    Bit of a meh card. Do not understand why the Big Nog/Mir II is being made. The first fight was a beatdown. Nog should probably be retiring. As for Lil Nog, I don't really know where he is at the moment. He looked shite in his last bout but destroyed Cane so I'm not too sure. Guess we'll find out. Decent match up nonetheless.

    Interesting signing in Mark Hunt, but I don't know how he'll make the 265lbs limit. I don't believe he ever has, but he is entertaining so it will be quite interesting to see him in the octagon.

    What is the point of Nog - Mir II?

    Dana doing his bit for the enviroment?

    Nog has no punch resistance so this'll be another first round KO for Mir.

    The first one wasn't a first round KO.

    I'm not sure what to make of Nog. He looked like his reflexes were totally shot against Mir, then looked really REALLY good against Couture, then shot again against CV. People can say that Couture is old, but he's not THAT old and Nog whipped him standing and totally outgrappled him. Weird. I think we'll know in the first thirty seconds of the fight if Nog is going to get KO'd again. You could tell by the way he reacted to the first hook CV threw that he was in deep ****.

    And this shouldn't be the main event. They should find something a little better. Decent card otherwise though.

    Also I thought the last time he tried to get a visa to fight in America he couldn't because of a bar fight or something. Anyone remember/know about that? Obviously its worked out if the UFC signed him.
