Two cops sit filled on a hill overlooking a large green field with cows. The younger one seemed more energy bull leans toward the older wiser bull and says, "Hey Pop, let's run down this hill and we can each sex with one of those cows." To the older looking for younger bulls and bull replied: "You know what Junior, why do not we have to walk down the hill, and sex with them all."

Now I've cleaned up the previous paragraph a little of the original version, theI've heard, but you get only from him.

When I saw the Randy Couture vs. Gabriel Gonzaga UFC heavyweight title fight at UFC saw # 74, I was reminded of that old adage, and the importance that this fight. Every time I every time I think Randy Couture is fighting the first thing that appears in the pre-fight analysis of competitors Couture is the age when it would be the most important factor in combat. Now, while I get a little bent, if they do so, as the focusalways seems to be the age as a nuisance than a benefit. Over the years I've seen a lot of questionable performance by the younger group of fighters, as I have the older ones. Okay, now that I've climbed my soapbox, here's my view of this exciting book is to fight and my predictions for the next title defense Couture.

PARTICIPANTS:

Randy Couture:

As we all know, Couture, who happened 44 years old, is an outstanding Greco-Roman wrestler, and isconstantly proving to the fans and skeptical fight announcers alike that age is not, and should never be, considered a liability in any activity including competitive activities such as mixed martial arts competition. For varying perspectives on the age factor just ask former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia or World Boxing Champion George Foreman and see what they have to say on the subject.

Gabriel Gonzaga:

Gonzaga, who is a highly trained black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu, was fighting mainly known for his skills until he shocked MMA fans everywhere in his last fight with his devastating knockout of Mirko Cro Cop To put it simply, Gonzaga can and will fight.

What follows is a detailed analysis of the professional fight from start to finish, concluding with some final thoughts about both fighters. Please note that these are my opinions from my own perspective of events by the omissions. They have no intention of any type of dandruff negative or disparaging thoughts, words, etc. on one of the participating hunters. I have a great respect for all, and I mean everyone who steps on the mat. So, with another let's get started.

THE FIGHT:

Round One:

Gonzaga opened the fight with a left jab-right combination, the cross was for the most part ineffective. Moments later, Gonzaga threw a left jab that, while missing Couture steps forward with his left> Hand, the countries and visible rocks Gonzaga. Gonzaga is currently graded but comes back immediately when he and Couture a brief spate of strikes thrown at each other. None of them is that land with an impact.

Couture then attempts a takedown from Gonzaga, but not in a position, although he is currently down to the canvas on his knees. But the two men return to their upright position, a beautifully thrown Couture countries left hook to the side of the head Gonzaga. Couturefollows this up by wrapping his arms around the middle from behind Gonzaga and forces him to the canvas for a brief moment before the two men once again its standing.

Once they return to their feet, Couture Gonzaga forced against the cage, where Couture used his position to a few well-positioned to strike the knee thigh Gonzaga's land. Gonzaga did not meet surpass this with his well placed knee strike middle couture.Neither man seemed to show no adverse effects from these blows.

Couture noted continue to keep him from Greco-Roman background Gonzaga pinned against the cage, where he began to use his "dirty boxing" skills to his advantage. Couture got a knee strike in the thigh, but not in his attempt to knee Gonzaga in the head. Gonzaga fought his way out of the cage, with both men on their feet, what causes both men as an obstacle to the canvas loose. Neither man was onthe canvas for more than a brief moment before again the standing position again. Couture tries to land a knee strike, as he stood up, but does not connect with him in touch. Gonzaga started throwing a flood of blows, countered the couture and at the end of the landing a solid right hand at the helm of Gonzaga.

Gonzaga came from the right hand, his left leg with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head couture, followed by several straight blow tried toHead, which had no significant influence on couture. Couture Gonzaga attack countered by bending down and grabbed Gonzaga at the back of his thigh with both arms and forced him against the cage. Both men remained in this position for a few moments before Couture maneuvered into position where he could pick up Gonzaga and plonk him on the canvas. But he was not able to keep him on the floor and the two men back on their feet within less of aa few seconds.

This would slam onto the screen that it is the most important moment in the fight because of an unintentional clash of heads had been when the two men went down to the canvas. As we would later discover, Couture had his head slammed into the nose of the Gonzaga, resulting in a highly fractured nose. This was done in about half-way mark of the first round.

