Noons vs. Couture
How much of a chance does Couture have in this fight? I don't think this is a great matchup for Couture at all. What are your thoughts?

I've actually seen Ryan in a boxing exhibition and he was alright.
That was years ago, who knows how much he's improved.
I think he can grind out a win if he works his ass off, but i favor Noons at this point. Looks to be a little bit faster and more comfortable in the cage

Couture is going to win. Bet on it. I'm going to make that my first V Cash bet.

Despite losses, Noons is impressing me. I think he'll be too fast for Couture with too good of TDD as well. I think he'll pull it off.

Randy has a huge weight advantage. He'll win by GNP KO

If it goes to a decision Couture wins.
Noons only chance is a KO of Sub.
Couture wins with a Sub in the 2nd

Couture's got pretty good wrestling and underrated striking (it's not really great, but it is kinda underrated), and, though he has pretty good TDD, I could see Couture grinding out a win like Thomson did to Noons.
Although, it's pretty clear that Noons has a big advantage in striking, and I doubt that, since the Thomson fight, he hasn't been working extremely hard on his TDD and grappling, so it's likely that he could box up and eventually finish Couture and, even if he does get taken down, get back up fairly quick.
He also has a big experience advantage over Couture, so you have to take that into consideration.
It could go either way, but I'm rooting for Noons.

Noons has the better striking and Couture is a good grappler this going to be a classic striker vs grappler match up, I want Noons to win but I think couture is going to out grapple him into a ud unless Noons really works on his tdd then he might win
