Predictions? I think Couture wins impressively.
This is a tough one considering Randy's age and layoff plus Lesnar size and athleticism advantages. Randy obviously has the edge with experience and skill though. This is a toss up for me, but I'll go with The Natural.
It's just too bad we won't see him face off against the best heavyweight(or any class?) in the world anytime soon or ever.:mad:

That would have been a classic. If Lesnar does win, perhaps he'll be the one to face Fedor Emelianenko? Time will tell.

Maybe at some point, but Fedor and UFC don't seem to be a match. However, Affliction has plenty of top heavyweights, so there's plenty of good competition for The Last Emperor over there anyway.

That's true.
This keeps getting hyped up as the biggest fight in UFC history. Any reason why? I don't see it. Couture is getting old and Lesnar is brand new. No to mention Lesnar lost to Frank Mir in his first fight. I'm hoping hes improved alot since then.

Money... expected to be the largest PPV buy in MMA history.
Couture is still an outstanding combatant, and Lesnar is formidable, but still raw. We'll see how it goes, but I imagine that Dana White is pulling for Lesnar to win impressively.

Great pick. :D
Now Lesnar will fight the winner of Nogiera/Mir to consolidate the heavyweight title.
