Quoteworthy:
"My whole game plan was to go out and perform. I had a chance to finish the fight and I didn’t, so it is what it is. I’m not too worried about it. If you leave it up to the judges, that’s what happens. I’m just going to have to start finishing fights, I guess. They said I’ll be back. Joe Silva said before the fight, ‘You’re doing me a favor here, thanks very much and no matter what happens you’ll be back.’ I’m just going to continue to do my thing. It’s been working pretty good for me. I think with every fight I’ve had in the UFC, I’ve gotten better. I’m not the best guy at any one discipline, even at my gym, so I’m constantly learning and picking up new things. I’ll be back bigger, stronger, faster next time and more technical. I’ve got the guys who know how to do it, they won’t let me slack and it will be fun."
UFC 114 wunderkind Jason Brilz keeps his chin up after a questionable split decision loss handed down by judges in his light heavyweight battle with former PRIDE star Antonio Rogerio Nogueira back on May 29. Brilz seemed to get the better of "Minotoro" and won over the fans with his gritty performance after filling in for an injured Forrest Griffin. Where does he go from here? Fantasy matchmakers let's hear your picks.

My guess is that he'll fight Tito
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.
He would own Tito!
I can’t believe Rashad ‘Sugad’ all over Rampage at 114. Quittin Jackson was a bad choice from the start and I think he needs to now consider retirement. Fedor too!
BZ – 2 Freenow82 – 0
Tito is going to be out a long while won't he?
Hopefully he will fight before then.
Brilz looked pretty solid again Lil Nog, I hope they give him another good/elite fighter. A fight againt a name like Vera would be nice, someone to add to his Resume.
Maybe he should fight the Snake?
They both looked great Saturday night and timing would be good. But Snake-Vera would be better…
Brilz should probably get the winner Jardine-Hamill.

i like that idea
Snake vs Vera
Brilz vs Hamill (guess who I got).
The REEM is REAL and Fedor will Fall. ~ Muwahahaha !
Vera would beat him, for sure. Brilz stand up is average at best and his wrestling is not all that. He’s not a new superstar.
So happy Rashad won! Rampage is now riding off into the sunset with another "faker" Tito Ortiz.
Actually I think he would dominate Vera on the ground easily and either submit him or get the decision.

Hey.. Roberto has a point
Yes her had a good showing against Lil Nog(who has weak takedown defense) but let’s not forget that Brilz has lost to Elliot Marshall not that long ago, and he’s no world beater.
Brilz deserves some respect, but it’s not like he’s a future champion. Him vs Vera would still be a fight I would like to see.
Ya I would like to see that too.
But Vera-Snake would be much more fun. Standup fireworks guaranteed.

After what he did to Lil Nog I don't think his confidence is lacking.

Jardine
Lol I swear, that’s always my answer. Poor guy.

Next headline will read
“UFC cuts Jason Brilz and others following UFC 114”
among others like Jesse Forbes, Dan Lauzon, Luiz Cane, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Next prediction -- Martin Kampmann submits Paulo Thiago
Counting down the days till Shogun vs Rogerio 2 (which now seems to have increased dramatically)
I'll use a line from Casino
“They ain’t sending Quinton nowhere!”
so whats the consensus?
Brillz better than we thought or nog going the way of his brother…starting to fade? Or a little bit of both maybe?

A bit of both. Unless Brilz racks up a few more wins and legitimately becomes a contender. Highly unlikely though..
"And where is the Batman? HE'S AT HOME, WASHING HIS TIGHTS!"
i think so too
Fighters reach primes and slow down at different rates..but lil nog is pretty much a genetic copy of his bro…they’ve both been in some wars…big nog maybe more so…but I think we are going to see lil nog slow down a bit as well..hope I’m wrong tho

Lil Nog Vs Forrest
Seems even more interesting now…I want to see that fight.
I don't. Brilz would own Forrest and so will Nog.

I told every1 brilz was the man but no1 wanted 2 believe me.
Has any1 seen him fight b4 th fight w/ lil nog?

I looked up a few of his fights beforehand
and was impressed enough to put him in a couple parlays with Bisping and Diabate. Was pretty devastated when that decision was announced, too. But he’s a solid guy all the way around, there should be some good matchups for him at LHW.
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
he made a fan out of me
I’d like to see him against Thiago Silva, Keith Jardine, and Jon Jones…not at the same time tho LOL

Agreed, throw him in there against Jardine
Jardine has become the official gatekeeper at 205, so that would be a good next step for Brilz. I don’t think he’s ready for a Bader or Thiago Silva yet, let him get past Jardine and then start upping the competition. I will say he put on a helluva fight against Lil Nog and had the entire crowd behind him, the boos were so loud after the decision was announced that you couldn’t even hear Rogan interviewing Nog!

I love this kid!
Doesn’t complain keeps his head up..
