If Couture thinks UFC 102's performance is not a disappointment, UFC 105's probably will be

(No Staph this time, huh?)


Ever since his fight with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102, Randy Couture kept saying that the fight proved he can still fight and that he is not done yet. The fight (like every other Couture fight since the Tim Sylvia fight) really proved that Couture is ageless, still improvig (and has sick submission defense) but it also showed (shockingly) that The Natural actually comes up with bad game plans sometimes (not a single takedown attempt, come on).

A lot of the wrestlers in MMA have this thing where they decide to abandon wrestling and start boxing, Which sometimes results in them losing fights they could've easily won. Of course it's nessecary for fighters to be well rounded but come fight time why not take the easiest way to the win and fight where you're best at. Just see the second Georges St-Pierre - Matt Serra fight.

Couture says he is over it (the boxing thing) and he will try to make Brandon Vera wrestle him. I'm not sure he will though so I'm not gonna predict the fight, I'm still upset about the last one.

I'm not gonna leave you without a preditction though, Swick by the way of first round technical knockout. Hardy is not ready yet for Swick.
