I don't think Schaub is "main event material", so he really doesn't need a "main event material" opponent.  He hasn't faced any top competition at all.. he UD's Gabe, who is cut now and beat a washed out Mirko.  He needs a fight to prove himself.. imo, he isn't worthy of a fight with a top guy at this point.  Not sure who would be a good fit for him, but Big Nog just isn't in my opinion.  Russow maybe if he isn't scheduled?

Whether he is main-event material or not, anyone versus Big Nog in Rio = main event slot. These guys don't do this to give themselves and their sponsors less exposure. It's a business, afterall.

A fight with Cro-Cop is surely just for the fans and for the fighters wallets, it won't further Big Nog's career rankings wise. There isn't anyone ranked higher who he can fight though. The only fighters available are ranked 5+ below him barring Schaub.

well for nostalgia reasons I was hoping for Nog/Mirko II but realistically Schaub/Nog makes more sense as far as relevance in todays MMA...damnit i'm going to go with the sentimental pick with Nog aren't I?! i just know I am

@cash the sentimental pick is alright for Big Nog...I'm pretty sure I'll take the homer pick in Schaub!

@Blackwork: I think he loses to Cain, Dos Santos, Brock, Mir, Nelson, Kongo, Struve, and Browne. I'm interested to see how PeeWee and JOE are as well.

If all those guys are booked I guess he doesn't have much of a choice, but he could just wait. You don't see every fighter calling people out. Madsen or Russow are probably on his level, and Madsen would be a good lower level test of his wrestling. I just don't agree with going for the old timers, especially in a row. Could you make it more obvious you want to pad your resume?

But hey it's confirmed now, and I know what I'm picking. :\

I'll be rooting for Nog, but will probably end up picking Schaub.

Schaub will be too fast... not strong enought to KO Nog, but I see the fight being like the Schaub Gonzaga fight.  Also, how could the UFC go to Brazil and not bring along Big Nog?  It would be sinful

schaub will probably win this but he is beating on the older "pride fighting guys" be a man and pick a young heavyweight.
