UFC 149

Big Nog -230, Kongo +170

[poopoo333]

Went and took Nog @ -175

[MMA_scientist]

Nog should win that easily I would think.

[poopoo333]

Me too, thought -175 was going to be a one time deal....thought it would go back up to -215 or so quickly. Apparently it was down to -155 recently. Oh well. Just don't see how Kongo wins. He isn't really a heavy KO artist (except that crazy Pat Barry fight), he isn't going to want to put Nog up against the fence and take him down. He is a tentative striker, I think Nog will box him up and probably get him to the ground.

I really don't see how Kono wins either. He gets hit a lot, and I think he is more chinny that Nog at this point. He is too small to hold Nog down I think. Maybe Nog is out of shape because of his shoulder.

. . . and I think he is more chinny that Nog at this point.

This statement seems to come from the same place as unicorns and leprechauns.

Well who has Nog been knocked out by? Mir and Cain. Kongo was also dropped Mir (before he grabbed the guillotine), and was dropped and nearly knocked out by Barry too. The of course he was KO'd by Hunt. Kongo doesn't seem like he takes a very good shot these days to me. Maybe Barry and hunt hit harder than Cain... still I don't think it is that far fetched.

[SPX]

Well to be fair, Kongo has been fighting a lot more lately and I think his most recent performances are fresher in your mind. And even then, the only dude who actually knocked Kongo out was Hunt.

With Nog, he got knocked out by Mir . . . beat Randy . . . knocked out by Cain . . . almost knocked out by Schaub (if you dispute this go back and watch the fight, there was a point before the finish when he looked rocked and about a punch away from getting KOd) . . . and then, okay, he didn't get knocked out by Mir the second time around, but instead got his arm ripped off.

I'm not saying that Kongo hasn't had some issues as of late, but he's only really been knocked out once . . . in his entire career (I'm not counting the Yvel fight because that wasn't really a knockout).

[poopoo333]

Pretty sure Kongo was KO'd at least six times in the Barry fight.

British middleweight Michael Bisping has been injured and is out of his UFC 149 bout against rising force Tim Boetsch. Stepping in to meet "The Barbarian" will be Hector Lombard, a former Cuban Olympian who rides a 25-fight unbeaten streak into his Octagon debut.

With champ Aldo out, UFC 148's Faber-Barao title fight moves to UFC 149

[MMA_scientist]

Man, the UFc is putting on some super shitty main events. I hope this is free... UFC 147 main event is Franklin/Wand, and this main is Barao/Faber... cmon, those have to be free.

[SPX]

Barao/Faber for the Interim title is a shitty main event and should be free? WTF?

[MMA_scientist]

Barao/Faber for the Interim title is a shitty main event and should be free? WTF?

Yeah, clearly. Am I alone here? You think Barao/Faber is PPV headliner worthy?
