Bloody hell. I kinda' knew something like that was coming, but it still hurts. Hopefully Big Nog hangs it up after this.

[Rich]

Man I love me some Big Nog, but I am with you on that, it's hard to watch somebody you respect lose like that.

[EddieG]

After those 2 knockdowns, when he was standing by the fence, hands down, Nelson loading up the punch you could see exactly what was coming.

Time to say goodbye, Big Nog.

[Chris2K]

Yeah I'm with you guys. There are a lot of fighters taking too much damage to their already beaten up bodies, Nogueira is just one of a few who need to call it quits now.

[Liam]

Any idea as to what the betting odds on Nelson/Nog was?

I love me some Nelson, and really wasn't surprised by the outcome.

[Gazz]

Nelson was favourite, 8/11 when I looked.

[Liam]

Easy money if you had anything worth chucking on him, IMO.

[Rich]

he was consensus -150 favourite

[Liam]

Realistically, did Nog stand much of a chance? I mean, he seems to enjoy standing and trading punches, which was always going to play into Nelson's strengths.

[Cymbols]

If Nog survived the first two rounds, he could've won as he most likely has better cardio than Nelson and thus would've been better equipped to go 25 minutes in hot conditions. As an aside, Nog has apparently asked for one more match with Frank Mir before calling it quits. Bearing in mind he's 0-2 against him...

[Benjamin]

So Joey Beltran beat Matyushenko in The Janitor's retirement match :'(

[Benjamin]

So, Ronda Rousey vs. Alexis Davis for the title is on July 5th, UFC 175. I like that. Hopefully Zingano's okay to compete after that in the summer as well.

I'm all for having zingano fight in a nontitle fight, she has been through a lot with the injury and her husband passing away, let's give her a chance to be comfortable again in the cage

[Gazz]

Hold on, Ryan LaFlare is neither black nor Brazilian...

I didn't realize until today I get to see Tate/Carmouch for free! The other stuff looks great too. Looking forward to Saturday

[Benjamin]

I didn't realize that I forgot to put up the prediction card for Saturday Sorry guys!

My laziness is rubbing off on you.

Funny way to be lazy :/

[EddieG]

Any idea why MMA Fighting doesn't have a weight listed for Mark Bocek? That just an error on their part?
