Yeah, but since the millenium he hasn't beaten anyone worth anything except for Shogun which was just a freak situation where Rua broke his arm.
That and the fact that Couture's biggest assets are his game planning, his cardio, and his clinch/dirty boxing.
Coleman's weakness is his lack of cardio. What do you think Couture will do with this weakness... I don't know perhaps he'll clinch and dirty box Coleman until he gasses and just finishes him off.
And Couture is on the level of all those guys you just mentioned.
And Coleman (at this stage in his career) is the worst fighter Couture has faced in 4 1/2 years.
