The KO of prime Cop Cop seals the deal for me Mir by brutal submission (camel clutch) This content is protected
Oh yea whats the difference? Especially when the main skill in your arsenal (bjj) is desgined with the aspect of not fading with age... If you're a brawler your whole career then yes, your chin will fail you one day and bye bye reflexes, but when you have dedicated your life to brazilian jiujitsu, there is no excuse to be made. Nog got submitted by a better MMA grappler.
So cause Nog is a BJJ fighter, his reflexes are still sharpe because he never took punches........Have you even seen Nog's PRIDE fights fella?
Grappling like everything decays with age, otherwise the best grapplers in the world would be old men and not young guns like the Mendez bros, roger an Jacare!
There is a video floating around of Rickson Gracie schooling Roger Gracie in 2009.. Made him look like a Bluebelt.
Mir sub. A 32yo Mir against a 28yo Nog.. Are you kidding me? This thread has fanboy written all over it. Surprise, surprise.. Make Mir the elder and preach about the good ol' days Frank Mir was breaking Sylvia's arm in 2004, I'd like to vote on a poll with their 1st fight taking place in 2004.
