Hm... the pride fight actually was a razor close back and forth fight IIRC. Could've gone either way... and I think Lil Nog hasn't received that much punishment as his brother has (a few bouts with Fedor will do that to you lol) and in comparison to his brother he actually really has quite nice boxing. He usually mostly struggles with wrestlers... which is why the Evans fight was quite surprising (mental fog?!)...
I'm not sure why he took so much time off before the Evans fight, but I actually like him here against Shogun at the current odds, although Shogun is working with Freddie Roach. Shogun has alternating wins and losses since 2009 and I mean he had big problems putting away Brandon Vera.
I would see the chances about even?
