that's why i've never understood him being ranked anything below #2, aside from the 3 months between barnett fights.

and people have been talking about him being on the decline since long before the herring kick. the guy had two of his weaker performances back-to-back with fedor and ricco and everybody was labeling him as "washed up," but then he literally came back strong against crocop.

everybody thought he was figured out on the ground, and he makes it to the semifinals of the hwgp with the anaconda.

sergei was a big dark horse in the tourney looking very dangerous on his feet and the ground and was undefeated. nog went toe-to-toe with sergei for a good portion of the fight and won a good decision.

his standup has also won him fights against barnett, werdum, and herring lately.


he's the best. well, number 2
