This matchup would have been amazing 5 years ago. However, I really think both guys are too old. Couture is in his mid 40's and Nogueira's body, even though in his 30's, has been beaten and battered from all the giants he's defeated in the past. He's 32 or 33 but in his last fight he looked like he was in his 40's. He is my favorite fighter all-time but I'm ready to see him retire.
MMAWeekly is reporting the following:
"According to multiple sources from Couture’s camp, he has agreed to face Nogueira at the yet-unannounced UFC 101 sometime in August. The event may take place in Portland, Ore. The UFC is now awaiting a response from Nogueira’s camp.
Previously, Couture was offered a fight with Nogueira in the first half of 2009, but his role in Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables,” set to film in late March, got in the way. Couture was also rumored to be under consideration for UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany on June 13, but a source indicated he would be unable to complete a proper 8-week training camp and would not take the fight"
