I'd love to see this fight go to the ground. Two of the most accomplished grapplers at HW. Sadly, this'll probably be a sloppy striking affair.

Nog looked very good vs Mir and Schaub. I think he can do this.

Prediction: wrong Nogueira   wrong Decision  

Nogueira's lack of head movement (virtually none) has me worried for this fight against Biggy Roy Nelson. I still can't pick against Nogueira.

Big Nog is pretty much the superior fighter in every category but I can't trust his chin for 5 rounds and I don't see him KOing or Subbing Big Country, Roy has about a round of cardio tho and basically becomes a punching bag if he doesn't get an early KO. I still think he should be able to get the finish here

I feel that if this fight goes past the 1st round, Nog will win.  Nelson gasses HARD every single one of his fights.  Maybe Nog can outpoint him if he can survive the first round.  We'll see what happens.

I was impressed with Roy's patients during the fight.  He dropped Nog but instead of bum rushing him and possibly getting caught up in Nog ground game, Roy took his time and continued stick to his plan and eventually finished him off. Some younger fighters could something from that finish.
