Randy agrees to face Noguiera



Former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion Randy "The Natural" Couture has signed a fight agreement to face former Pride and UFC Heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. The matchup could possibly happen at UFC 101 rumored to take place in Portland, Oregan.

Randy originally turned down the fight with Nogueira due to his prior commitments to the Sylvester Stallone action movie "The Expendables". Now that Randy has finished with filming, he will be setting his sights on fellow veteran MMA legend Nogueira.

This fight has been discussed in fantasy forums for several years as both Randy and Nogueira have been two of the best heavyweights in the sport for more than a decade. Both fighters are coming off KO losses and will be looking to get back on the winning track. Randy lost to Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 and Nogeira lost to Frank Mir at UFC 92.

Frank Mir the current UFC HW champ and Brock Lesnar the interim UFC HW champ are set to square off later this year at UFC 98 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
