Randy Couture: I don't think Yushin Okami has the right skillset to beat Anderson Silva
Posted on August 20, 2011, 08:44 AM by Anton GurevichRandy "The Natural" Couture shared his predictions for next weekend's UFC Middleweight title clash between Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami. According to Couture, the Japanese veteran lacks the requiered skillset to defeat Anderson Silva, who will look to deliver an exciting performance in front of his home crowd. Couture wasn't really successful with his recent predictions, as some people might say that if "The Natural" picked Silva to beat Okami, you should bet your money on the challenger.

i'm actually surpised he doesnt think yushin has the perfect skillset for anderson? atleast one of his picks will be right for a change
Yushin okami is a great fighter but i'm gonna have to agree with couture on this one. On the other hand it is true that some of the fights okami put up surprised me. Only one thing is certain, anderson is not gonna pull of an as(s) vs demian maia this time, especially since he's fighting in his home country.
Randy shud be a ufc commentator Joe and goldy are getting rly annoying goldy has nothing usefull to say other than advertisments and we have heard everything rogan cud possibly say
Randy would be a good additon to the commentary
im sure whoever hit "funny" meant to hit "weak" its happened before
Yushin wins!
Dammit, Randy just put his curse on Silva. Now Yushin's gonna wins this easily.
Exactly what I was thinking
I was thinking Anderson is just the man to break Couture's jinx
Oh shit, since Randy put the jinx on Anderson. I'm taking Okami via Showtime kick. hahaha
I think Randy is trying to jinx Silva here. The thing is that I think Silva is beyond jinxing. Anything can happen in these fights but I think the Spider will come out victorious just like he's been in has last umm 14 fights. As far as Randy's other commentary he needs to get his facts straight. Silva has had finishes in his last 3 of 5 fights and 2 of those were in his last 2 fights. Okami is a formidable opponent with good tools for SIlva, but I think SIlva is out there evolving. I doubt he's just sitting around taking it easy. I bet that it will be much harder now to just wrestle Silva to the ground and keep him there the way Sonnen did when they fought. If you even watch the Belfort fight notice how fast Anderson got off his back. The man has been working on what appeared to be a weakness. This should be a good fight with another impressive finish for the Spider.
No Randy, why? Please change your pick.
It's going to take more than a punk ass curse for Yushin to win this fight.....Off 2 Vegas now HOLLA
that was one sexy woman...btw, I agree with Randy.
Is Randy For Real anderson not finishing in his previous fights did he see the Vitor/Sonnen Fights ?
