This fight came from one of the better Vale Tudo Japan shows. Even though the show was ten years ago there were many names present that people will recognize now. Fighting that night were Caol Uno, Vladimir Matyushenko, Frank Trigg, Branden Lee Hinkle, and Hayato Sakurai.
Enson had dangerous kicks even while he was on the ground. This guy has lots of tricks up his bag.
Wow, not the outcome I was expecting… But it is the probable outcome of the never-gonna-happen Randy vs. Fedor fight.
That was pretty quick and decisive on the ground. How they’ve both changed since then…
Didn’t look too “natural” there…but good fight for him anyhow.
Randy AKA Fedor/Kimbo Killah
That’s exactly what would happen if Randy ever fought Nogueira or Fedor…
after ten years, randy couture has come a long way…much respect to the man.
very nice technique by enson. too bad he couldn’t pull that off against vovchanchyn later on in his PRIDE days 
randy vs fedor fight will end just like this one
I love how Randy stays cool after he lost and directly goes to congratulate.
A real champion also besides the fights.
I agree with the postings about Randy vs. Fedor 
Randy is so good because hes smart and has learned to have great conditioning and has good wrestling/striking technique,has he ever learned submissions to any usable extent though? or is he just not good at them?
Randy would beat fedor down.. fedor is over rated. i bet he couldnt beat tim sylvia haha
there’s no doubting that randy is a legend in mma. but ive never been a big fan of wrestlers, especially greco roman wrestling. its boring to watch.
id much rather watch some good jiu jitsu or stand up, just my opinion tho
Ray thats stupid to say IMO
you never know in a fight, as seen with Matt serra beating
GSP, but to say that Fedor couldnt beat Tim Sylvia is ignorant when Noguiera beat Tim Sylvia AND Fedor beat Noguira 2 or 3 times
now, and Fedor has better standup striking than Nogiura.
What does Randy do better than Fedor? When has randy Ko’ed anyone. Fedor would pwn anyone. At the very least he is the favorite to win ANY FIGHT. wHAT COULD COUTURE DO TO HIM? What….?
Some people shouldnt be allowed to comment in here
that guy is a skilled fighter but coture is the greatest champion of mma. i know allot of people hate on the ufc but thats why it is the best mma circuit. the reality is that many pride fighters are coming to the ufc and losing with the exception of rampage. no to mention pride is in a boxing ring and you cant use elbows. thats just lame. Randy coture is not the reason the the fedor fight isnt happening. I should add that i am a huge fedor fan and i hope he comes to his senses and comes to play with the big boys in the ufc.
I work with a Japanese guy that now lives in Japan, when he lived in Japan he went to the gym with Enson and bought his used ski pass off of him. Enson’s like hey come and wrestle with us, but he never went.
This would happen to Randy within the first 2 minutes of a fight with Fedor……
Randy’s submission defense has improved a thousand fold since 1998. However, is it good enough to stop Fedor for five solid rounds fending off submission attempt after submission attempt? The striking would basically be a wash with maybe a slight edge to Fedor. I give the edge to Fedor, but I don’t think it would look much like this fight.
text book arm-bar. randy has evolved so much in the last ten years. needless to say. interesting to watch randy fight in a ring in japan. “LANDY COUTURE”
Yeah the ufc fighters own the Pride fighters except for Nogiuera being heavyweight champ, Rampage being light hw champ, and Anderson Silva being middleweight champ
blah blah blah nice arm bar blah blah blah randy has improved heaps in 10 years like you would expect any one to do blah blah blah any one who compares this fight to what will happen with fedor now is a bit misguided to think randy didnt learn a few escapes for a arm bar in 10 years blah.
Randy wouldn’t be caught as easy nowadays..
Good job by enson, but if Fedor were to catch Randy like that I’d be amazed. I think Fedor is probably better than Randy, but randy is a man, and is many times better now than he was back then.
enson is one tough SOB! I wish they would post the fight between him and frank shamrock. one of the best fights in mma history hands down! Shamrock Vs Inoue Fight Video.
jake… you do realize that the middle weight champ (anderson silva) the light heavy weight champ (rampage) and the heavyweight champ interim, because randy couture didnt make as much money as Kimbo Slice, Nogueira, all came from pride. The only ones who arent doing well are Silva, and Cro Crop, so what the hell are you talking about? Cro Crop is just… well, old. And silva, is just… well, old. Stupid argument with half truths on your part.
couture might really be to old to fight fedor before the damn fight happens
I know I’ve said it a million times but man I love Japanese announcers….”Raaaandy Cooootraaaahhh!” LOL They might as well have called him Randy Cooter. Corey….Cro Cop isn’t old dude, (only 30 I believe) he was just outclassed in the UFC. Silva isn’t that old either, he just got brain damage from being pulverized by Cro Cop. That fight was BS BTW, the refs in Pride stopped the fight for like 5-10 mins trying to seal up all of Wanderlai’s cuts. Then restarted it and POW, famous head kick. Silva fell to the ground unconscious gurgling blood. That’s the kind of thing that ends careers. That shit wouldn’t fly here in the states. Oh and no way Randy would get caught in that now days. He would own the rematch. No doubt in my mind.
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
