Couture moved down a weight class to fight at 205 lbs in the UFC's light heavyweight division. In his light heavyweight debut, Couture took on long-time number one contender Chuck Lidell for the interim light heavyweight championship.Couture won by TKO in the third round, and became the only UFC competitor to win championship titles in two weight classes, a feat since matched in 2008 by
BJ Penn; this earned Couture his nickname "Captain America".

Tito Ortiz for the undisputed light heavyweight title. Couture won a unanimous decision and became the undisputed UFC light heavyweight champion at age 40.
At the age of 43, Couture defeated then-champion Tim Sylvia at
UFC 68 by unanimous decision to claim his third UFC heavyweight title. numerous takedowns. All three judges' scored the bout 50-45 for Couture, making him the first fighter in UFC history to become a three-time champion.
On August 25, 2007, at UFC 74 Couture defended his title against Gabriel Gonzaga, Couture defeated Gonzaga by TKO (strikes) to retain the title.
Overall Nog's resume is better in my opinion he has consistantly fought some of the toughest guys in MMA in PRIDE(including FEDOR twice).
However Couture is still doing it at age 46! I swear at this rate he might make it to 50!
