UFC 102 is on Saturday night Sunday morning, this card isn’t the most exciting on paper and only really boasts two fights for the event fans.
The fight between two legends is the first and the main attraction as the main card fight -
One is UFC veteran – Randy Couture, who has been both light heavy and heavyweight champion and the older former pride ruler Nogueria.
Randy Couture record is now 46 (defy’s logic right) his record is 16 wins and 9 loses includes wins over Vitor Belfort, Gabriel Gonzaga, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.
Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira is 33, has been interim heavyweight champion until his lose to Frank Mir record is 31-5-1 includes wins over former champ Tim Syvlia and Heath Herring making his UFC record 2 wins and 1 lose.
Both fighters are out of the prime MMA years but have shown in previous fights an explosion of power or an ability to turn any situation into an attack or situation of dominance or imposing their will.
Couture for me still has many skills and his experience apart from his previous outting against champ Brock has shown a really classy thinking fighter.
Nogueria on the other hand hasn’t looked his best since moving to UFC. Last time out against Mir he wasn’t in the fight @ all, Mir outboxed and out did Nog every step of the fairly brief fight.
This one for me is Couture’s to lose, I predict a second road TKO.
Let the battle commence
