Couture vs Nogueira

[Sharigan101]

I don’t really see anyone mention this fight. Definitely a top 10 hw fight of all time imo. Where do you rank it?

It was an incredible fight. For a long time UFC fans thought Randy would beat the guys from Pride. It was amazing seeing the CTE fossil of Big Nog out class him everywhere.

 

[Sweater of AV]

It's a great fight but I wouldn't put it top 10.

Honestly, it's not even in the top 5 of just Nog's fights. His resume of great fights is pretty unbelievable.

Indeed. If I recall correctly, wasn’t Randy the favorite?

It was a dream fight too. A little passed Randy's prime but ya, great fight

Lol Randy was more in his prime than Minotauro was.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

"The Natural" lmao...loved Randy at the time but nothing natty about him. USADA cringes when they rewatch old Randy fights

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Fight was a barn burner classic

When it comes to Randy, theres no prime or past prime, he’s always been old and good lol

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Lol Randy was more in his prime than Minotauro was.

Lol he was 46

By that logic Fedor is still in his prime

 

[SalazarSlytherin]

Just rewatched it. Good back and forth moments but Noguiera mostly beat his ass.

 

[PhotographyRaptor]

He was 46 during the fight

Damn that’s old

 

[loisestrad]

He was 46 during the fight

How old was he after?

 

[Jewish Lightning]

Handy was how old now?

Age isn't everything. Nog had more fights and took much more damage.

Randy had significantly less fights and took much less damage. It's amazing how this needs to be explained.

Would've been interesting to see if a prime Randy would've been able to deal with Nog's BJJ, because no doubt prime Couture takes him down multiple times
