Couture vs Nogueira

Macster78 · 08-18-2009, 01:16 AM

This is coming up at UFC 102. Battle of the old greek soldiers. I had a slight inkly towards Nog when I heard about this matchup. I also have to give Randy a chance cause he takes no prisoners. Strangely enough I see this going to the 3rd round with Nog getting the submission, though I've never seen Randy submitted.

i got randy for this one...
tho i know big nog will bounce back from his lost and perform better,
i still think randy will come up with a sick game plan.

I see Randy winning this by UD....Nog hasnt been able to pull off a decent submission since he came into the UFC.

That choke that he baited Sylvia into was pretty good.

Well. I like both fighters but I really have to pull for my man Nog here, I can't bare to see him lose again, I still get depressed when I think of him getting beat by Mir, at Nog's worst.

I say both have a great chance, and this would be a no bet for me. I can see either fighter taking it but I hope Big Nog wins.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna be rooting for Minotauro as well.

All Randy has to do is keep it standing.

Spidergreg · 08-20-2009, 09:36 AM

and clinch

No, not really. Couture has amazing wrestling, and sure Nog has amazing BJJ but how often does Couture get subbed, and Noguiera has always had good boxing and stand-up, and he's the toughest fighter in the history of the sport so if Randy can utilize his grecko clinch. I can't call a winner in this.
