Couture vs Nogueira

An issue as well I'd say us whether a fighter has the speed to lose, a young Nog was pretty fast and agile, Randy whilst he slowed down a bit I don't think he was ever really that fast

So Nog was faster than Randy, thus at an advantage.
 
Great call, haven’t thought about that fight for years. A banger at the time, I’ll have to rewatch that.
 
Randy was juiced up on TRT and putting in work in the gym like a 35 year old. If he was some old ass 46 year old senior citizen he wouldn't be a world HW champion one fight before fighting Nog. He was still in amazing shape then and much healthier than Nog.
If he wasn’t on TRT he would’ve gotten owned in the first round. Have you never seen those Nugenix commercials with Frank Thomas? If not you should google it. She’ll love it too
 
I enjoyed the fight a lot. At the time I did consider it one of my favorite HW fights. Nowadays I'm not sure. But one of the main reasons why I liked it so much was because I was uncertain how Big Nog was going to be after the Mir loss and was surprised to see how good he looked.

Also, lol at people arguing about who was more out of prime. Both were coming off a loss and while not on huge losing streaks I think both were showing signs of being past it. Both guys after this fight did not do super well (Big Nog 2-5, Couture 1-3). Age isn't the only indicator of being in prime and same as number of fights. Mileage from fights + training camps, injuries, fight syle, genetics etc. all play a role and for some they will hit their wall earlier or later than others.

randy went 3-1 “ beat” Vera. James Toney and mark Coleman. Lost to machida
 
Wahhhhhhh baby wants his bottle.
What's funny is people like you can't see the difference in talent between prime Fedor and Nog as compared to prime Couture and Sylvia. Dana quit sending his fighters to Pride tournaments because his prize horse, Chuck Liddell, got smoked by the third best LHW in a Pride tournament. You're just stupid. I laugh at you.
 
It's clearly not in either but you sound like you disagree. Why don't you go ahead and tell me where you rank it.

I was asking for your list incase I missed or can't remember some rn.

Idk if I even have in my top 10, it might be 12th or 9th idk, I really haven't given THAT much thought about it. Just wanted your lists.
 
Good fight, one of my first wagers in MMA too. bet on Couture. didn't expect him to be so chinny in that fight, or Nog being able to crack like that.
