lil nog has terrible wrestling, and so does his brother. yes, i'm familiar they have black belts in GI judo, but that doesn't really mean much. if you can't transition it to mma, it's meaningless.

as far as wanderlei is concerned- the old wanderlei would have gotten killed by chuck. rushing in with his chin way up, he would have gotten the babalu treatment. you dont rush in with loopy punches and your chin pointed at the cieling against a counter puncher.

do you people not train any standup? any boxing? any muay thai?
Wtf since when do you have to make your opponent limp to have good leg kicks haha! Man the "old" Wanderlei went in against Cro Cop and Mark Hunt(he won imo). Your talking shite and splitting hairs looking for any reason to diminish Shogun as a fighter. The guys that made up excuses were annoying but fuck whats wrong with you are you just looking for attention. troll job.
