Quoteworthy:
"It's set that he'll be back in September, and rumors point that his opponent might be Quinton Jackson. It'd be a great fight for Rogerio, he's a former UFC champion and a victory over him will move us pretty close to the title. The UFC only has top athletes and Quinton Jackson is really dangerous. He's a complete athlete, hard to be taken down. Who puts its own strategy on the fight will win, but we believe a lot on Rogerio's movement.. We'll work hard to get this victory. It'd be a great fight, but the UFC didn't confirm anything yet."
Now 2-0 in the UFC light heavyweight division, former PRIDE standout Antonio Rogerio Nogueira sets his sights on the major players in the 205-pound division, starting with former division kingpin Quinton Jackson. Despite struggling in his split decision win over Jason Brilz at UFC 114 back in May, "Minotoro" holds wins over Dan Henderson and Alistair Overeem (twice). Is "Rampage" going to be the next high profile name on that list? Or did his May 29 troubles against "The Hitman" convince you that "Lil' Nog" may be on a possible downturn -- like his heavyweight twin brother?

Good fight
Both guys are very talented and had great runs in Pride but never faced so this fight is overdue. They both looked poor in their last fight so it makes sense matching them up. Hopefully Machida will get a big fight as well though, maybe he’ll get Bones if he destroys Vlad.

Great match up. Based on Lil Nog's lack of head movement I see Page giving him some Nyquil. Buenas noches, Lil Nog.

Little head movement but he jabs, is a southpaw and has a way better training camp.
I seriously don’t think he took forrest seriously and probly had an anderson given easy gameplan which got blown out when the fight went down. I do give Rampage the advantage but i gotta support anyone related to Big Nog so no choice here.

When you jab with little head movement you leave yourself open to a counter hook. Good night, Lil Nog.

Great matchup!!!
My only problem with this match is that I really like both of these guys and don’t want to see iether of them lose.
Good fight
Great fight, but does a win over Rampage,(if it happens),shoot him to the top? I know Minotoro has won fights against very big names, but I would aim higher… Sorry Rampage..
Remember...
If it wasn’t for the judges Lil Nog wouldn’t be even in the picture anymore. Lucky bastard lol. I wish he faced Shogun by some fluke right after and with his piss ass performance he would of gotten rapped! Oh well :P

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.
agreed...waaay better. Especially if your a Page fan like me

this is a calssic zuffa match-up where 2 stars look bad so guarentee one of them a win… i like it…
I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall.

If this fight happens,
I fully expect to see Rampage pull off his famous “Ghetto-Blaster” power slam! I don’t think Lil’ Nog can deal with his strength!

War lil Nog!!! Either way I hope page gets machida after.
U guys that think page can outbox lil nog are crazy! Soku was a differnt story no1 knew who the hell he was at the time & evry1 knows lil nog will kill him in a rematch.

I hope this doesnt mean machida gets griffin
Thats a freewin for machida and freewins sucks.
machida should get jones next.
by Lester The Pimp on Jun 30, 2010 9:45 PM EDT reply actions
Franklins supposed to be getting Griffin next
Machida-Bones would make sense at this point.
