"I train harder when I'm fighting a striker, I really like training Muay Thai, Boxing. I guess I can do a good fight. I'm a good fighter in the end of the fights, I can hold my impulse and do better later, I was born a counter attacker and that's how I have greater chances to get the knockout. Tito Ortiz came to strike against me, and I got the knockout. Cane tried to stand-up and I got to knock him out. I can do a good fight against striker. It's not because I don't know wrestling. Yes, I'm actually a lot better defending the takedowns, after I left Pride I had to adjust because the rules and the cage are different. I guess I can fight anywhere, but I rather stand-up because fans dig the knockouts and I'm a fighter who likes giving the KO to the fans. I'll go for the knockout until the end, absolutely. I'm moving forward. I'll try to do a good fight to be in a good spot on this ranking. I'll go for the knockout and I'll stay among the top three of the division."
UFC light heavyweight contender Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (via Tatame.com), who rebounded from back-to-back decision losses to finish Tito Ortiz by technical knockout at UFC 140 last December, looks to continue his winning ways against hometown favorite Alexander Gustafsson when they hook 'em up in the main event of UFC on Fuel TV 2 on April 14 in Sweden. Anyone think the Brazilian is durable enough to get past one of the division's brightest young prospects? Let's hear some early predictions for the 205-pound slugfest in the comments section below.

Yeah I don't see the Alex finishing Nog on the feet or the ground (unless he's willing to snap a limb)
But who knows, maybe this is his coming out party in front of his home crowd
I actually thought he won
the 2nd & 3rd rds against bader…he stuffed a shit ton of takedowns & def landed the hardest shots, a cpl momentary takedowns for bader got him tho 2 rds….the 1st he most def won
top 3?
That’s a bit of a stretch…lower end of top 10 possibly, depending on who you ask.

Lil nog bragging about outstriking tito and cane? Smh

Lil Nog vs Rampage in Japan would have been amazing...
And he’s not bragging about outstriking them, he’s just saying when guys come to stand with him as opposed to wrasslin he will finish them…gosh, read it on context
so what he's really saying is he should take up boxing
He dropped 2 low ranking fighters and he brings that up to talk about his striking? Whether he’s bragging or not its silly

The Mauler's hand speed and reach will be too much for Nog.

we need Alexander to win to have a new 205 contender on a streak, I hate his floating pitbull dog head tattoo on his chest but he can strike.

It’s a wolf.. but yeah, some pretty ugly tattoos on that man.

I like that tattoo though he’s marking his mma record, the one unfilled in triangle is from his Phil Davis loss.
"When you believe in something and you're a good person...things happen" - Junior Dos Santos
Yeah, I like the concept of that one as well. Not a fan of the wolf head and the spade though, heh. But whatever, one of my favorite fighters for sure.

First fight I saw from Gustafsson
Kind of was a cheap shot though this was with in 1 sec. of touching gloves after an eye poke from Alexander.

Sig bet record 2-5, next up Cruz Jackson Diaz vs Condit, have Diaz
Kinda like how your Gunna lose this weekend to the faster, younger, better picker.
I’m pretty fuckin pumped for Saturday. I may even throw a bet down on Carlos what are the lines for this fight anyways?
Sig Bet:
4-2,
Condit over Diaz - Shivan"Diesel"Tiger

I could make some good money off this fight.
COndit looks better every fight in his UFC. So I’m very excited to see him whoop your boyfriends ass. Remember what that lightweight did to his face back at Elitexc? Ya Condits better than him. Your fucking dead you hear me! I’m Gunna come to your house and ruin your anus like Mr. Hands. Then you’ll be done and then ask me why Cruz, Why? And i’ll say make like Steve o and take this ale in your ass. Fag.
Sig Bet:
4-2,
Condit over Diaz - Shivan"Diesel"Tiger
by Cruz Jackson on Feb 1, 2012 2:39 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
If you are going to bet on Condit you will lose it.
If you don’t want your money, consider it donating it to some charity or give it to Condit so he can have his teeth put back in.
Team Sonnen!
**He's barely top 10.
If he was top 3 that would mean he’d be ranked higher than hendo, page, shogun, machida, and Davis. Gtfo.
by MMA Boss on Feb 1, 2012 12:30 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Yeah I thought the same thing when I read that.
Glad to know he’s always putting in his all… sometimes it shows.

i like lil nog but hes mainly name
Hi everyone! My name is nightmare and here are 3 things you should know about me!
1. I’m Goldmouth’s bitch and I should learn to stay in my place.
2. I know jack shit about mma.
3. I LOVE THE COCK!
Hope you guys feel like you know me a little better now. See Ya
2 week sig beat goldmouth/evans nightmare/davis
I think it might be hard
To train just as hard at things you arent as good at. I doubt he can train as long at wrestling without tiring. And when he gets to work his kicks and punches, he can put more time in. But, i hope he doesnt mean he slacks when he fights a wrestler. It would explain a lot.