After the two men had regained their feet, Gonzaga landed a knee strike CoutureMiddle, and followed that with a few blows to the head. None of them has landed. Couture returned the favor and landed a knee strike to his own middle Gonzaga and has an uppercut to the chin for good measure.

Gonzaga responded with a right elbow to the head and a few strokes, though neither the elbow strike, nor the blows appeared to have no influence on couture. Couture, countered by Gonzaga once again forced back against the cage in which Gonzaga againgot a knee strike to the middle part couture. At that time, Gonzaga was really beginning to show the negative impact of unintended conflicts between the animals to breathe as he tried to open wide his mouth and was spitting blood, which was down the back of the throat from the broken nose. Couture in the meantime, landed a few well-placed right elbow strike to the side of the head Gonzaga and other knee-strike in the thigh.

Couture landed several "ShoulderStrikes "in the face of Gonzaga, I could not help but have been thinking more effectively to the adverse effects of the already broken nose. Couture followed his" shoulder to strike "attack with another knee strike in the thigh, left hook to head, and a beautifully thrown left elbow to the head. And just for good measure Couture got a left hook to the head.

Gonzaga returned fire with a few strokes that are currently ineffective backed up couture.That did not last long as Couture Gonzaga forced back against the cage in which Gonzaga a guillotine choke just seconds before the buzzer sounded for the end of trying this book.

Round Two:

Gonzaga started the round with a two-punch combinations with a left leg roundhouse kick to the head that is easily ducked Couture follow. After avoiding the header, and wrapped his arms around her waist Couture Gonzaga and forced him against the cage. This lasted only a moment, to work as GonzagaCouture from the handle and pushed the fight in the middle of the octagon, where they exchanged punches with Couture landed a few uppercuts before wrapping Gonzaga and forces him against the cage.

In about one minute and eight seconds into the second round, Gonzaga complained to referee Herb Dean, do not see it because of the blood in his eyes. Gonzaga Dean asked if he is able to fight Yes, and Gonzaga answered: "." Dean then asked if he Gonzagawanted to go and again Gonzaga replied: "Yes." At this point, "said Dean Gonzaga that he would not fight if he wanted (Gonzaga) is no longer able to stop to fight. Gonzaga then reaffirmed that he wanted to continue the fight resumed and Dean, after both fighters placement in their original position.
Shortly after the fight resumed, Dean took a point away from Gonzaga for access to the cage. Although it is mounted away at one point, I felt that a warning should have been givefirst. Now I admit that if a given, I did not see it. Couture Gonzaga continues to keep safe from the cage and got a knee strike in the thigh and several blows to the head a couple of elbow strikes for good measure.

Couture then stepped back away from Gonzaga and threw a few blows with a few uppercuts that prior to the resumption of his clinching tactics of operations at Gonzaga, and ended up forcing him against the cage. This entire sequence ofmove was repeated a few minutes later by Couture, the government was monitoring the Gonzaga. From the moment Gonzaga nose was destroyed in the first round was the blood flowing freely down his face and down the back of his throat, where it was obvious that this was adversely affecting his breathing as his mouth was wide open, and he was always spitting blood.

Couture continued to maintain its strategy Gonzaga pinned against the cage and managed to get a different elbow strikes and land a few uppercuts to the head. For a brief moment, Gonzaga was able to switch positions with couture couture and actually against the cage for a few seconds before Couture Gonzaga was able to reverse positions and lay back against the cage.

A few seconds before the end of the second round trying Gonzaga one takedown of couture, but was unsuccessful and the buzzer sounded signaling the end of the round.

Round three:

Gonzaga re-opened the round with a weak'Left jab and then a right leg roundhouse kick to the head of couture that could not land on target as his left arm to get Couture to protect the head. Gonzaga continued to press his attack with the right left combination to the head that is easily avoided couture with his little improved "bobbing and weaving" to avoid the blows. Couture Gonzaga attack countered with several strokes of his landed none of which, that a real effect.

