These two ATG, want to fight again, so why not put them against? The fight wont mean nothing, but its still a fight I want to see.


I got Couture by KO

Couture would likely batter the shit out of Nog standing and in the clinch.

I wouldn't mind seeing it; a little like seeing Jones/Hopkins now; meaningless but sort of interesting.

more interesting than Jones-Hopkins, you already know that Jones has no chance, Hopkins still has good boxing in him, where Jones has trash in him right now.

Nog still has a chance of a sub

I can dig this fight infact when Nog went down last night this is what came in my head its what ive wanted for awhile.

It would be a really close fight. But I think Randy's hands are a little bit better. And his Greco-Roman Wrestling would negate Nog's takedown attempts. I would pick Randy by decision or late TKO.

Yea, on the same card we can also have Liddel vs W.Silva 2, Serra vs Hughes and we can call the card UFC 97: The Fossils.

Probably. I can just imagine him talking, trying to hype up another Ortiz-Shamrock fight. Making excuses.

He will just say stupid shit like Tito did not hurt me but I can hurt him and I will im going to bully him,im going to submitt him,im going to knock him out,im going to knock his hair black when I get to 208 and my ACL and my shoulder heals and im going to beat him into a living death because Tito Ortiz is a punk and I will not be disrespected.

Nog has said he would be willing to fight Couture.

When you are at one point universally recognized as the #2 Heavy on the planet and then get dropped 3 times and pounded out by Frank Fucking Mir it is time to retire.

I take nothing away from Mir but it looks to me as if Nogueira is finished as a fighter, he has looked slow for the past few fights but his awesome submition game has saved the day for him.

I still think the stoppage was premature as Ive seen Nog in more serious trouble & come back to win but he wasnt even in the fight with Mir, he looked worn out, his timing was away to shit.

At their best, Id pick Nog over either Mir or Randy but now might be time for him to give it up, he has been a great fighter thru the yrs & Im actually quite sad right now but the man will damage himself if he keeps fighting the elite IMO.

If you could take CroCop kicks and now you can't take 2 jabs from Mir without falling down you should retire.

Yep, Nog has got to get out of the game. He looked so beat up and arthritic in the octagon on Saturday night.
He's got a long career ahead of him as a teacher/trainer, so there's no shame retiring now.

Nog got up stumbling around he was out of it.

Nog got up stumbling around he was out of it.

If you look closely, he still had enough wits about him to prevent Mir from gaining side mount/mount, Im not saying that he would have survived the remainder of the round but Ive seen him worse & his history should have been taken into account as a survivor especially as I already said - Nog`s gaurd wasnt even fully past by Mir.

It wasnt the worst stoppage Ive seen, maybe as Nog is my fav fighter, I didnt want to see him get stopped but at least wait until Mir gets past his guard were Nog wont have a chance to properly defend himself.

The guy is a warrior & this is how he makes his living, he should be given FULL benefit vs ANYONE for what he has done in MMA.
