La Belle Bianca Castafiore? Elle adore Randy Couture. Et elle a bien peur de le voir complètement d.é.t.r.u.i.t. quand il va contre cet homme incroyablement énorme et fort, Brock Lesnar, pendant UFC 91. 
Truly, it has been awhile since I have activated the MMA Prayer Tree, but this may just be the occasion for it. As much as Couture is clearly the superior fighter, how can he offset Lesnar's size, weight, and excellent speed.When Lesnar fought Frank Mir, how long do you think Mir could have held out, if he had not managed that incredible kneebar at 1:30 in the first round?
Hmmm. But that's the thing, right? He *did* manage to submit him -- and what a thing of beauty that was! He was secure and calm enough in his jui-jitsu and MMA won out over WrestleMania Hype.
Since then, though, I think Lesnar has reconsidered things and has trained very seriously, not wanting to be seen as playing at these disciplines. When he beat Heath Herring in UFC 87, it was evident that he was putting his new skills on display. One had the sense that he could have ended it rather easily at any point but that he wanted the three-rounds as a showcase opportunity, and he wanted it to go to a decision.
Randy Couture is surely among the finest to ever fight, and being in an unenviable physical matchup is nothing new for him (think Tim Silvia). We'll be rooting for him here at Marlinspike Hall, in the Tête de Hergé. He will be bringing his experience and talent to the mix. I hope that will be enough. La Belle Bianca Castafiore goes about muttering to herself; I don't think she can take much more in the way of stress.
