Nogueira predicts Couture to defeat Lesnar

Postby keithlewis » Mon Sep 15, 2008 11:18 am

Sam Caplan: How do you feel about Brock Lesnar getting the first opportunity to fight Randy Couture for the heavyweight title?

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: Brock Lesnar is a marketable fighter. He could be big in the UFC and I think he’s good for business. He’s a good fighter and in his early fights he’s shown he’s legit and that’s why he’s getting a chance. He’s a fighter with a style that makes things harder for Randy Couture because he’s a wrestler. Lesnar will probably try to play the top. But Couture is a more experienced fighter and I think he’s going to do better in the stand up with his hands and that’s why I think he’s going to be the winner of that fight.

I'm wondering how this will go. I mean between now and then, Brock Lesnar could learn a lot between that time, and I definitely think he is stronger, fast, and just more athletic period. However, Randy Couture CANNOT be counted out.
