PLZ not Big Nog vs. Werdum

Everyone knows that Werdum's recent controversial win over The Truth Vera lines him up for a title shot with fellow Brazilian Big Nog. I only hope that this fight will not happen for three reasons.

1. They are both Brazilian fighters and we all know Brazilians only like to train together not fight one another professionally.

2. Their last match was probably the most boring PRIDE fight ever with Big Nog getting the decision.

3. Being BJJ black belts we all hope and pray that this match doesn't end up being on the ground for five rounds with no yellow cards in the UFC, this calls for a ton of LnP.

Knowing Dana's fight-staging ass, hopefully this match won't happen cause I can only predict this would be a boring ass-match all in for the promotion and most importantly the money. If and when it does happen, I hope Big Nog gets a sub or TKO's Werdum within the third round or so, if not, be prepared for the first five-round championship decision we've seen in a while.

I'm guilty of liking technical grappling at the level that these two guys are at. So I'm hoping for this fight.

It seems like they are the two best guys in the UFC so it seems fair that they fight. So I'm gonna have to disagree on this one.

That match up would have to be free on televesion, because I dont see it drawing to much money at all. But as a fan of both men, I would love to see a rematch for the UFC title. I honestly dont see why Mir is getting a shot, Kongo or Werdum should have been before him.

1. what??!?!
2. their first fight was a great fight. very entertaining.
3. are you joking? they would probably strike with each other first of all but if it did hit the ground it would be great to watch such talented grapplers go at it.

EPIC FAIL

Huh? That fight was great if you like BJJ. Now if you donīt like BJJ, I can see why it was boring to you.. but then again, why the fuck would you watch MMA if you donīt like BJJ?

Their first fight was kind of dull, actually. Nog doesn't want to hit the ground with Werdum because they both know Werdum has the better bjj, so what we will see is a mediocre boxing match, with Nog winning by decision 80% of the time, and Werdum by some sort of head kick / lucky shot tko 20% of the time (percentages may vary, depending on how much better you think Werdum's striking has gotten). IF Werdum can work some takedowns, and then work out of Nog's closed guard before the inevitable standup, then we could have some fireworks on the mat, but otherwise, I predict an Arlovski-Werdum type of fight.

And lol at the people claiming the first fight was a great bjj fight, and that the people who didn't like it are bjj haters. Just because bjj blackbelts are fighting doesn't mean it's a bjj fight. Nog backed out of guard 4 or 5 times in that fight, and refused to enter it after several knockdowns. There was very little ground action, and almost no bjj.
