Who would you choose next for Shogun from this list?

**** conditioning ?
Ring/cage rust ?

 

Rua already beat Machida twice & the 2nd time he left him spark out, Machida III does not need to happen in the near future.

Henderson would be an interesting fight, I think Rua could be the 1st guy to knock Henderson out.

 

What expertise? That certain fighters are more prone to being knocked out than others. Well, their records are often indicative of that. Almost everyone on this forum knows that Forrest Griffin can be knocked out. We don't need you to tell us. We would know it without your help.

So can almost anyone on this forum. It's not rocket science. In fact, I think I'm better at judging a fighter's chin than you are.

Free educational service? You guys are more like Captain Obvious. And the wind you get from people isn't because you're pointing out something painful for them to accept(unless it's someone like morono). It's because it's the same goddamn thing over and over again. Redundancy exists in mma forums, it's irrefutable.

 

No, you have guys like Flash Jab, morono, Beekeeper, etc. that can't accept that their heroes have a fatal flaw in the Mandibular region and we let them know that they're wrong. We also predict Glass Jaws BEFORE they shatter and to prove my point on that, I'll be working on a Prospect Glass Jaw watch tonight.

And you got lucky on one pick. Both guys had abysmal Chins and your guy happened to win because his was a **** hair better. Also, I didn't pick that fight solely on Chin. Besides the fact that Nog is imminently KOable now, he's also a near ****ing cripple and I was banking on Schaub's "NFL athleticism" to blitz him early, as was nearly every professional pundit. Unfortunately, his boxing was too shitty to allow him to outspeed a guy that punches and moves like he's in jello.

I did not get lucky. I told you the only way Schaub could win is by being faster. Nogueira is better at everything. Boxing, wrestling, and obviously BJJ are all areas that Nogueira had a significant advantage over Schaub.

I told you why I thought Nog's chin was better. Nogueira was stopped by Mir and Cain. Both of those guys are hard hitters, and they caught him flush. That is not the same as getting ko'd by Roy Nelson. Arlovski was not ko'd by Nelson. You didn't want to listen to reason. You just wanted to assume that because Nog had been ko'd, his chin was done.

Also, look at how shitty Schaub looked against Cro Cop. Even at Nogueira's worst, he was able to defeat Sylvia and Herring in the UFC. Those guys would have handed any version of Schaub his head on a pike.

Oh, and better still, Schaub hits harder than Nogueira. Nogueira took a harder shot than Schaub in that bout, and kept standing. Schaub was ko'd by a weaker blow than Nog stood up too. That is even more proof that Nog has a better chin than Schaub.
