"I got home, put the kids in the bath and thought, you know, I'm going to have that beer now. I cracked the beer, had about two sips, then a Virginia number pops up on my phone. It's Joe Silva. I was like, well, I guess I'm not going to be able to finish this beer. At this point in my career, I don't really care who I fight. I just want to be tested. And Little Nog, you know, he'll definitely test me. What the heck. I'm thinking, co-main event in Vegas? Sign me up. Just like in my other fights, I'm going to come right at him. I'm going to worry about his game, but I'm not going to deviate from my game to accommodate him. I'm going to throw my game plan out there. If it works, great. If it doesn't, well, I haven't thought that far."
Late replacement Jason Brilz talks to MMA Fighting about filling in for the injured Forrest Griffin at the upcoming UFC 114 event on May 29 in Las Vegas. The Nebraska-based fighter has compiled an impressive 18-2-1 record and has notable wins over veterans such as Jason MacDonald, Alex Schoenauer and Tim Boetsch, among others. Is it enough to prepare him for the hands (and jits) of "Lil' Nog?" Anyone thinking upset? Predictions, please.

There To Set Up Bigger Match Ups WithOut Derailing Contenders

How many contenders do they need?
We’re talking about the most stacked division in the UFC.

my thoughts exactly
At least Strikeforce has an excuse! Lol
3 SF title fight decisions is somehow "embarrassing garbage", but 3 UFC title fight decisions isn't?

last year maybe
3-4x? Hmm you should watch more closely. SF is averaging one every month now. And don’t pull the free fight night or vs crap, cause SF does challengers multi times a month as well for free.

So much for the UFC being about the best fighting the best
Ow all of the top contenders are protected so we don’t get to see great fights and instead end up with a bunch of mismatches then a title contender with a padded record main eventing a PPV. If I wanted to watch that sort of matchmaking I’d stick to boxing.

Get Over It
Everyone was booked. Lil Nog is a premier fighter that people wont want to fight on 3 weeks notice. All top guys are already booked. If you can find me a better fighter who isnt already scheduled who is willing to fight a top 5 LHW in the UFC then I would agree with you. But since you cant lets just be happy we get to watch him in action instead of him being on the shelf for any longer.

I'd rather they pull Lil Nog off the card and have him fight a top contender a month later than waste his time fighting a can
There’s no need for fights like this, they’re just a waste of everyone’s time. And what’s the excuse for matching Bones and Thiago with lesser opponents? The whole thing screams of protectionism and I don’t want to see it in the so-called Superbowl of MMA.

yea no shit, the ufc bills itself as the organization where "the best face the best"
yea and u also have luiz cain fighting a can on the shad/page undercard….the 205 division is way too stacked for everyone to be fighting cans…
the winner of shad/page will face the winner of mach/gun in probably september…but how the hell do you decide who the top contender to face the winner of that fight is if the top guys are fighting cans?
nogs
jones
thiago
bader
they should all be fighting each other over the next 2 months so the winners of those fights fight for the number 1 contender to face whoever is the champ in september,…
you know you're having some good sex when you start planning what you're gonna say in the 911 call afterwards...

Exactly
They’re doing the same thing at HW as well by not matching up Cain and JDS to determine a top contender. At this rate we’re going to end up with a bunch of mismatches and 4 number one contenders for the belt at the same time. That’s horrific matchmaking.

i side with Hella and David on this one
Makes no sense that I have to watch 3 or 4 one sided fights where we more than likely know the outcome of the fights. I want some bloody drama here! Let’s have some REAL #1 contenders. A win over what’s his name, and who’s his face isn’t the proper way IMO.

i like Brilz attitude better then his chances.
If Russia attacked Turkey from the rear, Do you think Greece would help?
yep
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
Pretty much makes me hate the guy on that alone..............
Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.

Sometimes The Most Dangerous Opponents
Are the ones who have nothing to lose. Who gave Forrest a chance vs Rua. I Didnt. Who gave Serra a chance to beat GSP and hell who gave Frankie the Chance to upset Penn?
Guys who go in there with nothing to lose and leaves it all in the cage can be some very dangerous guys.
True
Though to be fair, I don’t really think Frankie won that fight.
But yeah, Brilz is decent this could be a big upset.
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
The Scorecards are what Count
Because mine said BJ won too however we dont count. Underdogs especially ones that are considered gimme fighters often come in with a chip on their shoulder

and dont forget the one last second change that took down an entire organization

He Wont
But the fact is if Nog takes this lightly and just comes in thinking Ill demolish this guy then I can see bad things happening. A ugly split decision for Lil Nog is good as a loss in my opinion.

I don't think anyone who's lost to Sokoudjou
Is going to take anyone lightly ever again.
Anderson Silva will fall via brutal Republican dry-humping.
hey...strikerdave mentioned this guy the other day
In the thiago silva vs tim boetsch(spelling?) Thread…what’re the odds…lol
You just get that sucker to the designated place at the designated time, and I will gladly designate his ass... for DISMEMBERMENT!
by salamagogo on May 5, 2010 4:49 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
He's not bad
He’s beat some decent guys, but this is a huge step up in competition.
Well if he fights well at least it will put him on more peoples radars, so win-win for him.
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
guess who im throwing 25.00 down on? :)
Odd should rule. C’mon miracle man! Why couldn’t he finish that beer again? Man a beer only has 85 calories on average. The average Gatorade has 130. I don’t FULLY get the bad rep beer has.

This is like a throw back to the Tank Abbott days. “Yeah I was just drinking a beer when the UFC called me in to replace someone.”
Only Tank finished that beer, then finished his own

Anbody think he looks a little like Quagmire from Family Guy?
I hope he beats Lil Nog, but I know the deal. Really I just want all of the Nog brothers nut huggers on this site to cry themselves to sleep.
Laughed at the Quagmire lookalike comment
Shook my head at the rest as I’m a proud Nogs nuthugger.
