Couture Turns Down Nogueira UFC 81 Match
Randy Couture met with Dana White this past Wednesday. Among the topics discussed was a fight between Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 81. According to Tom Hamlin of Yahoo, Couture turned down the offer. Now, remember, we don’t know the terms of the proposed fight and we don’t know his reasoning for turning down the fight. Couture suggested that he wants some time to with his newly wed wife, to travel and enjoy his home;
“I want to take some time and go on a vacation, spend some time with my wife. We’ve been married a year now and we’ve been together very, very little in that year; it’s been crazy. It’s been difficult on us. I’ve got a nice house and I don’t even get to spend any time in it hardly, so take a little time now and just smell the roses so to speak.”
For now it looks like Tim Sylvia will be facing off with Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for a heavyweight championship belt. After beating Brandon Vera, Syliva has earned the contender position for the heavyweight belt. And for Couture… he is still set on an opportunity to fight Fedor…
