Herring Vs. Nogueira WHY WHY WHY?
So I had finally checked the UFC® 73: STACKED line up and WHY???
Do UFC match makers think we didn't see their previous fights? I just don't see how is this going to be any different from their fights in Pride. Minotauro will still either pull a decision or will sub Herring.
Does that mean UFC is interested in Herring only as a gatekeeper and never a contender? Why put two Pride fighters to fight each other, especially if they have fought before and the score is 2:0.
I am just so pissed! What do u guys think?

3 reasons why this fight is happening:
1) McCully was rumoured that he was offered the fight and refused
2) Herring asked for this fight
3) Like the first two fights, this one should be exciting as well (most casual fans didnt see the first two)

Hayato "Mach" Sakurai vs BJ Penn. I would die happy if this ever happened.
BJ Penn is King of the Lightweights

Why? Because after watching Cro Cop, Chuck, GSP, Lil Nog, Arona, Wandy, Babalu, Sylvia, Jardine, and Herring himself get upset they are taking no chances with Big Nog. He should have no problem with Herring and he will should be able to show off his jiu jitsu to the american public as well.
I think thats a good move on the part of the ufc. Nog is an investment for the ufc, a big one. Why put your investment in with Brandon Vera at his first fight? I wouldn't mind a couple easier matches for him so he can get acclumated with the ufc and build a following.

Herring's own style of Texas Jiu-Jitsu will be too much for Nog. Herring by flying bronco buck.

Do u think Herring has something in his arsenal that he could actually surprise Big Nog with?
I honestly not even sure if it'll be as exciting as their first two, cause Nog is getting into UFC, so he'll have to be careful, and KH will be careful as well, so he doesn't get a third loss against Nog and second loss in the UFC.
Oh, well, I guess time will tell.. still I don't think the outcome will be any different.
