No names have been thrown out yet, but who would you like to see "The Natural" take on after losing his belt to Brock Lesnar?

Dana White. Couture by KO in the first.

He should step down a weight class and put him against a wrestler. I think it would make a good last fight. Maybe Dan Henderson or Matt Hamill someone that will role with him. Henderson may want to try to strike where that seems to be Coutures weekness though

If you hate MMA then dont go to MMA msg boards.

I would say the loser of the Mir/Nog fight.

Thanks for the sage advice, Hank. But you know that sort of thing rarely happens on FanNation. Hahaha...

Depends on weight class....
Heavyweight - Loser of the Nog/Mir fight or maybe Chieck Kongo.
Light heavyweight - Wanderlei Silva

I'd like to see him fight loser of Mir/Nog to test his BJJ. I think he may be able to take either one. I think Kongo would be a one sided fight, he's never shown any real competence on the ground or grappling, and he gasses almost every fight. Couture takes him down and beats him badly.

I don't think Couture's fast enough to take on the youth of the light heavies. The division is just too deep.

No body he should retire.

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned. I think they could put a ton of hype behind it and probably make some bank.

Randy Couture vs. Royce Gracie. Two UFC Hall of Famers. Two older guys fighting it out to see who's still got it. Granted, I would expect Couture to win because he's the more well-rounded of the two and personally, I'm not sure how exciting it would be. But like I said, there's definitely some money to be made in putting the both of them together.

It's too late to match up Couture and Fedor.

For Randy I would see him fight Dan Henderson in the UFC.

Either that or bring back Mark Coleman for one last fight, something of the sort.

Ehrm... Royce Gracie is a welterweight, a MW at best. That wouldn't work.
