This Saturday two UFC Hall of Fame inductees will clash for the first time since being enshrined as Randy "The Natural" Couture takes on Mark "The Hammer" Coleman meet at UFC 109.In what could be a classic wrestler versus wrestler match-up, what could be the deciding factor towards victory?
To find out, MMAInsider spoke to fellow UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock to see who he feels will come out on top and why.
"I've got Randy," said Shamrock. "The main reason why is that Randy is very dedicated to his training.
"He's always in good shape, he's tough and he doesn't mind the hardness of Mark Coleman."
While Shamrock wasted little time in choosing Couture, he feels that Coleman is far from overmatched in some areas.
"Mark's probably stronger than him," stated Shamrock. "Randy's strong, don't get me wrong – but I think unless (Coleman has) lost that, he is a very strong individual and I think he would have the strength (advantage) on Randy."
Strength aside, Shamrock pointed out what could very well be Coleman's Achilles' heel and ultimately cost him the fight.
"I don't believe (Coleman) will be able to get out of the first round because Randy pushes the fight too much," said Shamrock. "I just don't believe that Mark is going to have the cardio to go with (Randy) out of the first round."

I disagree with Ken...Mark can get outof the first round, just not out of the second!! lol No disrespect to the Hammer, his a warrior, but Couture is not human!!
Coleman can't go the distances. last i check in his two fights in 2009, coleman went within 20 seconds of a decision against rua and went the distance against bonnar. I dont care for either coleman or couture but i really think couture is over rated and i hope that coleman lay the hammer on him and make him do the couture stanky leg and not get up this time. its a long shot but thats what im hoping for
Coleman's not really in the same league as Randy anymore. Look for him to surprise by going for an early knockout. The longer the bout goes, the further behind he'll get. Couture in two!
Randy all the way. Period. The guy is a machine.
Mark Coleman will get out of the first round and also get a takedown.
There I said it.
