Why Couture will dominate Nogueira Everywhere

By: Yehia on Aug 28, 2009

(Randy Couture pounding on Gabreial Gonzaga with his BROKEN left arm).

Standing up
  • Couture dominated Tim Sylvia standing up (he knocked him down with the first punch).
  • If outboxed, Couture can take the fight to the ground at will.
In the clinch
  • Couture is great at dirty boxing and holding fighters against the fence.
  • Nogueira doesn't have the wrestling ability to take Couture down.
  • Nogueira doesn't mind getting taken down so much.
On the ground
  • Two-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu absolute world champion Jacare didn't even score in a grappling bout with Couture (Couture outweighed Jacare with 30-40 lbs but he didn't come to the bout 100% and he wasn't pounding on Jacare either).
  • Fedor GnP'ed Nogueira from his guard for the most part of thier first fight, so it's not that impossible to do.
  • Elbow srikes which Couture can use were banned in Pride.
  • Brock Lesnar couldn't hold Couture down.

P.S. Lesnar is next.
