Oh, and by the way, Randy is also a two-time LHW champion, defended his title once technically (he won the interim title by being one of the few to ever beat Chuck, and then beat Ortiz for the full title)”

This is a legend….

I think the best facts are recorded on UFC.com:

“There have been ten Heavyweight Champions crowned in the UFC. One, Randy Couture, won the title three times;
Tim Sylvia has won the belt twice.
Among the other title holders, five champions (Coleman, Bas Rutten, Josh Barnett, Ricco Rodriguez, Frank Mir) never successfully defended the belt,
with Mo Smith (1), Kevin Randleman (1), and Andrei Arlovski (2) defending their titles, but not for an extended period of time.”

Randy is indeed………….a legend in his own time.

Sylvia lost to Arlovski at UFC 61, 3 rounds to 2 he should not be champion still.

Randy will win on points by octagen control.

Light heavy weight potential matches in 6- 12 months

Tito v Evans/Bisping
Rampage v Jardine/Forrest

winner will lose to Liddel.

Cro Cop will defeat Randy and will fight Liddel at 205 to unify the belts.

If any of this happens wake me up as i do not want to miss any of it!!

I was refering to Crocop dropping to 205 not Tim. Mirko is only 218 so it wouldn’t be that difficult for him.I don’t think Tim’s jabs will be enough to keep him out of harms way. I see Crocop hammering him with leg kicks untill he either drops or lowers his defence and takes a left high kick and gets knocked out. Tim is big but Mirko landed his LHK on Fedor’s brother Aleksander who is 6’4″ and put him out.

I don’t think it will make much of a difference either. Rashad has gotten better training with Greg down in Albuquerque but he is still not good enough to fight Chuck any time soon. The fight I’m looking forward to is Herring and O’Brien. This should be a good fight. Jake is good but I think Herring has a huge experience factor that he will not be able to deal with. Rashad’s last performance was pretty good and his conditioning seems to be getting better but he is still not at the top of the light heavy food chain even in the UFC. The UFC needs to bring in guys like Arona and Rua who have a legitamate chance at beating Chuck. I still think the only one that will give him a battle is Quinton. Then theres the Silva debate all over again. I was on the UFC site and it has a question and answer session with Dana and he says he’s still trying to make this fight happen in ’07. I hope it does because every MMA fan would love to see this and put all the speculation to rest finally.
