Mike, you just wrote about three thousand words on UFC, and we have, on multiple occasions, discussed that the results of a UFC match can be summed up in one of two ways, each less that twenty five words, and all you have to do is drop the participants' names into the blanks. And this wouldn't bother me so much if you hadn't guilt tripped me into not having come to the site since you posted the what is the play entry.

Everything I've seen from Minotauro on The Ultimate Fighter leads me to believe he is a great guy. However -- even if what you say about Randy is true -- his comeback and force of will in combat sports are inspiring (to me at least). Hi spg,

Thanks for the post.

However — even if what you say about Randy is true — his comeback and force of will in combat sports are inspiring (to me at least).

I'd recommend becoming a Minotauto fan. He is, for real, everything that you (and lots of UFC fans) want Randy to be.

Given that it is good for that much leverage, I totally agree that he had the open. What about before that though? I feel like Randy had to be going on a sort of attrition with value plan with his superior stamina, but but that seems a bit weak. What his strategy was for the fight wasn't made too clear, but I don't seem much of one for him. Also, phases seem pretty contrary to the spirit of UFC. Probably thinking too hard. Lastly, reading Mike writing about Randy makes me think it's Randy Buehler. That would be <strong> way </strong> more exciting than the Berlin Top 8 was.

I think that Randy had the open for Stage Three. Literally the OPEN -- the cut on Brock's right eye -- remember when Randy lost his own title at Super Natural it was due to a cut on the eyelid. I think if he hadn't gotten clobbered with that one punch, he would have tactically opened Brock up and forced a fight stoppage. Wouldn't that have been some kind of story?

It just felt like so much to go right for Randy to pull it out. Brock is so fast and so big...as we saw, any slip up from Couture could basically be game over. He foiled the take down, but ultimately didn't have the tools to mount a real offense. No phase 3? I was really hoping Randy would win, but I didn’t think it would happen.

I came away from that fight a Randy fan though, he was a class act. I was rooting for Brock because i've been a WWE fan of eight years, and a UFC fan of four months. I'm really looking forward to seeing the direction from here, especially after the Lesnar vs Nog/Mir fight, and even down the weight scale, as i'm always keen to see where Florian goes to next (talking about after the obv title fight).

Used to be a UFC fan when it first started but had drifted away, spending money on MtG cards instead of UFC cards. I am a huge Brock fan though. I never watched him in the WWF or whatever entertainment wrestling association he was involved with but I am from Minnesota and watched him dismantle other All-American wrestlers with his quickness (for how big he is). There were many matches during the season where opponents would not even get on the mat with him. Young "invincible" 22 yr-olds would forfeit the match. A match where Brock couldn't do 90% of the stuff he does in UFC and he would still hurt these world class athletes. He lost his jr. year 2-1 in the NCAA championship match and won it his sr. year. He also tried out for the Minnesota Vikings but because of a bum knee and his probable relegation to the practice squad (he did show potential) he decided to go to Japan? To start MMA training (couldn't compete in the USA because of contract obligations to the WWF? for a couple years.) He is an occasional guest on a local sports radio show and has been nothing but a super competitive, ultra MN nice, fun type of guy. Congrats to Brock (though he would not have beaten Randy in his prime) Thanks for the up to date analysis.

I think if he had not dropped Randy, Randy would have found a way to exploit the eye cut. I think that would have been a great story. Then again I was cheering for Captain America, not The Next Big Thing. It looked to me like Brock hit Randy in the back of the neck on the important strike.
