Lesnar has a LOT of power in his punching, he even displayed it against Mir. Mir didn't voluntarily go the ground around 40 seconds into the first round. Lesnar dropped him with his first standing punch that the threw, and then pounced on him. Same thing happened with Herring.

Whenever Couture has fought gigantic men (especially recently), they've usually been huge not because of pure muscle, but because of muscle and fat. Lesnar is huge because of muscle. And he has to cut weight to make it into the heavyweight division!!

I don't think Couture will be able to control him like the other big men he's thrown around and dominated. Both Sylvia and Gonzaga could stand to lose 20-25 lbs of fat! Maybe more for Sylvia!

If Couture can avoid Lesnars monstrous hands and power (like he did against Sylvia), he'll do great. But can he avoid his lightning quick hands for 25 minutes??? I don't think he can. But I hope that he can!