After a fewMoments of strategic maneuvers led Gonzaga, a right leg very hard roundhouse kick to the head that rocked Couture, although he took the brunt of the kick on his left forearm. What I would break up later on ended Couture left forearm learn. Couture immediately come forward by Gonzaga Gonzaga again forced against the cage, where he landed a couple of knee strikes to the legs Gonzaga before him on the ground and end the fight with a veryenthusiastic, "Ground and Pound", which forced referee Herb Dean, the fight with just under three minutes and thirty seconds into the third round left stop.

The arrest:

Now there were several factors that are directly responsible for the deadlock in this fight. The primary one being the accidental collision of heads when Couture beat Gonzaga on the canvas. Some were made of couture, while others were provided by Gonzaga himself available. I have brokenthese factors down by fighter and they are as follows:

Gonzaga:

1. Their inability to breathe through his nose was broken up by far the most influencing factor in the inhibition of this fight. Had this unfortunate clash of heads is not done, we can have a completely different result for the fight was.

2. Couture allows you to dictate the pace of the fight and have also tried to fight his fight.

3. You underestimate the opponent, for whatever reason, andthis is never a good thing.

Couture:

1. If you steal one of your own lines, "Not bad for an old guy."

2. The constant pressure that you applied during the whole battle was actually an advantage for you because it had a negative impact on the conditioning of the Gonzaga not only physically but especially mentally.

3. Their stamina and indomitable spirit are the stuff of legends.

My recommendations:

Here are my thoughts on how each fighter could beStruggling to improve their respective capabilities, in particular in relation to this.

Gonzaga:

1. Much more work on your heart. Now I know that smashed the nose a strong negative effect on you had the ability to breathe, but you must be able to overcome that setback to your best performance even under the worst conditions. A training technique that I used to do to some nose plugs, which they use to swim and to take it over my nose clip, when I worked out. This combined with aMouthpiece makes it very difficult to breathe and makes you to breathing through the mouth to concentrate. However, do not get to breathe in the bad habit of opening his mouth, to keep it closed as much as possible.

2. Her steps are unquestionably powerful, but it could even more if you went back to basics and really working on fine tuning your kicks, so the more efficient and thus more efficient.

3. Not only connect to the top! There are a lot of viableConnect to targets on the spot next to the head. For example, the inside and outside of the thigh. When you step into, and make sure they begin with a few blows in the opening of the opponent's defense for the kick. They came very close to this fight ends with the head occurs. Work to implement and maximize their efficiency and you will be amazed what you can achieve.

4. Never underestimate your opponent! This is pretty muchself-explanatory.

5. Fight your fight, not fight your opponent.

Couture:

His strategy for this particular fight was almost flawless. However, here are a few things that I noticed.

1. Use your "bobbing and weaving" a lot more than what you have in the last round. Remember that you can not hurt if you are not affected.

2. The work to avoid a kick to block instead of moving it with the poor. Having said that, it is better to take a kick to the arm as it ison the head. She ducked a high kick with his head up in the struggle, and it would be well advised to take this step more and combine it with a takedown to fight to get your opponent on the floor of the practice.

3. Note that the body is also a goal and is often more accessible to strike than the head.

FINALTHOUGHTS:

Had the unfortunate clash of heads is not done, I feel that the fight would have gone much the same way as it was. But I think the fight would go the distanceCouture with a unanimous decision win. Well said, it is very plausible that Couture would have let their guard down a bit and allowed Gonzaga to a fight ending kick with either foot or fist country. Who knows, maybe there's a rematch determined in the future. Only time and the next fight will tell.

My tips:

Mirko Cro Cop vs. Cheick Kongo:

Both fighters are very experienced kickboxer, and both have the power in their hands andFeet into the ground a knockout blow. But I think that Cro Cop is the advantage in this struggle have, as he is a real tough competitor and has any amount to say after his impressive victory in the hands or should I foot of Gonzaga. I predict that Cro Cop goes on to win this fight handy with a vicious kick KO at the head of the Congo in the first round.

Randy Couture vs. Mirko Cro Cop:

I think that couture goes to fight Cro Cop much as he did Gonzaga and this mayprove to be advantageous for a while, but eventually I see Cro Cop landed several vicious leg kicks that Couture is violated and set it for either a kick to the head or a combination of punches that will knock him out in the end. I predict Cro Cop by KO in the third round.
