I'm not complaining. I'm stating a fact. Schaub was winning, Nog ended up winning and was too tired to climb up the cage. It's alright.

Schaub tagged him a few times but it was only 3 minutes in to the fight when Schaub got blasted, you guys are trying to make it seem like Schaub dominated him or some ****. I could understand if Schaub was Soccerkick or xbass favorite fighter or something, but you guys are being ***** for no reason, so like I said earlier. **** off.

Big Nog wasn't getting "picked apart" according to what Speedo here is proclaiming, but by no means was he winning this fight before he caught Schaub.  Like they say "Anything can happen" and having a 35 year old legend who looks about 50 landing flush on a younger opponent is what happened.  Good fight Nog, good fight.

We're being ***** because we are telling the truth?!?! Okay.

Well I say UFC 150 should be in Washington, D.C. and should be Brian Stann, Tim Kennedy, Chael Sonnen, Brock Lesnar, Forrest Griffin, etc. against the world.

Nogueira haters. Only on Tapology.

Fact is, the guy couldn't walk 4 months ago, then tonight he wins by knockout. Whether you guys wanted it to happen or not, or if you think Schuab would win a rematch doesn't matter. Nogueira pulled off something almost no one thought he could do. It's something to be celebrated and we, as his fans, are going to. There is no reason to come in here with your negativity. We get it, you guys like Schuab, and Nogueira sucks. Let us celebrate in peace, please.
