Randy Couture talks about a potential rematch with Brock Lesnar

When Randy Couture put his UFC heavyweight title on the line against Brock Lesnar at UFC 91, he was praised for doing better than anyone had before him, even bloodying the huge star. So what would he do differently if he fought him again?

Speaking in an interview following Brock’s fight against Frank Mir at UFC 100, Randy reflects on the possibility of a rematch.

“I am certainly capable of beating Brock, but it isn't going to be easy for anyone to beat him. He surprised me standing in our fight. I didn't judge his range and his speed of punch correctly and that's my failing. I would have to be smarter with the stand up, and make some adjustments to my timing, but I feel I can beat him standing up.”

“I also believe the winner of my fight with Nogueira [at UFC 102] should get the title shot against Brock. The winner of that should be the No.1 contender.”

It was initially stated that the winner of Randy Couture’s fight with Nogueira at UFC 102 would get the next crack at Brock, however recent quotes have suggested that it will fall to the winner of the Velasquez vs Carwin match. We will keep you posted on any developments as they happen.
