Luis Cane next fight likely against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 106 on Nov. 21 (Updated)

he is a hit.

NO, Li’l Nog’s gonna get hit!

yeah and so is cane.

this one is going to be a three round brawl! cannot f’ing wait for this

this is a dream fight for me!!!

Nice match up imo. Nobody has any easy fights coming up.

This is great matchmaking. Cane wins what can only be a great fight

YOu brits need to stop crying. This is a damn good fight. Biping/Kang will be interesting. If they can put together Nate/Hendo, the card will be awesome!

hell yeah this is a beautifully matched fight and i think lil nog will win by third round tko. cantwell showed its not impossible to hurt cane and lil nog will get the job done. but the best part is this fight is free!!!!!!!!!!

I feel bad that the Brit ans are getting shafted again. Banha/Nog should headline UFC 105 in the UK, instead of being the 3rd biggest fight on the UFc106 card. What a joke!, I really feel for you Brits!

Man i like both these guys. I am going with Lil Nog though. He gonna take him down and sub him. He also has better hands.

Im with you NNR! Im a big fan of both fighters but Nog’s hands are sharp and wont be overwhelmed by Banha’s ruthless stand up…the difference will be on the ground where Nog is just too good for Banha!

He sure does know his sh*t, shugun forever?

I called this fight as soon as Little Nog was announced to be coming to the UFC. Nog will have a tough time trying to peel the Banana!

Just read that Hendo/Marquardt is DEFINITELY in the works for the headliner at this event. That should settle down all the whining Brits. ;-)

Other fights that I predict will be booked for upcoming events:

Hughes/Swick – 108?
Griffin/T.Silva – 108?
A.Silva/Couture – 108?
St-Pierre/Kampmann – 109?
Big Nog/Velasquez (or Nog/Cro-Cop if CC beats Dos Santos) – 109?

i like those except nog vs cc, save that for only if needed i would rather see them both face poeple they haven’t fought and if they both keep winning and have to face each other do it than.

lol you would be whining to if you kept having to see recycled fights! not just that but these recycled fights aren’t like affliction type recycled, no i am talking about cage rage recycled

but yeah if they had marquardt/hendo i may even buy a ticket to this card

I’d be happy to get any decent fights within driving distance. Must be nice not having to shell out 60 bucks to watch a PPV either. A Li’l Nog/Cane and Bisping/Kang UFC card would sell out in five minutes here in Vancouver.

You guys may get watered-down cards but it’s not the UFC’s fault you don’t have any high-level homegrown fighters. Of course they’re going to put local talent on the UK cards. Appreciate the fact that the UFC is in your area every few months.

JJ we could see the same local fighters for a lot less money if the UFC didn’t come over here. If they advertise a UFC numbered card then they should put on fights that at least resemble their PPV cards, not a glorified Fight Night filled with the same local fighters all of the time. No complaints about Nog-Cane but you wouldn’t be impressed if poor Canadian fighters were always thrown onto UFC cards, I doubt that you’d be best pleased if Cote-Leben II was a main event in Vancouver.

i agree the lack of uk talent in mma!

but giving so many brits the home advantage is bad considering the talent we have

they should not have as many brits on the card as they do until we brits get better mma fighters

the two best brits on this card are bisping/hardy but would you really give them a chance at any top 5 in there division? do you think they are in the top 10 of there division? so when you see them fighters keep getting recycled and getting main events, it gets quite annoying!

and for you there is always the option of flying to the event, i have flew to america twice to watch cards, it was easier than driving 8 hours in a car to london like i did for the last event i went too and the cards are better too!

actually now that i am thinking about it, i may go to America to watch more UFC events rather than watching what would be a fight night card over in America

i am not calling this card a fight night card, in fact it is one of the vbest if they solidify hendo/marquardt but the majority of the cards over here are fight night quality

and as for us not paying 60 bucks (what is that like £30) for a ppv,well it will only be a matter of time but we do not pay that mainly because no one would buy it in England, the sport is not big enough yet over here

Just coz the UFC doesn’t go within 500miles of your house Double J, doesn’t mean we have to be grateful for any scraps the UFC throws us. As addict says you can always fly. That’s what I had to do for 100 in Vegas coz I was sick to death of inferior quality shows here in the UK.

Why have they got to put “local talent on UK cards”??

The UFC went to Germany – Two Germans on the card.
The UFC went to Ireland – One Irishman on the card
UFC 105 – NINE Brits on the card!!!

Why is that acceptable for us to have our card filled with average local ahum “talent” and not for other countries? As addict says we just dont have enough top quality fighters in this country to justify such high numbers.

Jesus, the UFC is supposed to be going to Australia next year, they’re a former British colony. I hope they aren’t treated the same way we are or they can look forward to a main event of Elvis Sinosic vs Crocodile Dundee!

I hate to inform you guys but there is no way in hell we get both Lil Nog vs Cane and Nate vs Hendo. There are eleven fights already booked for this show and that would bring the total number of fights to thirteen. Even with the absence of a title fight that is too many. We can expect one not both.

Ufcaddict: “and as for us not paying 60 bucks (what is that like £30) for a ppv,well it will only be a matter of time but we do not pay that mainly because no one would buy it in England, the sport is not big enough yet over here”

That right there is why you dont get an of the UFC’s mega stars on the uK cards. Until Brits dont start forking over ppv money for UFC events, you wont get any mega stars on your cards. uk cards do real bad ppv #‘s in America, mainly because of the time delay and American ppv dollars is what drives the UFC. If the American public isnt buying ppv’s when an event takes place in the UK, and the Brits arent paying ppv dollars, why would any UFC Mega star that gets a percentage of the ppv revenue want to come fight in the UK?

Taking those things into consideration, you guys should feel fortunate that you are getting cards at all, every 4 months or so.

In fact, if the Hendo/Marquardt main event does get ironed out, this is the best free card since UFC 75, hands down.

Marquardt will get the biggest cheer of his life if he knocks-out hendo in britain no less!!1

Yeah, I don’t know about knocking him out, but I think he’ll beat him.

Gouveia/Belcher at UFC 107. Another main card basically complete.

JJ that would be a sick card though I’ve learnt not to get my hopes up, I’m getting my tickets tomorrow morning and I’d be very happy with Hendo-Nate and Lil Nog-Cane as main events, with Bisping, Hardy and Wilks on the undercard, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this fight ends up being the main event. Hopefully Hendo stops whining and takes this fight as the whole card depends on a great main event, he’ll probabaly get a mixed reaction as there are a lot of UK fans sick of Bisping, though I’ll definitely be cheering for Nate in this one.

As for Lil Nog-Cane this is a sick fight that suits both of them perfectly as Banha is getting a well deserved step-up in competition whilst Nog is getting a big fight immediately. I think that Nog will get a decision as he is too well rounded for Luis but you never know when big names make their UFC debut and Cane has legitimate punching power. This is the sort of fight that us UK fans have been asking for.

yeah! if jj’s prediction is true then 105 would be fuck*in sick for the UK fans…

id still be rooting for hendo though

war hendo
