i think ur right brad.
but some fighters including randy have it in their
blood and instinct,and dont know how to to stop fighting.
he'll proberbly be 70 in a zima frame and still be fighting!!
you'd have to chain him to the changing room,…

Dana white is a goof,”Randy has done enough for the UFC”. Randy better train hard! I do believe it Could be a good fight if Randy has anything left n the tank!??

You make a lot of good points and raise a very interesting question…What makes a great Main Event?

I just read this article yesterday that unfortunately I saved on my home computer and so I don't have access to it now, but it was really good and the one thing that the author was stating was that MMA seems to have this trend of matching up fights based on popularity rather than who is the most deserving. It was his feeling that MMA would be doing more damage than good in its efforts to grow in popularity as a result.

He compared MMA to all other popular sports and he's certainly on to something I think.

For now, for me, it's no different than WWE – I want to be entertained – which is why I like this match-up and I like the idea of future potential match-ups with the likes of Machida and Rua.

If we can't see the best vs the best anyhow (Fedor vs Brock as an example), than we might as well enjoy what we do have – interesting characters battling it out for our entertainment and amusement.

Dos Santos, as much as I like him, is not a main event fighter (especially not Gonzaga) and I would not rank either of them higher than Couture or Coleman at the moment. The main event is about who's going to bring in the highest ratings.

I genuinely believe, as stated in my article, that this fight is going to be good, but I guess we'll have to wait and see about that Clearly one of us is going to be proven wrong LOL

Cheers LF, thanks.
