    If you could take CroCop kicks and now you can't take 2 jabs from Mir without falling down you should retire.

    Yep, Nog has got to get out of the game. He looked so beat up and arthritic in the octagon on Saturday night.
    He's got a long career ahead of him as a teacher/trainer, so there's no shame retiring now.

    Nog got up stumbling around he was out of it.

    If you look closely, he still had enough wits about him to prevent Mir from gaining side mount/mount, Im not saying that he would have survived the remainder of the round but Ive seen him worse & his history should have been taken into account as a survivor especially as I already said - Nog`s gaurd wasnt even fully past by Mir.

    It wasnt the worst stoppage Ive seen, maybe as Nog is my fav fighter, I didnt want to see him get stopped but at least wait until Mir gets past his guard were Nog wont have a chance to properly defend himself.

    The guy is a warrior & this is how he makes his living, he should be given FULL benefit vs ANYONE for what he has done in MMA.
