My pick definitely goes to Brock. As mentioned above, Randy's most deadly arsenal, the clinch/dirty boxing, first requires him to control his opponent. If we're talking ground game, Brock is no Kimbo who was like a turtle on his back. Brock has his highly decorated, Division ONE national championship wrestling background. I think Randy is the underdog in this fight and not due to talent. Randy is definitely more talented in MMA then Brock, but Brock is no clueless bull like some big men are and Brock's strength AND power (which are two different types of abilities) AND overall athleticism, compounded by the weight ratio, far exceed Randy's aforementioned abilities, which makes up for Brock's MMA talent deficit.
Brock is my subjective and objective pick. HOWEVER, Randy Couture is Randy Couture, the giant slayer and miracle worker. If Randy wins, I'll be surprised, but not shocked.
