Both men are <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">accomplished athletes<\/span> with <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">extensive wrestling skills<\/span>. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture<\/span> is the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">more experienced<\/span> octagon fighter, but he will give away over a decade and about 50 pounds. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Lesnar<\/span> is <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">younger, faster, bigger and stronger<\/span>, but doesn&#8217;t have anywhere near the experience of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">This is a tough one to call. I&#8217;d love to see<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> Couture<\/span> pull out a win &#8212; it would be the capper to a great career. Although, if <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture<\/span> beats <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Lesnar<\/span>, he&#8217;d probably come back for at least another fight or two. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture<\/span> has a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">nearly perfect win streak<\/span> every time he has gone into a fight as an underdog &#8212; and he is the dog in this fight. Most folks just don&#8217;t see how <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture <\/span>can overcome <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Lesnar&#8217;s size, strength and punches<\/span> from fists the size of cinder blocks. Of course if everyone could see how <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Couture<\/span> was going to win, he wouldn&#8217;t be the underdog. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 100%;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">I look forward to reading <a style=\"color: #cc0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/rafaelkayanan.blogspot.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Raf&#8217;s predictions<\/span><\/a> for the fight.
