Okay, at first I know it sounds retarded and one-sided...but if you look at Kevin Randallman getting on the inside of CC's kicks and utilizing the takedown, what do you think the possibility of COuture utilizing the same strategy would be?


In any case, what do you think a particularly effective strategy would be against CC?




Atop of that, looking into how the Iceman chopped down Couture, do you think that strategy of getting on the inside would be effective AT ALL?

Every fighter has a strength its the level of ability to use that strength that makes the difference, yes Couture would have a chance and i would not say he could not win that fight however i think Crocops speed would have a major influence on a 3 rounder in a championship fight well who knows?
I would imagine Couture looking to feint and get in quick and for Crocop to kick the hell out of Coutures legs, i feel that the leg kick against Couture is the most effective initial strike that would benefit anyone that fights him and lets say this Cro Cop can kick.

I think Cro Cop probably learned a hard lesson from the first Randleman fight, and I doubt he would make the same mistake, even against a more creative fighter like Randy.
Besides, Randleman's win looks pretty flukey in hindsight, given the way Cro Cop subbed him so fast in the rematch and in light of both fighters' records since then.
I'd have to go with Mirko over Randy in this one. Randy might stand a chance if he is as aggressive as Fedor was, but more likely he'll be forced to chase Mirko and get knocked out for his troubles.

this is how it would end,
in the fourth minute of the second round.
"randy, randy wake up man, you just got KTFO."


The big difference between the randleman cro cop 1 and coutoure fighting is that randleman was a machine, in amazing shape, much younger and stronger. Coutoure with all respect was an amazing fighter, but he is way past his time, and i feel bad for him because he is gunna go out like shamrock. he is gunna lose to tim (i think tim's gunna have a good fight,and perform for the first time in awhile) and he is gunna get beheaded if he fights cro cop.

Randleman hit Mirko with an awesome punch. That's what got Mirko down. Randy would not be able to take Mirko down. Mirko has the best take down defense in the game. And, Randy would not be able to stand with him. Yeah, no shit.



there ya go. case closed.

Every one can win every one. But the question is, how big are the chances to win? Randleman is not really a competitor for CC, but Randleman take the chance. CC is alone guilty for the match result. At this time, CC was very active in politic and makes a crap movie. You can't bee concentrated on three things at the same time, and you can't bee good in three so non similar things.

But I thing CC has learned some things.

ok....?

Cro Cop didn't respect randleman, no excuses should be made for his work outside his fighting, none of that should matter once he is in the ring. His job is to fight, and he even admits to not respecting randleman, and what happened to him is proof of what will happen when you don't respect the other persons skills. Randleman may not have the best stand up but you can't count out that he doesnt have punch or power, and cro cop got careless.

In the really real world I dont think that Randy has a realistic chance. If Randy was 10 years younger it would be a great battle. Randy has some things going for him, I dont think that Cro Cop could kick as freely as he would want to because it would leave him open to take downs, I think that Cro Cops TD defence is well above average, I do not think that it is the best in the game, or he would have been able to beat Fedor. Pride just does not have that great of wrestlers to test Mirko's take down defence, also once Mirko is down he has difficulty standing back up.

However I just think that Cro Cop has more power, and Randy is just to old to make it a real great fight. Randy is much better at 205 than at HWT, but everybody knows he does not have chance against Chuck so he is fighting in HWT because he has a chance of beating Tim.
