Yes,

Randy "The Natural" Couture made Tim Sylvia look like he was moving in slow motion. Tim threw a punch and Randy had time to go out for coffee, return to the arena and still have time to duck under the huge reach advantage to strike the champ at will.

When Randy decided to take it to the ground he made the former UFC Heavy-Weight champ look like an inexperienced amateur. Most people did not expect this match to be so one sided, but it was.

The Natural won in a unanimous decision. The fight wasn't even close. Couture dominated every round, closed up Sylvia's left eye, and barely got hit himself.

Best thing, Rogan interviewed after the fight and first thing Couture said, "Not bad for an old man"

Heck yes, where ya been? jk....lol It was won by Randy "The Natural" Couture, and truthfully it was not even close. I suspected that Couture must have seen some chink in Sylvia's armor to take him on, and it appears I was right.

Does anyone else here think we should change Randy's name to Randy "The Supernatural" Couture?
