I would of
never count Randy Couture out of fights
he proved that about 3 times this fight

possibly but the way it went i gotta say no, its pretty much because of that 2nd round where nog was hammer fisting couture and couture was just flailing hisarms to protect himself, had couture ended up stopping nog in those later rounds id feel like nog may have gotten robbed
but had it not been for that 2nd round knockdown, i wouldnt have minded 2 more rounds
at first i was glad to see yamasaki give randy a chance but its debatable, u could argue that he may have given randy a little too much time to recover

it was a great fight, 100x better than i thought it was going to be. Nog and Couture get major props, Randy got out of so many subs, i was shocked. Nice fight,but i am anticipating 103 like crazy, cant wait to see Vitor. I was surprised by the outcome of the Jardine fight. Other than that the card was eh..

I think Nog was offered a bonus for getting a submission thats why he let randy live..regardless it was a great fight, you really felt the crowd pulling forcouture but he just didnt have it in him.

the prospect of this card was so lacklustre that i forgot to watch.
. me and some pals went to play pool and at like 11:30 one of them said'isnt the ufc on tonight?'
i said 'damn.' '.........meh.' and we kept playing.
. caught all the fights on youtube though and it was a decent card.
Minotauro is back!
His boxng looked crisp as heck and his chin was rock solid.
the fight actually could have been stopped at the beginning of the third but they gave more leeway because it's randy.
Not once during the mir fight did i think mir looked great. the only thing i kept thinking was 'nogueira keeps plodding straight at him like that and notthrowing any strikes!' looks like those staph/knee claims were legit.
if only they had held off on the carwin fight announcement.

nog's boxing looked bad... he has too much fight mileage on him... he is one of my faves all-time, so it was EPIC to see him beat another"people's champion"... if winning the UFC belt off Tim (to become the first true heavyweight champon of the world in the top two major orgs)didnt cememnt his legacy.. then this fight sealed his legacy in carbonite..

Yea nogs boxing wasn't anything good. It's just that Randy is too slow now. Nog can hold his own on the stand up but he isn't handling anyone elselike that. The fights went pretty much the way I thought. Silva will work his way to a machida rematch. Surprised nog did that well in 3 rounds but great w forhim.

Nog vs. Couture fight proved to me that Lesnar would eat them both alive.
Dan Henderson vs. Marquardt for clear cut number one contender for MW needs to happen.
I knew Thiago would win. His only loss is to the current champ.

Fedor is the only one that can beat Nog when his fully healthy. Mir just got lucky and thought he's all that after beating Nog who at the time wassuffering from staph infection and a knee injury. he took a worse beating from fedor, crocop, and sapp, so i just knew that lose from mir had something elsegoing on.
couture vs nog... fight of the night. it was an awesome entertaining fight. i was rooting for couture but i knew that minotauro in shape would be very hard tobeat. randy got rocked and almost got submitted a few times. they were really going at each other and not pulling any punches. true warriors!!!
my dude Brandon Vera got that nice kickboxing. he just needs to keep disciplined and hungry and he'll be on his way to be a top contender and possibly afuture lhw champ.
Maia... that was sad to see. i was hoping he would pull off an upset with some spectacular bjj. he really needs to work on his stand up and striking. trainingwith wandy aint helping with that. he needs someone like rob kaman

^ co-sign with everything.
but yeah i don't see brock losing that title for a while. people try to lie to themselves saying carwin even has a chance.
