What we haven't learned about Randy Couture was that nobody gave him a chance against Sylvia...and look where that got us. I was pretty skeptical myself that he could do it, but if you think about it what has Sylvia done in any fight that would make you think he could hang with Couture? Sylvia fought off takedowns from a 5 foot Monson...that doesn't equate to a takedown defense for Couture.
Because Randleman or Coleman couldn't use their wrestling skills against Cro Cop that means that Couture's won't work either? I don't think Randleman or Coleman had the wrestling skills that Couture has.
Let's let the guy have a fight without everyone busting his balls because of his age...it is only a number.

I think most of us feel bad because we have a lot of respect for randy and dont want to see him get knocked out by crocop, which is pretty inevitable. You gotta understand sylvia was definately the favorite but he was like a 3:2 3:1 favorite maybe, cro cop is like a 10:1 favorite over randy, anyone has a punchers chance (see randleman) but if you feel that randys skillset matches up favorably with cro cops I think you are deluding yourself.

I don't know about it being "inevitable" Coutre losing to Cro-Cop. Footwork in the cage is different from the ring, Randy has fought in the cage his whole MMA career, CC has one fight (in which he unimpressed against a tamato can). Move away from the rear leg, trap CC against the fence, he could be in trouble.
