It should be a good battle of submission specialists, if it goes to the ground Mir could have Nogueira in trouble, I would keep it stand up if I’m Big Nog, use your boxing and mua thai rather using the mat.

i think Sam will likely post an update on the story given the new news that’s out there but Mir’s camp is looking to fight Kongo and did not seem too high on the idea of facing Nogueira. Here’s a link to my coverage:

This will be a good match up. Big Nog is Frank Mir but with all the skills and none of the hype. Stylistically, he is the same, just in a different league.

And when it comes to fighting Randy Couture, he matches up well with him also. That could be a doozy.

Nog almost got KO’ed by someone we was expected to roll over in his last fight. A lot of people I watched with thought the fight might have been stopped if it wasn’t Nog. In any case, I think this is a great fight. Mir is somewhat underrated now. I think Big Nog is in for a battle, and frankyl this is not a step down.

I want to see Nog win this fight standing. If you’ve got any aspirations of becoming champ you should really be dominating someone like Mir in the striking game.

Like #2 it’s punch combos all night.

I’m atleast happy that Nog doesn’t get a fast road to the title with the new talent in the division.

Nog is gonna keep it standing until Mir gasses, then he’ll light em up till Mir gives his back, then its curtains.
This is defintely a step down for Nog but at least it will increase is draw.
