm sure Randy will have a top notch game plan. But realistically that can only get you so far when you're pushing 48. Either way war Randy! Still putting all my money on Machida though!

yurnero · 01-03-11, 01:58 AM

randy has been doing those workouts he promotes on TV, the animal! the wild thing! etc etc. you better watch out!

Chairib · 01-03-11, 03:37 AM

I thought Randy retired already.

GreatUnrest · 01-03-11, 04:15 AM

this would open at machida between -350 and -400

GreatUnrest · 01-03-11, 04:16 AM

and i much prefer it to the sometimes talked about couture/shogun. that would be murder.

sirchadwick1 · 01-03-11, 07:59 AM

Randy needs to fight Tito, Franklin or Forrest.... then retire. Machida would beat his ass on his worst day.

Vaughany · 01-03-11, 10:13 AM

What makes it even worse for Randy is that Machida is coming off two losses and so is in a must win situation! Plus he's gonna be pissed as hell after the Rampage decision controversy. So its not even like Randy can hope that Machida comes in under prepared or complacent!

snake11eyes · 01-03-11, 11:03 AM

Not sure if the odds will be this high, but i'll take a shot on randy at +250, but I'm really interested in randy by decision at +400 or more. This won't be a complete whitewash that everyone thinks.

I think Franklin or Forrest would beat him easily also. His best bet woulda been another Tito fight. Or bring Kimbo Slice back

They're planning on making this the co-main event for the biggest event in UFC history? Hope they'll be putting on a few more good fights on the main event

omalley21 · 01-03-11, 08:49 PM

Would you really be that shocked if Randy grinds out a decision. I wouldnt.

Kaladarus · 01-03-11, 09:32 PM

Even though it's unlikely it would be kind of funny if Couture won and Machida got kicked out of the UFC after having the title less than a year ago.

Welcome to the Machida era!

Jordan23 · 01-03-11, 11:03 PM

If Randy can close this distance.. and trust me it's a big IF at this point in his career.. I still think Randy could put Machida against the cage but the question is for how long? And could he do it for 3 rounds? I don't think so. I really like Machida in this fight.
