I’d have to say Marquardt’s 21 second knockout of Maia was pretty special. Let us know your thoughts. UFC 102 has just ended and we have all the results from one of the best fighting nights of action in recent memory. In the main event for UFC 102, the results were not pretty for future UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture as he was soundly beaten by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
Nogueira won every round fairly decisively and not only controlled the ground work but also the standup. The Brazilian flattened his UFC 102 opponent more than once and the results showed a 30-27, 30-27, 30-28 win on the cards. Nogueira looks like the next opponent for UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. It did not take Nate Marquardt long to find winning results in his fight against submission expert Demian Maia and the fight came to a conclusion just seconds in the first round.

Couture vs Nogueira Video: The UFC 102 event took place last night, and it was the battle between Randy Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, that many MMA fans were waiting for. Both UFC legends battled it out for three rounds and certainly traded some heavy leather throughout. But according to fighthype.com, even though Randy Couture was the betting favorite, it was Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira that took fight victory at the Rose Garden event. Although Couture did manage to get some good jabs in on the first round.
Nogueira attempted a guillotine choke on Couture in the second round, but Couture managed to escape. At one stage, it looked as though the fight was over, with an arm triangle attempt from Nogueira, but yet again Randy managed to escape. The third round saw Couture come out quite fast again and land some good shots, but Nogueira was quick to get some in of his own. The official scorecards at the end were 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28, which were all in favor of the winner Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
“It was beautiful to fight him,” said Nogueira, the only man in history to hold the UFC and PRIDE heavyweight titles. “He’s a true champion and he’s one of my idols. It was a beautiful show today.” “I’m disappointed about losing, but you gotta love this sport,” said Couture, a three time heavyweight and two-time light heavyweight champion. Both Nogueira and Couture were coming off losses - the 33-year old Nogueira to Frank Mir last December, and the 46-year old Couture to Brock Lesnar – leading many to wonder whether the two had hit the end of the line in their storied careers. But as the old fight game adage goes, the great ones always have one great fight left in them.
