Love Couture, he’s the reason I’m such a fan of MMA, yet I can’t help think that if he wins this fight he should end it with a 2 fight win streak. He didn’t look good at all in the Vera fight. And I think the Couture that beat Gonzaga would of won the decision against Nog, but that’s not him anymore. I just don’t want to see him disgrace all that he’s done thus far in MMA. I know he say’s he’s still learning etc, and that may be the case, but his reaction time and his ability to absorb a shot are clearly reduced. Hope I am in that shape at 46, but he cant dominate guys 15+ years younger at that level anymore. Wish them both luck.
