UFC 105 Couture Vs. Vera

After the Decision was given to Randy at UFC 105, I found it interesting that people were upset and have said that the last two UFC cards have had bad decisions. One of the rules is Octagon Control. In Machida vs. Shogun, Machida did not have Octagon Control yet Couture blatantly controlled Vera. Couture used his wrestling and kept Vera against the cage for a majority of the fight, but Vera did not have a single answer for that maneuver. Anyone who has seen Couture fight knows that his keys to success are clenching against the cage, using his wrestling to take people down and dirty boxing. To be outraged at a fighter for executing the same game plan he has always used is ridiculous. The outrage should go to the judges and Vera for not looking as if he at all trained for Couture’s well known skill set.
