haha sweet
We both have taken BJJ as of late, and plan on doing some kind of striking soon.
what kind of fighting do you do ?
fully agree, the fight id pay big money to c would be fedor v lesnar, but that wont ever happen, so carwin definitely the next best
Good job fellas, just subscribed. I agree with all your pics exept for Jardine, hes gonna get knocked out cold due to some vicious ground and pound!
Thanks for the kind words. We’re from Ohio and live near Dayton.
hey, u guys do GREAT job! u seem to know ur stuff and u present urselves very well! u guys have great points and i am hooked…lol i am also subscribing, just curious….where are u guys from? wat state?
Thanks man, we appreciate it.
I like you guys, you guys do a good job. Very MMA knowlegdable for young men. Im gonna subscribe!
when it comes to Nog, you can’t really take his younger age as a factor because of all the punishment he has taken over the years, it takes its toll on the body, same as Wanderlei
Little off to say that Leites beat Marquardt considering it was the point deduction that gave Leites the win. Marquardt is going to maul Maia. Vera via KO, Jardine via UD, Nogueria via SD
Shane Carwin is your best bet to drop Lesnar.
I have a tendency to listen to my heart instead of my head, but I’m goin with Nog. That could be because I still think he’s the one best shot we all have to resolve the Lesnar problem. Of course, Dana White and his investment banker probably wouldn’t call it a problem.
But he does have that top game that is very similar to lay and pray. He just usually finishes it with a kimura.
The Polish Experiment has 18 wins, 15 of those wins were finished with 1 decision and 2 DQ’s for his opponents. I don’t know if that’s a lay and pray style.
Ya that is true, i personally had a hard time picking this because both guys were legends in the sport. I think if Nog subs or dominates couture he should get a shot at lesnar at some point.
True enough, Nog has been put through the “ringer” and age is catching up to Couture. I’m just hoping to see a great classic fight where neither looks bad, but if I have to choose, I’ll give the slightest edge to Couture, by decision. A few days ago, the line was Couture -200 and Nog +160. Today, its Couture -180 and Nog +150, so although Couture is still the money favorite, its getting closer. If Nog wins and and shows well, will there be a Nog vs. Lesnar in the future?
Ya but Nog has had a very long fight carreer. This will be his 39th fight, and nog has taken a ton of damage over the years and who knows how much his body can take, because we all know he has the heart of 10 men.
Nog is listed at 33 years old (if its actually true), Couture at 46 years. Not sure that Nog is “at the end of his career” just yet. I agree that Nog is bit under-rated going up against Couture, simply because Nog did so poorly against Mir. There are some interesting fights on this card, hopefully it turns out to be a good one. Great video, I always tune into your UFC stuff.
