1)Having watched their recent fight it was clear once again that Nog is superior in every department but the early knockdown that flattened Nog could have been the end of the fight if Herring had had better conditioning, when he had the chance to jump on Nog and finish him he had absolutly nothing left in him so let Nog up. What a giant mistak Herring made not coming in in better condition, the fluke kick could have sent him way up the hw charts but instead he snt the rest of the fight just hanging in and will probarly slowly disappear. 2)How can anyone think that sherk did not completely dominate franca. Apart from a couple of knee's franca was not in the fight. 3) Both Sherk and Franca showed amazing chins when caught, I can not think of many other fighters who could carry on after been caught in the manner they did, and going on to win convincingly, thats cool.
I thought Franca got a couple of decent knee's in that connected good and the early sub attempt was close but Sherk proved that he is a beast, he contolled most of the fight with brute strength that franca had no answer for and an amazing chin. Franca is decent and may have beaten just about any other fighter with those knee's but Sherk who i was no particular fan of is on a different level. Nog will take some stopping now he's had that littlwake up call. I still think that if Herring had had better conditoning the fight may have been stopped, Nog was down and dazed but Herring could not get himself into a decent position to finish it.
First of all, he had him in full guard. Second, as i've stated before, it wasn't a FULL guillotine. He had an arm and a neck. Its REALLY hard to choke anyone out with that especially someone with a huge neck like Sherk's. The reason its hard to choke someone when they have an arm is because you can defend with that arm. He was tiring Sherk, but he was NEVER gona submit him with that guillotine.
Or maybe the pies franca ate did'nt. Im glad that actually been an athelete helps in the sport instead of just been a bunch of fat kids winning.
