Coutures MMA record is 16-8.
He's overrated.
This coming from soemone with a screenname of Mark Kerr (15-8 with losses to such notable fighters as Tracy Willis and Mustapha al Turk) anyway....
I would say that when examing the greatness of a fighter you have to look at more then just this persons record. You have to look at quality of competition. The facts are you have to go back to 2000 to find the last fighter Randy has faced who was not considered at the time top 5/10. If we were are just going to look at records wow you know Rashad Evans is underfeated he must be the the greatest I mean his record is 13 - 0

....
Lets take a look at some of his losses I will only go back 6 years:
Chuck Liddell 2x's (Can you name the last grappler that Chuck has not beat)
Vitor Belfort (At the time when Randy fought him Vitor was thought to be unstoppable and at that time he pretty much was)
Ricco Rodriguez (Again when Randy fought him Ricco was touted as probably one of the top 5 HW in the world)
Josh Barnett (Considered to be one of top 3 HW in the world)
Name one person who has faced competition like Randy has?
point is what has randy done in the past three years that makes anyone think he could beat fedor? who has he beaten that fedor didn't? who has he manhandled that fedor took to a decision? it hasn't happened.
the last guy randy beat, fedor did in half a minute. that's the point.
Actually I would disagree with your assumption of that being the point. You can not use MMA math to justify anything in MMA so by your logic Chuck Liddell >Tito O > W Silvia > Rampage..... Chuck destroyed Tito twice so I guess seeing Tito beat Silva Chuck will KO Wandy faster. Ok wait a minute that did not happen. Silva destroyed Rampage twice so wow I cant wait for Chuck to demolish Ramp.... Oh wait that doesn't work either. So your point was Fedor manhandled Tim and Randy took him to a decision and that is your logic for Randy not deserving to fight Fedor. Lets also look at another person people are looking for Fedor to fight Josh Barnett but by your logic why should Fedor even contemplate fighting him when he could not even beat Cro Cop.
Styles make fights plain and simple. By no means am I saying Randy is better then Fedor but lets give the guy his due. When you guys get to be 44 and you are still making it to the gym everyday let alone competing at the level Randy continues to compete at you can then say he is over rated.....
