Randy Couture Vs Mark Coleman

Randy “The Natural” Couture will square up with Mark Coleman at the primary upshot at UFC 109: Relentless. (Las Vegas,NV on Feb. 6th) Coleman would have beat Couture easy if this battle had taken place a long time ago. Nevertheless, this is 2010 and not 2006 and The Hammer has envisioned his mixed martial arts game go down. The clustered ages of both battlers will be 91 years by the time this fight rolls around. Both combatants were quite alike at the start of their careers as both made up standout collegial wrestling stars and both used their extraordinary base in wrestling to stand out in MMA.

Altho Coleman may have been the pioneer of the ground and pound this brawling style it has evolved. Couture is a three-time Olympic team alternate (1988, 1992 and 1996), a semifinalist at the 2000 Olympic Trials, a three-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division-I All-American and a two-time NCAA Division-I second best. Coleman wrestled for Miami University, in Ohio, where he was a two time Mid-American Conference wrestling ace and NCAA title. Coleman was presented a spot on the US Wrestling team, basing seventh overall in the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Both have their own facilities but Couture’s Xtreme Couture is a total MMA club where high-ranking training talent convoke while Coleman operates the Hammer House out of Columbus. Xtreme Coulture and Team Hammer House are perfect illustrations of who Couture and Coleman are as fighters today. Couture has acquired a assortment of skills in addition to his wrestling-boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The aged he gets, the bigger his skill base and the better he becomes. Woefully the same can’t be said for Coleman. But then again who knows in this sport, right?

Striking is as well another exciting area of comparability between these 2 fighters. Once again Couture has sought to and has bettered his striking game vastly to the extent that he can now strike with some of the best. He has stood toe to toe with Chuck Liddell and Vitor Belfort three times each, Tim Sylvia, Gabriel Gonzaga and most recently Brandon Vera. Again, it is sad to see that Coleman has not boosted his striking to any heavy degree and Couture will pick his game apart.

This fight will be an event sporting an old school against a new school combatant. Couture is now a contend fighter who has used his base in wresting to boost build upon his accomplishments. Coleman on the other hand has always relied solely upon his wresting and that is about it. When it comes to sports betting the online UFC betting lines are accurate-Couture should be a -390 or even higher.

Though Coleman could have constituted an better wrester at one time, his actual ability no longer overpowers Couture as his skills have not evolved with MMA. Coleman has been utilizing the same techniques since his university days while Couture has integrated MMA into his wrestling.

The MMA betting lines may be steep, but nevertheless worth a small play.

Coleman is is known as the “Godfather of Ground and Pound” but unfortunately that is what he is starting to look like in the octagon as well.Couture will be able to dictate this fight and win with ease. We will only be able to tell the outcome this saturday. I wish both the fighters great luck and let the better man win.
