He went for a sub, he lost on the ground, had he had his chin cracked I would agree.
Nog being past prime had nothing to do with him losing that fight.

Sticking with current UFC fighters, I'd like Gustaffson Vs Shogun (assuming he gets past Matyushenko) Silva Vs Rampage once Silva is back from...
They need to put some up and comers against the established guard at LHW. None of the established guard are a threat to Bones at the moment....

Anyone can't be a top level MMA fighter. Most people could get licensed, as they could in boxing, but it's not like they're going to rock up in...
Silva is the third biggest draw in the UFC behind Brock and GSP.
He's an okay test for rising fighters. I would assume he's come back on less than he was on when he got released. Depends on game plan with him,...
