UFC 134 Predictions

I just don't see a way Nog wins this... i've said this before but after the whooping Cain put on him I've lost all confidence in him... yeah he had a good fight against Couture, but it was Couture at 47. i say nog loses by tko and calls it quits in front of his home fans

Like mentioned before Schaub wasn't that impressive vs CC. If Nog is even close to healthy I think he has the advantage both standing and on the ground in this fight. Schaub will have to try to use his athletic ability to win the fight.

so if he wasn't that impressive against CC he'll suck against an even older and more useless Nog? i dont see it

Nog may be older but at this point he is still the better fighter. The year off to heal his body could turn out to be a good thing. Also I know he rushed his rehab which could come back to bite him but I actually think it might be a good thing since it kept him working hard and motivated.

Nog has been on the decline for a long time, and i think this fight proves it... he's been beaten on for too long

How do you figure Nog is more useless than CC?

I don't think we can call Nog shot just yet. He was KO'd when he was sick and shouldn't have been in the cage vs Mir and then again by a monster in Cain. In between that he didn't look too bad when he was fighting Randy. But like I said the year off could help him and I don't think Schaub will land that clean power shot he needs to put the Legend down. If he doesn't land that shot he won't win the fight IMO

Nog has looked worse than CC in his recent losses, and cc got knocked out in most of his fights... which makes it even worse! lol

Schaub is a young and fast athlete, he'll work the jab and counter anything Nog will throw at him.

yes, he looked good against RANDY! who stood there and traded with him, let's not get carried away here

Randy was a game opponent. Schaub is an up and comer, he isn't some unstoppable force by any means.

who said he was? but he'll do enough to beat up on a slow and aging Nog

Starting to waver a little bit on the Schaub/Nog fight. I really wasn't that impressed with Schaub vs CC and I think even a fading Nog has more left in the tank than Mirko at this point

Lol, that's my thoughts exactly.

Well the Nog that shows up will be a motivated and a rejuvenated Nog, so Schaub is SOL

Why is Randy even being brought up here? Randy was slow as hell in that fight, and Schaub isn't going to stand in one spot getting wailed on.

Just something interesting I read today that kind of goes with this.

He keeps getting everyone's weight for some reason (Big Nog is 242, Schaub is 240, Forrest is 216, Yushin is 89 kg or 196 lb, and Shogun is already on weight)

That's a nightmare not a dream

Brendan Schaub sucks. Nog looked old and slow and he still fucking put his ass away in the 1st round. L-O-L

Wolf must be devastated, yet he'd still pick both against Brock.

thank you rodrigo noguiera for having one good fight left in you especially in your "back yard" you made my night. other than that this card was about what i expected except for the cane vs russian fight because i didnt know much about stanislov

Schaub was landing some really good shots in that fight, he had Nog hurt i thought... Schaubs problem is his chin, he doesn't have one
