hard to tell since he is raising his hands.

but why not use hgh for both events since it doesnt get detected through testing.

Yeah, Randy is juiced up for this fight. When you see him a lot of the time, he is a pretty skinny dude, then at times, BAM jacked. Just means he is juicing big for this fight.

Anyway, Go Big Nog!

Anyone else lay any bets down on this bad boy or am I the only degenerate gambler in this crowd?

Go Randy and Nate!!!

Is anybody giving Nog a chance in this? I noticed the Couture pick was almost unanimous

I think almost everyone had Randy based on how his style will neutralize Nog's strengths. AND THEN the report came out that Nog has been getting KO'd while training a lot so that didn't help.

I basically agree here, but I believe RC is overrated and always has been. Nog has the more impressive career, record, and was the better fighter when both were at their best. Really if you look at both of their career's I think now is the only time that RC is actually a favorite in the fight between the two.

However, I think paying -200 for RC over Nog is just dumb. I think Randy should be -150 tops. Nog may win.

Guys who watch the fights via online streaming:

Is there usually a high quality stream that would look decent on a TV and won't constantly stop to buffer?

That is certainly how it appears if you look at both of their Wikipedia pages. I stopped watching MMA years ago, before this current revival in the US and all of the reality shows, which made me wonder why Couture was such a heavy favorite.

Common opponents:

Couture: 3-4
Nog: 8-1
Nog has been the better and more impressive fighter throughout his career. Couture is one of the more overrated overhyped fighters in MMA.

That said, this is a good matchup for Couture at this point in time due to styles and the fact Nog may be slowing down faster. However, Nog may very well beat him.

No I've argued with you and beat your annoying Pride nuthugging arguments before, but sadly you never seem to wisen up.

I hope Nogiera beats him. Actually, I am not sure if I care.

I could honestly care less about this fight. I'd rather watch tow up and comers instead of two aged vets flail their way to a decision.

I got a good feed for 101 from channelsurfing, but this isn't always the case.
