I took Nog as well. Herman has a lot of stoppages via strikes but they aren't against anyone really notable. That along with the fact that he has been stopped in his last two by strikes leads to me taking Nog.
Is there a line on Herman's odds of being released after this fight?
I'm not making any wagers for two reasons. Nog is coming off an injury layoff, for starters, and two, I think Pee wee is obviously fighting for his job in this one.
This should make for a solid fight. I'm expecting Nogueria to put forth a good performance and catch Herman in some sort of submission to finish the fight.
Herman meant it isn't this amazing art that will crush anyone if you know just a little bit about bjj. The problem, nog is a world class sub artist. My gut tells me Herman is going to stop Nog, but that's all I've thought everytime nog fights anymore, then I remember Herman couldn't stop struve. Nog via sub.
Also the gullitone is a myth. I know Herman didn't say it but he's kind of just a larger version of ebersole.

Weird fight, Herman should be the obvious choice due to Nog's recent injury and the mileage he's clocked up... but you can't pick Herman because frankly he's just not very good.
Nog is still good and took out a young gun very impressively last time he fought in Brasil. War Nog.
Not only could Herman not stop Stuve, he was stopped by Struve and then turned around and got stopped by Nelson in his next fight. Herman is overrated.
I wouldn't have called this a fair fight till the weigh ins. Dave Herman is not all that he was cracked up to be pre-UFC but damn did Nog look old at the weigh ins.
Long lay off does not look like it was nice to Nog. I can't believe how much he has aged since the Mir fight. I hope for a win and then he announces his retirement from MMA.
That's actually P Diddy's 'Come With Me', but they both sound great haha.
