Couture vs. Nogueira Likely for UFC 101
As reported by http://www.cagepotato.com/
The Natural and Minotauro — two legendary heavyweight champions whose last performances had fans wondering if their days of competing at the sport's highest level were over. But later this year, one of them will triumph once again. MMA Weekly breaks it:
According to multiple sources from Couture’s camp, he has agreed to face Nogueira at the yet-unannounced UFC 101 sometime in August. The event may take place in Portland, Ore. The UFC is now awaiting a response from Nogueira’s camp.
Previously, Couture was offered a fight with Nogueira in the first half of 2009, but his role in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables,” set to film in late March, got in the way. Couture was also rumored to be under consideration for UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany on June 13, but a source indicated he would be unable to complete a proper 8-week training camp and would not take the fight.
At 45 years of age, RandyCouture's shelf life as a pro fighter has become extremely limited. But to me, his loss to Brock Lesnar last November only proved that he shouldn't be in the cage with guys who are 50 pounds bigger than him. And as much as Couture vs. Nogueira is a fan's dream-match, it's too bad that Couture still insists on competing as a heavyweight, where he's now at a size disadvantage against everyone else in the division.
As for Nogueira, he looked much older than his 32 years during his loss to Frank Mir in December, where he was completely outboxed and had nothing to offer offensively; the noticeable decline in Big Nog's reaction time stood as a very bad omen for his future fights. Both Nogueira and Couture are talented enough to rebound strongly from their last losses, but the guy who loses this one might be taking a big step towards retirement. Randy may not be interested in competing as a middle-of-the-card fighter, and if Nogueira no longer has his famous durability to rely on, he'll be a sitting duck against younger, more energetic heavyweights.
But hey, let's not get too gloomy just yet. This is the fight that should have happened a year ago, when Randy was estranged from the UFC. Better late than never, right?
