According to MMAWeekly, Randy “The Natural” Couture has agreed to take on Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria at UFC 101 sometime in August.
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.
Couture has been rumored to be fighting at UFC 99 in Cologne, Germany, but filming of Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables†movie will prevent him from training for the June 13th fight date.

if both guys come in shape and healthy without injuries or being sick this could be a war for the ages.
I have been waiting to see this fight i hope Nog agress to it which he should.
nog will no dout, i still want to see this fight i hope they are both in great shape like dane said this really could be a great fight its a shame its not for a title.
i think NOG will win but I would love to see Randy win.. great fight
Yeah, I agree with all 3 of you. This will be highly entertaining.
i think randy's got the standup and the wrestling but nog could pull out a sub. i think randys better at the stand up just look at how they both looked on the feet against sylvia. randy put on a boxing clinic while nog got his head beat off.
I can't wait for this. Randy is very hard to submit, i see randy keeping this against the cage and controlling the whole fight.
Thats a good point TR. I think he will do that too. Keep it standing and do some dirty boxing. But I think Couture will eventually take it to the ground and end up in Nog's guard for some ground n pound. I can't wait to see how Randy deals with Nog's guard.
ooooohhhhh yeh i have been waiting for this fight. these 2 both are coming off disapointing losses. so both of them need a win. i think couture will win. if nog wins it will be by submission.
