RampagE_AttacK Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Could Randy climb through the LHW rankings and win the title again at 47 (the age he will be at least if it is so) ? I think so he still looks awesome and has great cardio. Captain America also defires age.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claxp94 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 If Machida was still champion I would say yes. Even if Rashad was champion I would say yes. Against Shogun I don't know, but I wouldn't bet against Couture, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakergod Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Lol ! I have nothing against the guy he's went through battle after battle and I have alot respect for him, but to think for a second he has a chance at a title again is a joke!! Even his Tower 2000 wont help him get back on top! Big Nog dropped him and made him look slow and Nog is slow himself! then Vera out-struck him and I thought vera won the fight!! and Bones Jones tore Vera a new one in one round!! No way!! He will whoop toney but after that its not gonna look good for him sorry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crakt Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I just can't see it happening! I think Shogun, rampage, rashad, machida and maybe one or two others are too much for randy now! Randy doesn't have the power in his hands and the level of stand up to hurt any of these guys, and if he can't press them against the cage or take them down then he will be taken out easily on the feet, which is what I see happening with any one of them!

SlurSlammer Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Im a Huge Randy Couture fan but his mediacore rise in the LHW division doesnt having me crossing my fingers that the Natural will get that 6th title. but he will get an undeserved title shot .... give him a contender dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crakt Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I think it's pretty clear his days are done or atleast in my opinion! I was not impressed by him one bit in the Vera and Coleman fights! Brandon dropped Randy with a body kick and did more than enough to win that fight, and in the coleman fight mark rocked randy standing making randy back peddal before coleman gassed! These are not good signs for the Natural! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randizzle_KO Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I never count randy out. i know he will be able to come up with the BEST gameplans to defeat anyone holding the title.. but its hard to say if he will actually succeed and actually beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crakt Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 He deserves a title shot no less than Shogun did when he got his. Depends on how you look at things on the whole! There are many factors involved! There was no challenger for Machida at the time and Shogun had just beaten two HOF fighters by tko, so they offered him the shot and oviously he was ready for it! Now there are a few worthy challengers around at the moment! Randy has fought Brandon Vera and Mark Coleman also! The Vera fight was controversial in manys eyes! Next if he fights Tony who is nowhere in the rankings and wins should he get put a head of others for a title shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr806 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 if he loses to toney which is highly doubtful then IMO he should never get a title shot again....that being said i would like to see how he matches up against bones jones, lil nog, or forrest griffin. griffin vs. couture would have some huge ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
