Randy looked like he lost a step when he fought Nog, Randy has faced better strikers the Nog and was able to do a lot better but with Nog it looked like he couldnt get out of the way of what throwing at him and on the ground Nog looked stronger and slicker. i know what you guys are saying with Randy moving down being an advantage for him, but Vera did the same so i dont know if its going to be that big of an advantage. yeah ive been leaning towards Randy too, but i still dont know.

I still remember when he was like a 3:1 favorite over Tim Sylvia based purely on hype and Tim controlled the whole fight from the outside. Tim is also the only fighter both these guys have in common and we all know what Randy did to Tim. Kansas is right about fighting bigger stronger guys then moving down to smaller quicker guys. Vera doesnt have the speed to make much difference in my opinion, Randy will take him down and beat him up for a while. Randy will be too strong in the greco clinch which also prevents thai fighters from throwing knees (too close). Randy is also stronger on the ground (on top) and Veras BJJ hasnt shown to be a threat off his back. This is a 3 round affair and although i see Randy controlling the fight, age may have slowed him down and Vera is good at using BJJ to hold someone long enough for a standup. So im seeing takedowns and GnP for Randy but probably ending in a unanimous decision win due to old gas tank and holding by Vera. Im also with Randy 100%, never been much of a Vera fan.

Randys days are numbered due to his age, but this fight will be his against a very unimpressive, (as of late) fighter who is star struck by the legend of the man he is facing. Couture will control Vera with the takedown, it wont even be a contest. GNP or Decision Couture. Wait till Randy get's in that cage with the likes of Shogun, then he's gonna run into the wall the Coleman ran into only Shogun will put him away in the first or second because Shoguns cardio is better now.
