Zombie nog should be taken out back and shit like a broken down race horse.

He should have retired after the nice win over glass jaw schaub.

He loses bad to most ufc heavies.

I think Nog can still hang with them. The only heavies that can beat him are JDS,Overeem and Cain. Otherwise I think he beats them all.

I really would have liked him to fight Lesnar. That has FoTN written all over it.

Fluke wins. Like I said before, Nog lost because of horrible reffing. He was clearly not hitting Mir in the back of the head and Herb called him out than went for the sub. Thats terrible reffing 101. Nog was in the right and was 1 or 2 punches away from victory. We would have been seeing Nog vs Cain 2 next week instead.

No fluke when you get stopped twice.

Up next samurai explains fedors wins over nog were flukes.

A man who was seconds away from losing to Big Nog in 2012 is fighting for the championship of the world. We need not say a single thing more on the subject, friends.

Noway mang, I love Fedor and love Nog. Fedor legit beat Nog.

who ya crappin, yacob

host is right

and yeah, mur was effectively tko'd by zombie nog so who the fuck wants to see him face jds

JDS fans.

Who was the ufc going to feed jds after fraudreem failed his drug test?

All this misplaced mur hate should be redirected to fraudreem.

Who the fuck are you guys crapping?

[polyh3dron]

Mark Hunt would give JDS a better fight, no crappin here

hell, Cain would give him a better fight in a rematch for fuck's sake

Hunt would be a hard sell who you crappin

Sergei would have been a fun fight for JDS.

Not much more to say, really. The HW division is the anti-LW division. Shallow as a mud puddle.

[parrotbeak]

UFC fans don't know who Sergei is, who ya crappin. (I'd like to see him in the UFC too)

[industrian]

Sergei would have been a fun fight for JDS.

He got KO'd by a pillow-fisted no-name Indian K-1 fighter. JDS would murder him.

Mir is an even harder sell. I can't help but laugh every time I see that ad where someone is texting someone with their iPhone in all caps "WHO CAN BEAT THIS GUY" and then it cuts to a guy who effectively was TKO'd by Zombie Nog. Had Herb reffed that fight like he did the Fedor/Hendo fight that's definitely what would have happened.

Who the fuck is the UFC crappin with that? I'd honestly take Mark Hunt over that because of the style matchup. Rankings and records don't tell you everything.

[TheNatural]

Dana doesn't want a near .500 fighter without major wins even having a chance to win the HW title.

Well that is, unless he's a former WWE champion.

[Gr1mLock]

Pat Barry lololololol

Hey I'd watch that.

Why we talking about Mir and JDS anyway? I'm actually interested in Strikeforce this weekend. Barnett by GnP is my prediction, and Gil is going to handle Thompson easy in the worthless Strikeforce lightweight division.

Yeah the ads for 146 are terrible. Its just really hard to sell Mir for this fight.

Gilbert Melendez Admits Motivation for Josh Thomson Fight Is ‘Not the Easiest’

Being a big fish in a small pond can be a frustrating endeavor in the subjective, insulated world of mixed martial arts. Fairly or unfairly, a fighter is often only as good as his résumé, and when that résumé begins lacking the flashier names of his counterparts, regaining momentum to climb up the divisional rankings can seem like an impossible task. It's an inherently skewed system, but it's the only one we've got, and it's the one the Gilbert Melendez has been struggling with for years. Despite being universally heralded as one of the top-three lightweights in the world, Melendez has drifted into divisional limbo as the Strikeforce lightweight champion.

Shaun Al-Shatti, confirmed MMA-GAF lurker.

[MjFrancis]

I'd rather rewatch Cerrone tool Stephens again than watch Mir fight anyone. I'm still bitter for having paid for Cro-Cop/Mir. Some of the most craptacular MMA I've ever been privy to. And I watch old DREAM matches for entertainment.

When is his deal up? If I were him, I would be getting on every single SF card to exhaust all the fights on his deal.

[yacobod]

I'm going to take Cormier in an upset. Barnett historically has always been weak against strikers, and Cormier will be good enough to keep it standing.

That article links to another that says it was a "multi-year deal". Nice little article though, it describes the situation and his opinion on it very plainly.

"I was having some high hopes, and I think even Dana (White) had high hopes," Melendez admitted. "It was looking positive. I don't know the politics behind-the-scenes and I don't know exactly what happened, but it just never came to. "I understand why no one (will come). I think Strikeforce and Showtime is a great promotion, and they've done great things, but it's no secret that the main stage is the UFC. Some people don't want to go into Strikeforce, and maybe, they don't want to get stuck there. I understand where they're coming from."

Cormier was considered a wrestler with no striking before he KO'ed Big Foot. Big Foot was considered just a big guy with no coordination or talent before he destroyed Fedor.

It's like a giant stack of cards that goes back to the patient zero of paper tigers.

Like I said earlier, his striking progression has been unreal. I don't think it was a fluke, as he made huge strides between the Cole and Monson fight as well. He looks very fluid on his feet now. Training at AKA will do that to you.

I agree with yaco. I don't think a Cormier upset is out of the question at all.

At least you know what you're getting with Barnett. A big ass dude who does one thing well, and can finish if he gets you on the ground. One of the few fighters left anymore who are deadly from the mount.

Maybe Cormier pulls it off, no one knows enough about him yet to know if he's legit, at least not off of KO'ing Big Foot.

And oh, I just read you-know-who says his last fight may be his fight with Rizzo. Hallelujah.

Well, if Barnett mounts a former Olympic medalist we can go ahead and move him to the unstoppable category.

How can he be retiring? He hasn't even reached his prime, brah.

nice a Cormier warwagon is emerging. if he loses, we'll sweep it under the rug like it never happened.

He's moving on to reach the prime in his true career calling: Russian ice cream eating champion. It is an upgrade though, the soft serve ice cream won't be softer than his career slate of opponents.

But a Barnett loss could lead to Barnett vs. Fedor on NYE without the needless formality of a urine test. I ain't mad at that.

That's why he'll be GOAT by default. His US career ends on no contest and then he goes on to can crush in Japan. He will be the only legend who won't end his career on losses.
