    Now this may seem a bit quick as he has only just lost, but does anyone else think that Minotauro should seriously think about retiring.

    The man is a warrior and has taken more of a beating over the course of his career than anyone else i can think of. He looks shot. Plus when your getting dropped three times by a someone like Frank Mir, you know it's time to hang em up.

    It's time. Nog has had his hands full in his last few fights. Excellent career and no need to fight on.

    Reality check...Nogueira should've retired in 2005...His rematch vs Barnett would've been a perfect way to finish his career..but he kept on going , and going...

    He looked like DLH, too slow and old to react to any of the punches. It's odd how Rogan never brought that up.

    I;d say M ir was working on his standup. He looked better than I can ever remember. I was really sad to see Nog lose....

    Yes, he needs to retire along with Wand.

    Good job by Mir realizing that if he could beat Nog in the standup that there ground games would nulify each other. That's the best Mir we have seen so far.

    Nog needs the money and platform the UFC gives him, millions more people know of him because of the UFC, you don't always win to make more money and this will be his pension plan.

    Couture by KO round 2
    could be nice for COuture to retire on a victory, even on a shot Nog
