    Decent bout. Both guys coming off of devastating losses. Nog trys to say he was ill so we gave him a by but in hindsight it could just be age. Mir says he is going to back to 245 and who better than to do that against Nog where his boxing worked so well last time.

    Lil Nog vs Bader on the undercard should be a rock em and sock em bout. Serra and Lytle are improved fighters so that match should be decent.

    Unless I was comfortable it would be hard to part with $60 for this card. Good card but not outstanding.

    Nogueira is not that old at 34 and loosing some speed is not vital for BJJ, but he took a lot of punishment in his career (especially from Fedor). Let's see if he still has it. I wish him luck.

    weak main event

    who was asking for this rematch?

    They should have put together something like

    Mir vs Crocop
    Gonzaga vs Nog
    Lil Nog vs Bader

    Make up for no main event with more good fights..

    I like the other fights by why this ? Before everyone used that excuse for Nogueira being his staph infection why Mir beat him so badly but then we saw the Cain fight and then everyone knew no its that Nogueira is shot or very close to it. The first fight was not competitive in the slightest and it does nothing to help either guy. This is the UFC Heavyweights divison not like they have 3 fighters they have plenty of guys these 2 could fight. Mir could fight Gonzaga and Nog could fight CC agian or maybe Carwin.
