UFC 134 Rio de Janeiro Aug 27th

[AC88]

I wish there was a "Not Shogun by submission" prop. I'd be ALL over that one.

[Svino]

Who would you guys pick in a rematch?

Well, I suspect Silva would come in around -250, and in that case I would definitely bet on Sonnen.

[Ludo]

Well he has his own gym. I imagine he'll go into seriously coaching and cornering guys and passing on his knowledge.

[SPX]

So what does a guy like Nog do when it's obvious it's time to retire?

Start his own gym? Become an investment banker?

[Ludo]

I think it's just a mixture of time, timing, and possibly new experiences. He's been fighting forever, taking damage forever, fighting hurt forever, and now all of a sudden he has three surgeries inside of a year and may not know how to properly gage when he's feeling up to fighting. Then again he might be shellshocked too, so there is that.

[SPX]

Maybe Nog is depressed and just doesn't give a fuck anymore.

[Luke]

Mauricio Rua vs. Forrest Griffin - I don't see why this is any different than the first fight.

Please explain because 4 years and being in shape usually makes a difference.

Big Nog @ UFC 102, 231 lbs

Yep, shredded. And he beat old man Randy around the cage like a pinata.

Scientist, you are on unusually late. Aren't old people like you supposed to be in bed by 10?

[zY|]

agreed on all counts. It is not going to stop me from hoping though.

Oh no doubt. I'll whip my cock out and fap ferociously to a Nogueira submission.

[zY|]

Also, on the triangle tip, isn't it a bit humiliating to go to sleep with your face buried in a dude's crotch?

[MMA_scientist]

agreed on all counts. It is not going to stop me from hoping though.

[poopoo333]

I am gonna go to the bank tomorrow, withdraw $25,000 and put it on Schaub.

[zY|]

Yeah, it's listed as triangle/armbar. He probably could've gotten out, but panicked. That's my theory.

BTW, Big Nig came in fat at 243. He's only come in over 240 twice before. He had his head knocked off both times.

He's going to be slow as shit and Schaub is probably going to punch-a-size his face, for free.

Nog also looks 100 years old.
