UFC 102: Couture vs. Nogueira – 11. Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Nogueira certainly proved the Mir fight was a fluke, taking as many shots as he did.
I'm not saying I wouldn't want to see Randy fight again, but this might be a nice swan song for The Natural.
R:3+ A:4 S:5 T:4
…and here I thought Couture would handle Nogueira like he did Gonzaga.
what a GREAT fight!!!!!!!!!!!!
