couture vs. liddell

[Francis]

Watched the fight last night.

Randy KO'd in the first round. Got caught by a right that snapped his head so hard to the right It's a wonder his head didn't spin 180 degrees backwards.

Bummer, I really like Randy. I think he fought the wrong strategy; going toe to toe against Chuck (who I also like) is -EV. He should have used his better ground skills to ground and pound Chuck.

We'll see in Randy vs. Chuck III

i still don't know why people keep saying this, randy went toe to toe with chuck the first time and outboxed him by a very wide margin. i do agree it is the most dangerous and the safer method would be to use his clinch skills to both keep him close to you (so he can't throw those haymakers) and to get him on the ground.

but to say that you can't believe he went toe to toe kind of baffles me. if i go toe to toe with someone and beat the [censored] out of them then the next time i am not really going to be nervous going toe to toe again.

Fight of the night for me was Hughes v. Trigg. Hughes showed some amazing heart after being hit in the nuts. Dude is an animal.
