UFC, etc.

Strikeforce's Scott Coker just announced that Fedor's first opponent will be Brett Rogers. No date or venue was announced though, I think Coker is trying to avoid LIVE counter-programming from the UFC.

Damn, beat me to it. Rogers got my loyalty when he punked Kimbo. I'll be cheering for him.

I hope Grim kicks Fedors ass....

 

[sscalltheway]

Brett is going to need to do it quick. Swing for the ropes big man. Calling an upset NOW!!!

 

[915stag51]

I hope they make it happen soon...

lol Rogers would get KTFO in the first round by Fedor. He hasn't fought anyone even close to the same level yet and people are calling him the next great HW.

 

[bumblebee]

Rogers best shot is that Fedors long layoff between fights has got up to him. That said i'll be pulling for Rogers.

who is everyone rooting for, nog or randy?

 

[Devil_666]

Both!? I wouldn't mind seeing either win. But I guess I'd pick Big Nog because I'd like to see him fight Lesnar.

Dana White Confirms lil Nog is signed to the UFC
https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2009/08/ufc_102_an_interview_with_dana.html

Says it hasn't been officially announced yet, but the contract has already been signed. So no more speculation. Dana also says he REALLY wants Gegard Mousasi in the UFC.

 

[NASEDO]

I think NOG might be done. Theres alot of rumours he's been getting KO'd during sparing sessions. And he did look aweful against Mir. If this fight was 5 years ago I think Nog wins with ease. However, Randy didn't look too good against Lesner. Stange fight. But if the training rumours are true Randy shouldn't have a problem. I bet Randy trys to keep it standing.

 

[Devil_666]

I heard those rumors too. Nog supposedly had a staph infection or something during the Mir fight though. That might be why some people thought he looked like crap. Funny thing is, to me, he looked normal!? He's never been a dynamic striker. He's always been kinda slow with very little power using striking just to set up his ground attack. I thought Tim was beating Nog badly in the stand up until Nog pulled guard. And Tim isn't a dynamic striker either.

I think it'll be a good fight but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it went to decision (for Couture). I will say this though, Nog looks like he's in incredible shape. Lighter and more cut than when he fought Mir. Almost PRIDE shape.

 

[devlinboy]

I wouldnt mind seeing either win myself. but i am pulling for randy. Nog is cool with me too, but i think randy winning would just be more of a big deal in the future.

 

[occulum]

I think Randy will take nog pretty quick.
Nog just hasnt impressed me lately and it seems its time for him to become a fulltime trainer.

for some odd reason Id like to see Randy get another shot at Brock as well....

 

[915stag51]

Randy should win, Nog just looks too stiff, I think all those beatings he has taken in the wars he's been in finally caught up to him....

 

[kobayashi93]

Randy by decision imo. Grinding wrestling attack with good submission defense.

 

[devlinboy]

double ko !!

 

[bumblebee]

If they stand Randy, if they fight on the ground Nog.
