(Props: YouTube.com/UFC. For part one of the 8/29 Randyvlog, which features Couture’s pre-fight preparation, visits from Wanderlei Silva and Brock Lesnar, and Randy’s walkout, click here.)
If you’re going to lose a fight, you might as well do it surrounded by people who love you. Randy Couture — who described Saturday night in Portland as the loudest audience he’s ever fought in front of — was given a hero’s reception by all the fans in attendance at UFC 102 as well as everyone he came across backstage. The above video-blog shows excerpts from his fight against Nogueira shot cageside (right behind the guy with the airhorn!), as well as the aftermath, in which Randy is examined by a doctor and takes questions at the post-event press conference. It’s hard to predict where Couture’s fight career will go from here, but with fan response this overwhelmingly positive, the Natural’s days of high-profile fights in the Octagon are far from over.

what this guy can pull off at his age defies all logic, he is on a whole nother level.

I feel blessed growing up in this age to watch Couture. He is the man. Even with his loss he showed that he's bullet-proof. I am suprised Kadumel hasn't asked CP to give him a shirt.

I was there and UFC 102 was amazing. You could feel the crowd's roars in your chest and I couldn't even hear the horn for any of the rounds ending. Totally awesome. I was kind of sad to see Randy lose...but at least he didn't get knocked out like I thought twice.

All this and all I can think about is the righteous hips on the brunette at 3:25, Great fights all around on the card though.
