Nog is so much slower than before, especially his transitions. And even now he's killing mid tier fighters, really puts in perspective Fedor's dominance in pride.
+3u or so for the card, will either end up +4 or +2 depending whether Bonnar can last 8 minutes. Put a very small partial on Bonnar of a few dollars as a hedge so I can cheer for him just incase he wins inside the 8 mins somehow
I've been loving the grappling in some of these fights. the 2nd round of nog/herman was great, and fitch/silva had some awesome back and forth grappling, as well as fitch constantly working to advance and looking for openings to finish. Maia's sub was sick too.
agreed, Bonnar is actually better than Forrest at this stage of their careers
I hope he can last the distance and put on a good show at least. I think he will eat a lot of punches and lose a 30-27 but I hope he puts on a good show along the way. Who knows, it's MMA, anything is possible.
He needs to fight as fitch did, just attack and try to be as close to him as possible and not allow him to do what he likes, and what Erick silva likes, staying on the outside in his element. If he can do that, he has a slim chance of winning.
