I agree that Couture is not like Horn. Horn, for example, has like a hundred more fights than Couture. But, the comparison of stand up versus ground is what I was aiming at -- THAT can be compared, you just compared them. Liddell is too smart to go down on the ground against fighters that he knows have more experience and (possibly) more ground skills than Liddell has in MMA. Liddell will always play up to his strengths. With a title on the line, there is no room for testing ground skills.

I think that is highly likely. I won't bet on it, or say that with 100% confidence, but I think it might happen that way... Maybe not in the first round, though, and more likely in round three or four.

Yeah and thats why Liddel has the title. I just don't think that Liddel can play his game against Couture. Horn is good on the ground but his worst skill is takedowns (and takedown defense because he wants to be on the ground). Chuck's figthing style is perfect for fighting a guy like Horn. While Randy's style is almost build to fighting someone like Liddel.
