Nice post.

it's a combination of both actually. chuck got better and randy got worse. and silva would do way better than belfort cuz silva has monster cardio and more heart. in the ufc i see randy getting ko'd, in pride i see randy getting dropped and repeatedly soccer kicked in the face which would be very hard to watch if it's randy. i don't think randy would win, but i do think he'd come out of retirement for this fight.

I dont want to see Couture come back, IMO he will start to take beatings if he chooses to fight top level opponents.

Ricardo Arona took Wanderlei down at will, and Randy has already schooled Tito. He would take Silva down and keep him there.

Chuck again? Are you guys crazy?

The only way he is coming out is if he fights Wanderlie Silva. He wanted that fight, but never got it. His style would give Silva hell in the UFC. At 42 he is badly faded. But 3 years ago Silva would have taken a beating.

"circumstances have to be right" probably means a top 3 LHW (of the world) at $500,000.

I think the images of Ken Shamrock continually getting beaten down are too fresh in everyones mind. Randy would maul Shamrock. He just fought 5 UFC's ago. Randy is still one of the best out there. I was already thinking about Randy when I heard about all the UFC-Pride matches. I think he should come back and fight for the UFC. Have him fight Arona or shogun while Chuck fights Wandy. WAR RANDY!!

Nobody who is 42 is at thier prime. He dropped to lhw because he was past his prime.

he could take Ken Shamrock. His best times are behind him and I really don't want to see him get KOed again going after Bas Rutten or something stupid like that.
