Live From Portland, OR
PPV Start Time: 10pm est

Heavyweight Bout:
-Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Light Heavyweight Bout:
-Forrest Griffin vs. Thiago Silva

Lightweight Bout:
-Melvin Guillard vs. Thiago Tavares

I'm interested in this fight but my gut says Couture grinds out a decision. But Nog could definitely out point Couture standing if they get caught up in a boxing match. Just saying.

In a stand up match between Nog and Couture, Couture wins without a doubt, his stand up skills and striking ablility have improved tremendously in the last few years, he is much quicker and comes from much better angles than Nog, allowing him to catch his opponents off guard, He is also a much better wrestler than Nog. Nog does have an advantage with his jiu jitsu though, I pick couture to win, but im not sure in which way.

UFC 101?

What about 97, 98, 99, 100 and whatever else there is before August?
