Are you sure that Lil' Nog wants to take a break from being injured to fight?

Two oldie fighters not fighting for belts, but for pride, they're gonna book it and beat the living **** out of each other because they both know it's probably their last fight. So I'll be watching with popcorn.

I don't see Lil Nog making the fight. He will be a scratch sooner rather than later!!

Lil Nog ranked in the top 10 may be the dumbest **** I have read in a while. He is not top 50 at this point.

If Lil Nog bows out of this fight, just cut him, his body is almost as brittle as Jamie Varner.

Fight has virtually zero importance when it comes down to rankings and ****. But they're two legend who have already had one of the best fights of that year, and I'm sure they have enough in the tank to give one more.

I'd say Little Nog is more brittle than Varner, Varner would usually make it to the fights to get injured.
