what is the probability that randy goes 0-4

He's not some UFC noob they aren't going to try and give him build up fights, they will all be very tough fighters I see it going something like this

Tim Sylvia
Tito Ortiz
Cro-cop?
Rampage?
Forrest?

I love Randy just as much as anyone and I don't ever want to see him lose but what are the chances?
I know he and forrest trained together so they might not fight. But he has also trained with tim sylvia so...

Yes I know that's 5 fighters.

Man I don't know if Randy should be coming back. Take a look at Sakuraba. Sakuraba is a legend but he is really old now and his timing is off. I wish he Sak would retire. I hate to see Sak take that punishment and I would hate for Randy to fall into the same trap. He may get some wins but he is 40 plus. Age does make a difference. He will not be able to recover like he did in his prime. This isnt Randy bashing its just that I hate to see legends come back into the ring and look nothing like their old selves.

I really hope I am wrong and I hope that Randy comes back and dominates but you know how life is. The bad guy always wins.

I would say pretty slim, I doubt he'll finish the contract if he starts 0-3.

If Couture and Ortiz fought again, the fight would be similar to the first fight. Couture might be older, but he's a bigger, stronger, better version of Ortiz. Couture breaks people's spirits in there (Ortiz, Belfort are good examples of this).

I don't even think he is going to fight all 4 fights on his contract before retiring again. Depending on the outcome of the Sylvia fight, if he wins, he'll probably end up fighting Mirko next, and most likely lose and retire again. If he can keep winning, then he'll probably finish out his contract and retire as champion, going out on top. Despite what a lot of people say, I think he has a good shot at beating Tim. I think he'll win against Tim then lose his next fight and retire again.

If he fights Mirko he will be badly injured. Mirko will not be taken down and Randy will be too slow to defend K1 striking

Randy wants to break new ground and be the first guy in MMA that led us all to say, "He should never have un-retired."

I doubt he'll go 0-4. If he loses the UFC will probably feed him someone he should beat to get a win and maybe build himelf back up for one more title shot or at least one more major payday ppv.

Most likely..

He's the US Sakuraba in that regard. They are going to work him for as long as they can and his will to fight will keep him in it.


4 fights at his age...I wouldn't be surprised if he only cashed in two of those fights or three of them and retired giving the UFC again that hold on him so he couldn't jump to anyone else.
