The UFC 74 fight card for the much talked about pay-per-view event on August 25, 2007 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Nevada was certainly the source for much speculation. One man silenced the doubters once and for all, earning the respect of friends and foes alike. Randy Couture proved that age is certainly not a factor when he successfully defended his heavy-weight title against the much younger Gabriel Gonzaga in three rounds. In spite of Gonzaga’s excellent reputation as a dangerous opponent, Couture delivered an impressive performance leaving no room for Gonzaga to shine.
