Watch UFC 102 REPLAY! The doubts that were raised about Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira following his last fight were all laid to rest on Saturday night as the former UFC and Pride champion dominated Randy Couture for all three rounds to earn a unanimous decision win, and placing himself back in title contention in the heavyweight division.
As the judges' scorecards were read to the Portland crowd, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira got the decision win and the respect of the entire audience for putting on a world class performance over a UFC legend.
He may not have had a nickname heading into Saturday night, but Thiago Silva could have earned "The Wrecking Machine" moniker as he knocked out Keith Jardine to bounce back from the only loss in his professional career, and show his aggression didn't suffer after his last fight against Lyoto Machida.
With both fighters coming off of losses, Thiago Silva proved he belongs among the top light heavyweights in the world, while a visibly shaken Keith Jardine was left obviously emotional following the defeat.
