Ever wanted to go inside one of Randy Couture‘s training camps in a five-part series of webisodes designed for the fan with a minimally-functioning knowledge of MMA? Then you’re in luck. SI.com posted the first video in their journey through Couture’s preparations for his bout with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102, and it’s not bad. No serious revelations here for the hardcore fan, but they’re just getting started. In related news, Couture’s currently a -190 favorite over at BetUs.com. Wonder how much of that is based on his skills, and how much is the result of the sickly, sluggish performance from Nogueira in his last outing.
Yeah. He has been submitted but not recently so I think he deserves to be the favourite. Randy also looked a bit slow in his last fight so to be honest, I think he should be calling it a day if not after this fight, then soon after it. You can’t beat the ageing process, but I think randy’s had it in some tough positions and certainly made it pay for any takedown attempts and I’ve really worked myself into a corner with this metaphor and I’ll stop now.
