Quoteworthy:
"I guarantee that I'm going to give (Ryan Bader) his first loss of his career. It would be very gratifying for me to show my fans a great show and knock out Bader the same way I knocked out Luis Cane. Bader is a new guy, he wants to establish himself in the rankings. I'm an older guy. With more experience and my experience will work in my favor, and help me beat Bader in this fight. He definitely has a lot more experience in wrestling that I do. But I think what I'm missing in my wrestling game he is missing in his jiu-jitsu game on the ground. So I think if he takes the fight to the ground he is going to get caught. So it's probably wiser for him to keep the fight standing up."
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira could have an opportunity to prove he's able to hang with high-caliber wrestlers when he tangles with Ryan Bader at UFC 119 in Indianapolis. There were more than a few lingering questions following his last performance, a controversial split decision victory over the very game Jason Brilz back at UFC 114. "Minotoro" was controlled on his feet and on the ground but managed to weather the storm and come out ahead on points. It was a surprising follow-up to a dominating debut over Luis Arthur Cane last November but one he could erase from the fan's memories by stopping "Darth." Yay or nay?

Lil Nog may not be like his twin bro
but he still have more than enough skill to put him away. I think the last fight threw him off due to the late replacement – i doubt he was training balls out for Forrest….probly expected to blow his chin away with the first shot. (Still though all the props to Brilz who was very underrated due to a couple of boring fights.)

Valid points
I think Bader is durable, hits hard, and has the wrestling to control the pace and placement of this fight.

Tired of hearing this excuse about the opponent change. With the nogs its always one excuse after another. Since when is the person who has had a full training camp at a disadvantage to the person who had a week-long training camp???
Chael Sonnen: Last time I defeated the myth, this time I'll defeat the man.
So...hyped...
Exactly.
Bottom line is Nog couldn’t deal with Brilz. Bader is a bigger, stonger version on Brilz with KO power. Bader takes this.
To be the best you gotta be one crazy son of a bitch…and that’s the truth - BJ Penn
Great post Frost!! I don't fn get that either!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
it musta messed with his miiiind man
That’s like, mentally draining, hence the poor performance (sarcasm). You’re right…I tire of excuses and want bader to show(or reinforce,rather) the world the truth..that the nogs are past their prime.

its not like its a 1000 different excuses
its the same one that everyone debates over. if anyone has ever seen how Lil Nog fights, then they should realize that he didn’t perform a bit to his potential, and the logical reasoning of why he didn’t sits right in front of us.
Gun vs Nog next year!
I should never have doubted the wisdom of David W-S or the talent of Junior Dos Santos…and screw Dana White
LATE TAKEDOWN FTW
They also made excuses after the Soko fight. And big Nog for the Mir fight and basically every UFC fight now.

So...hyped...
?
what other fight did Big Nog make an excuse for? He said that cain showed up as the better fighter and landed first. As far as the soko fight, the universal consensus was that he got caught……..i think it’s normal for people to make excuses in the biggest upset in mma history (betting line wise). Just sayin

Yeah, Brilz has a very good record really - underrated.
And he beat Rogerio, not his fault the judges were the same ones from Bisping/Hamill and Bones Jones’ “loss”… I kinda like Brilz even though his style is what I despise – I guess it’s because he’s pretty game with it rather than just content to hug.
Bones got DQ'd...judges had nothing to do with it.

haha was typing out the exact same thing
BJ Penn is the biggest waste of talent in MMA history. Like usual, my pick was wrong and I blame a certain pudgy Hawaiin for my own short comings when it comes to talent selection. As it stands BZ – 3 Freenow82 – 1.
Yes he did...
But it was farcical – no warnings and it wasn’t the blow that ended the fight, it was Hamill’s shoulder.
It was a stretch of bad judging I admit but I couldn’t remember any of the other robberies while I was typing ;D
Blame Mazzagatti for the call he's the jackass that does not provide fighters with a warning.

Was he the ref that was trying to talk to a "blind" and deaf Matt Hamill?

Nog will not sub Bader!
Nog lost his last fight (fn retarded judges) and will lose this one! Both Nog’s are fn scum!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
Little nog is even more overrated than big nog
Both are garbage fighters now and I enjoy watching them take a beating.

bader is a better wrestler than brilz and both have cardio problems but so did lil nog vs brilz.
my money is on bader.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez. Womens MMA, the next big thing in sports. Utah and Boise take care of business in week one. Don't be surprised if they both go undefeated.

Nay.
Bader will be too strong.
Luckily, Bader doesn’t subscribe to the John Fitch ‘fighting’ method so it should be watchable.
I'm taking lil nog on this 1. Seen bader standing up more in his fights.
Rewatched the fight with brilz & lil nog I thot it was a gr8 fight back & forth. Had nog winning 2-1. Brilz put up a hell of a fight & put a whoopin on nog in 2nd round. They giving each other props the whole fight I didn’t see were the nog’s disrespected @ all.

i think nog might pull it off too
big nog has baders inside scoop, im sure hes training lil bro pretty good for the fight, if that wasnt the case i would easily pick bader, i like bader and hope he does pull it off but i think nog will be ready for him, im expecting sweeps.

I got Bader by UD
Ryan could pull a late GnP TKO (dude has a lot of power in those hands) but what Lil Nog has been finished twice? I see Bader hanging on the feet and hold top position to win the rounds.

I wonder if he knows what "guarentee" means
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.
A formal promise or assurance that certain conditions will be fulfilled?
Something that gives a certainty of outcome?
Nothing wrong with guaranteeing a win in my opinion.

you rarely make sense

At least sometimes I do.
I kinda miss the days when you actually contributed to conversations and talked about MMA, instead of just throwing out things like above. You even managed to misspell the guarantee in that one-line comment while saying LilNog might not know what it means.

Where did I say I didn't know what it meant? Where did I ask for a def?
Where did I say there was anything wrong with it? It was a smartass remark and should be left at that. I don’t need your commentary.

you broke rule #17b.
but ok, I will leave you alone now.

Goooo Bader
Knock this idiot the fuck out please.
The fans (and probably Brilz :D) wants to see it.
by Lester The Pimp on Sep 10, 2010 1:19 PM EDT reply actions
haha, I definitely wanna see that.
But Brilz might not, because then his controversial decision loss would have come against a guy who got owned in his next fight, instead of a guy who might be one of the next in line for a title shot.

thats true
But I’m sure he would take some pleasure in seeing him beat badly…a guy that won basically because of his name….at their rate the nog name is gonna be about as feared as the name liddell in ohhh…I’d say lil over a year, year and a half tops

I hope BigNog can get another run started, the man is a legend and I will always be a fan.
But since LilNog said in the post-Brilz press conference that he thought he won the fight, I lost all respect for him. I hope Bader destroys him.

yep...the 2 bros are very skilled indeed
But their days are numbered and I feel like bader is gonna put a whoopin on mini nog

Nog lost to Brilz
I don’t care what those “judges” saw. Bader > Brilz. I like Nog, but I don’t see how he out BJJ’s Bader’s wrestling. He will get taken down and GnP’d into unconsciousness.
Bader Dominates Lil Nog
And makes Rogerio look like a fool for saying such things. The force is not as strong with Lil Nog as it is with Darth Bader.
Shogun's knee will explode for the final time when Rashad shoots for the takedown.
plus i think any decision goes to bader if its close b/c the ufc would want 12-0 bader vs jon jones.
