The major reason Randy Couture moved down to 205 was because he felt he couldn't handle the bigger and stronger fighters who were skilled on the ground. He never got to showcase his improvement against Gabriel Gonzaga, as the Brazilian never got a chance to get on top of Couture.
Couture has evolved over the years into a more solid fighter and he feels he is fine to take on the big dogs at heavyweight when it comes to fighting off his back. They get no bigger than Brock Lesnar in the division at it will be very intriguing to see how this fight pans out.
With Lesnar's wrestling credentials we can likely see Couture fight off his back at some point, unless the fight ends quickly on the feet. How he reacts will be a huge test on seeing how far he has advanced as a fighter. Lesnar will try and dish out some of the ground and pound medicine that Couture has doled out for years.
Lesnar is a wild card because we have no idea how good he is yet. He is still a rookie, albeit a very terrifying one. But based on the info we have I guess Couture will be able to use his wrestling and MMA skills to get out of any negative situations he might encounter with Lesnar and come out on top. We'll find out in a week at UFC 91.
