I would actually love to see Coleman vs Couture!

This is partly true
The only difference is that Randy has adjusted his style and come up with game plans that allow him to enforce his strengths during the fight.
Mark Coleman has not..
Randy's skill, stamina, strength, etc has continued to grow.
Coleman's has not.
Most fighters do not completely change their fighting style. Most of the time, they create good defenses to having their will imposed on so that they can do their thing (covering up holes).
Randy has improved his game, Coleman never really did.
So what you are saying is kind of right, but only in a certain way.
