Quote :

Brazil's SporTV is reporting that former UFC Light Heavyweight champ Rashad Evans and Brazilian legend Antonio "Little Nog" Rogerio Nogueira have verbally agreed to a bout to be held on February 2, 2013 on Super Bowl weekend. The UFC traditionally runs a big card in Las Vegas that weekend. Presumably it could be UFC 156 but that is assuming that there will not be a numbered UFC event in January following UFC 155 on December 29, 2012.

Kind of sucks the fight is so damn far away.

Kinda good but I am worried Shad will just wrestle fuck Nog.

Frankly I'd rather see Lil Nog vs. Rampage as a throw back to Pride.

Rashad Evans wins this. Why do they keep putting Lil Nog with wrestlers?

It's like they are trying to hold him back on purpose.

Joe Silva has a fetish for watching wreslters hump strikers.

What if lil Nog wins? Puts him in a good spot. Rashad is the highest ranked opponent out there. Big opportunity for lil Nog.

Very slim chance Lil Nog wins this.

I'd rather see Lil Nog fight Rampage, Rua or Gustafsson.

I think lil Nog has a chance. He has the better standup and he could possibly submit Rashad. He certainly has a chance to catch Rashad in the standup and finish with a sub. Lil Nog isn't a pushover, even for Rashad.

This is a waste.

He lost to Davis, Bader and barely beat Brilz. He ain't beating Evans.

Do you think he really lost all those fights?

good fight

The Nog brothers are the herpes of MMA. Neither guy has been a serious or real contender for a championship for years but they just wont go away. After Rashad beats lil nog down maybe he will retire. I only want to see him in good fights and this isn't one of them. Its just a waste of the fans time putting him in with a guy like shad.

Are you serious? Both Nogs have had some injuries that have set them back but they are both better then 80% of the people on roster in their weight class. Nog had Mir hurt badly before making a stupid mistake. If you look at the HW division there still aren't many people above him. Lil Nog completely outclassed Tito. He was the victim of some bad style matchups and some bad decisions. But he still has the skill set to be very entertaining and competitive. Why so much unwarranted hate? Herpes of MMA? Straight hater shit bra.

Can't write off either Noguiera, but I think Rashad should his way to a decision.

I shouldn't even explain myself since you used "completely outclassed Tito" in your argument. Both Nogs are still relevant and I love watching them fight if it is a good match up. This fight is not and Rashad will dominate him worse than he did Page, via humpfest. Nogs have a great following but I know that there time for contending at a UFC title is over. There is a big difference in fighting a top 5 and top 10 guy when it comes to either brother. He has a punchers chance and that's it. If he was fighting page, Gus, etc i wouldn't be so down. Fact is, lil nog doesn't have what it takes to make this a good fight because he isn't good enough or strong enough to keep Shad from doing what he does. Sorry that I'm not a pride fanboy and I know when to call it quits on a washed up fighter who is kept afloat because of one win in Japan and his big bro's name. Real talk brah!
