His next fight will be against the winner of the Cro Cop/Gonzaga fight. So yes his next fight will probably be Cro Cop.

At this point I would not bet against Randy. The guy is unbelievable!!!

I never in a million years would have believed Randy could win. I'm glad, but, WOW. I still can't believe it. Randy is a machine.

I think that was the case for most. I really wanted Randy to win but wasn't sure he could do it.

For those who didnt see it here is the play by play

RANDY WON 50-45 across the board.

Couture decked Sylvia in round right after faking a kick and scoring with an overhand right. He went for the kill, but Sylvia survived, regained his bearings and the rest of the round had Couture underneath Sylvia, but having his back. Couture kept trying for a choke but never came close.

Couture took Sylvia down in the second round. He kept busy with punches to the head and body, as well as some elbows, giving Sylvia a bloody nose. It was hilarious in that the fight wasn't that exciting on the ground, but the crowd was so pro-Couture that every time John McCarthy stood them up to create more action, they booed heavily. Couture took him down a second time right at the end of the round.

Both guys were exhausted at this point, but Couture has balls of steel and fought through it. Couture outstruck Sylvia, got a takedown and won the round. At this point Couture had the match won unless he was knocked out or submitted.

Couture took him down again in round four. After a stand-up, Couture was scoring with overhand rights. Sylvia just had no game plan and clearly had taken Couture too lightly. By this point he was too tired to execute. Couture got another takedown and scored with elbows to the head and more punches.

Round five saw Couture land more punches standing, and got another takedown. He got into a mount, scored with knees to the body, more elbows, got another mount. After a stand-up, he can another takedown. Couture had a swollen left eye but he pitched a five round shutout here. This was by no means fight of the year, but it will go down as one of the most memorable fights in history.

As great as Pride's show was last week, and it was, this match had more emotion and meaning than last week's entire card times two.

Randy is not a part of Team Quest anymore.

Also don't forget Sokoudjou's 23 second knockout of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Team Quest is on a roll.
