    I like what the UFC is doing here. They should keep recycling the same guys over and over again. It isn't boring at all.

    This fight is 2 years past its sell-by date. From what I saw of both fighters in their last fights, they are so shot it's not even funny. Randy's lost so much muscle mass and Nog was a complete zombie in his last fight. Really awful. Makes me cringe seeing these guys fight.

    See, I actually kind of like it. It forces one out pretty much. Very similar to Liddel/Shogun. The loser is done, the winner has to go fight another contender.

    I think both guys want out. But they want to finished with a W. I just hope that after the fight the winner doesn't think "he's still got it".

    The thing is though the UFC can just act like the loss to either guy never even happened. Not once did UFC mention Wanderlei was 1-5 in his last 6 on Saturday night. Just talked about how much of a killer he is.

    What are you expecting me to say? The fight makes sense. The winner lives to fight again, and the loser pretty much calls it a day.

    Personally, I think Nog wins this one. I don't think Couture's heart is in to fighting anymore.

    Couture had a far better performance vs Lesnar than Nog did vs Mir. If we are to judge by that, Randy easy. If the rumors are true that Nog was injured, it's a better fight. I still Like Couture in this one.

    Yeah I agree, Randy was doing alright against Lesnar until he got caught with the shot to the head.

    I'm going with Couture on this one.
