I disagree, and I'm sure you'll find alot of those who train to fight will also disagree. Technique is the winning factor. Randy took Tim Sylvia down and outboxed one of the most dominant Heavyweights in UFC history. He won, with superior technique against a man who outweighted him by 40lbs.
Lesnar is still green. His fight record is an absolute joke. There is a HUGE difference between being a DIV 1 Wrestler, and an Olympic Wrestler. HUGE. Now, let's get past that. Greco Roman wrestling is better suited to MMA vs Free Style. Free Style Wrestling Shots can be negated by a good sprawl. Pummeling on the other hand, is a different beast in the Greco Roman world. If I'm loosing you here, look this up on google.
Lesnar will try for the single and double leg shot. Couture will negate it with the sprawl. I don't think Lesnar can stop Couture's clinch work, and that will be the deciding factor.
Technique wins fights, and with all things considered physically, the one with the superior technique will win.
That's my break down, and the great thing about MMA, is that any little factor can change a fight, and I am really looking forward to this fight, to watch Handy put Frate Trane on his ass and show him the chump that he is.
