I sincerely hope so. Nogueira is my favorite fighter and this is a huge fight for him. Couture is a big test and there is a lot at stake. I really like Couture and this will be the first time I've ever wanted him to lose. Nog needs the win to stay prominent. A loss will signal to many a decline and will take him out of contention, at least until he could string together a couple wins. A win likely puts him into a future title shot or at least a fight for number one contention. Couture is going to be so tough to beat. Couture's style suits Nog well if it wasn't Couture. Both of these guys are machines and it could be a classic. I'm not going to provide analysis on this fight or anything like that, but I will say that for a fight that would have been huge five years ago, it's still a big fight. I'll post my thoughts following the fight on Saturday.
GO NOG!!!!
