Who's giving Randy a chance??
THis subject has prolly ben overplayed but i havent ben around so inlighten me. I love Randy, but the reason why he left HW was cuz he was undersized. Now he's s 43 or 44 and taking on the biggest guy he 's ever faced. Why wouldn't he take a warmup fight atleast? Ya i know he ain't gettin any younger and all that but shit, the UFC just made their HW division alot deeper with Cop signing alone. Do they not have someone to throw Tim in the mean time ala anohter Gan?

Oh for sure man! I will never doubt that guy! IT would be the greatest moment in MMA histor to date, if Randy pulls it off. But that long jab of Tim might be the diference when Randy shoots in throughout the fight. If he can get big Tim on his back by the second I will call it right now Randy wins either by tko or dec. |

from what i hear, Randy looks terrible right now as a HW. I know people that train at his gym, and apparently he doens't look as fit as he did in LHW.
regardless of that, Randy can defeat Tim but it's not gonna be a walk in the park. The height/reach advantage will be Randys biggest problem.

i give randy a chance...i watched his fight with barnett the other day,and this was when barnett was roided up...randy did great the first round. busted his ass for a takedown but still got it.....thing is, randy hasnt done too well when hes on the bottom getting pounded...he was beating ricco and then ricco got dominant positon and caught randy with an elbow that broke his eye socket..in the barnett fight barnett managed to get top position and just started pounding...tims bigger then both of those guys..if he gets on top of randy then i dunno...im pulling for randy cuz i cant stand tim and this fight has Rocky Balboa written all over it

I'm pulling for Randy, the size advantage is daunting, but I believe in Randy's cause. Wearing down the big man for 5 rounds, getting successful shoots, slams, and inside leg kicks.
Finding the courage to face Tim out of retirement will be a testament to Randy's warrior spirit. Being champion will make all our hearts glow.

YA but after seeing Monson try that it didnt work out too well on Tim, and Randy has took two pretty big KO's to Chuck and I dont think hes gonna have the reaction time that he did once against a guy like Rizzo. Like i said i love Randy and hope he pulls it off but theat reach is gonna cause problems |
