Lil Nog always had potential but he was always injured or inactive.

Prediction: correct Nogueira   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 1  

Nog is old, but he's still got more MMA skill in his pinky toe than Patrick Cummins could ever dream for. 

Maybe Nog is so old even Durkin will smash him, but if Nog can just stop a takedown or two, and Nog has always had excellent takedown defense, Durkin will be a total fish out of water standing up. I could also see Nog hitting a guillotine, an anaconda or something like that.

Prediction: correct Nogueira   wrong Decision  

The skill difference is pretty significant between these two... Lil Nog is the overall much better fighter. But he has so much wear and tear on him. It's tough to pick him, because he hasn't looked good in a long time. But he's definitely better than Cummins... I'll make a bold choice and go with Lil Nog.

I can see Lil Nog getting tagged a lot and then getting a KO on Cummins.

I honestly have no clue what to expect when seeing either Nog these days.I usually expect the worst though so i'm not too sad when they lose.I'll probably go with Cummins.It'll feel weird picking Pat over lil' nog ...not Rothwell over JDS weird,but still weird.

Big Nog's chin is definitely tissue paper at this point, but is Lil' Nog's really?  He's only been KO'd by Anthony Johnson, who could probably KO an elephant, and Sokoudjou back in the day.

Granted, at 39, his chin probably isn't awesome, but there isn't much real evidence to point to to say he for sure can't take it anymore.

Striker vs grappler. Not excited for this. I don't trust either guy. Cummins is better at implementing his game over Zombie Nogueira

cummins is kinda helpless standing, but he can take a good shot or two in order to grab a td and lil nog is getting slow.

Cummins was unfairly pegged as something of a joke by MMA fans for his short-notice performance against DC when he was only 4-0. 

But he's a good fighter. Legit top 15 at 205.
