Um, no prediction. When it came pick 'em time, Good Ol' JR
couldn't quite commit. WWE Hall of Famer
Jim Ross wrote in his blog ( CLICK
HERE ) about the
Lesnar vs Couture fight, but he just couldn't seem to draw a
conclusion as to which man will win the fight.
JR writes:
The talking has almost ended regarding the
upcoming Lesnar-Couture UFC PPV fight this weekend from Vegas.
This fight will be nice promotion for amateur wrestling, both Couture and
Lesnar are former NCAA Champions, which can definitely use the marketing
boost plus will provide some MMA purists, an oxymoron if I ever heard
one, and die hard amateur wrestling fans an extended forum to knock pro
wrestling which is akin to comparing apples to oranges. Pro
wrestling is entertainment with physicality while MMA is a
pure, physical sport that is entertaining to many of us. I remain a
slight Lesnar "lean" especially in light of this week's news items
regarding Couture's most recent legal issues which seem to be potentially
distracting. I also read where some in the amateur wrestling world look at
amateur wrestlers going into the pros as "selling out" which is
magnificently ignorant. I suggest that the great Dan Hodge never sold out as he
had a family to feed and pro wrestling helped with that task quite nicely back
in the day. BTW, amateur wrestling's top award , their Heisman Trophy,
is the Dan Hodge Award so obviously all amateur wrestling aficionados
don't throw their own under the bus for migrating to pro wrestling to earn
more money than they might in another vocation.
Can Couture avoid an overabundance of Lesnar's
physical takedown's Saturday night? Will Brock be able to avoid Randy's
effective strikes? Can Couture exploit the smallest Lesnar mistake and
turn it in to a tap out win? Will Couture be able to deal with Lesnar's
significant weight advantage which will be likely in excess of 50 well
conditioned pounds over 5, five minute rounds? Will this fight even go the
scheduled 5 rounds? Lots of questions with the answers will be provided in a few
hours. Even if I was in Vegas I would be hard pressed to put down
any serious cash on this one that has too many unanswered questions for me to
invest in a serious way.
