***OFFICIAL*** Rashad Evans vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Thread
 

'Shad easy 30-27 UD.

Rashad should win this handily. But Nog has some tools to get it done. Rashad is too much of a vet at this point though.

Rashad UD

What a terrible fight. Why do the UFC insist on torturing lil nog with wrestler after wrestler?! When can this guy catch a break for crying out loud.

Yea never understood it. He could be an exciting asset to the division. Instead they give him wrestlers. Shogun 2, Hendo, Gustaf, Rampage would all be fun fights. If you want to give him a wrestler, give him Sonnen.

Rashad, hopefully by TKO round 2.

I am picking Rashad but I hope he loses. I think it will take some loses to convince him to go to 185 where he would probably instantly be a beast. He has been very successful at 205, but I think he would be at his best at 185.

They said last night they're "waiting on something" before they announce Anderson's next fight and they should announce it in the next few days.

Weidman Hurt + Rockhold/Belfort + Rashad win = Anderson vs. Rashad at 185.

Lets see they gave him Banha and the UFC got a KO from Lil Nog. Then they flipped the script and gave em The Hitman as a replacement, followed by Darth, and then Mr. Wonderful. I think they wanted to give The Huntington Beach Badboy a nice comeback fight, but he was one wrestler that didn't do so well. Now, surprise...surprise...another wrestler.

Sugar for the UD.

No idea for that. Sugar via UD sounds fair, but Lil Nog has pretty decent boxing and ground. Dunno.

I don't know why ppl get so confident Rashad will be a threat to Anderson in any weight, after what Lyoto did to him.
I would like to see it anyway.
