Who would win in a fight?


If he passes his post fight drug test, fine. If he is naturally the size of 2 regular men, fine. But to count Lesnar within the same weight class as Randy Couture is far and beyond the most insane thing I have ever heard. The UFC has, since it's rebranding, refers to itself as a pioneer of true organized Mixed Martial Arts. The organization faced it's first fully public oversight on Saturday November 15. Randy Couture came into the heavyweight championship fight a suspected 65 pounds lighter than Lesnar. Every division has a very tight weight range. but past heavyweight there is nothing... There should be a new class, an unlimited or superheavyweight. Because "dump truck" here should not be fighting in the same ring as Couture. (I was wondering if Lesnar had a nickname like the rest, I couldn't find one, so he's now Brock "Dump Truck" Lesnar)

It all reminds me way too much of Kimbo, and I am not seeing the same kind of outlashing from fans. Elite XC's decision to put a money maker to the top of the pile because of other organization celebrity over the sport's legitimate contenders was scorned across the sports world. Those matches were called a farce, and just above a circus sideshow. There are legitimate fighters who may now never have the chance to test themselves against the legend Couture because, as joe rogan called him "This barely human freak" has just become the belt holding champion of the UFC heavyweight division.

The purpose of division in the sport originally was to bring credibility. As long as a wrestler-turned-wrestling actor(wwe)-turned-heavyweight holds the belt the Heavyweight bouts within the UFC will be nothing but a money making farce.

Thank you Dana for kicking the UFC back 10 years.
