Reply With QuoteNog vs. Cain isn't an easy choice for me. I think the safe bet is little Nog, but I would not be at all surprised if Cain pulled off a decision.

Honestly, I think this card sucks. The main event is interesting, but I don't see how Cain beats Nog anywhere. Silva vs. Bisping will be fun if Wand knocks Bisping's head off and I kinda hope Sotiropoulos gets a hometown win. That would be cool. Otherwise, fuck this card.

I just don't see Cain being able to:
A) Not get KO'd if they keep it on the feet
B) Not get sub'd if he gets a takedown
I know he's a strong wrestler and has a good gastank, but there is no substitute for Nog's experience. Plus, it seems Cain doesn't have the power to put anyone away let alone Nog. I can see Cain thinking he's in control and in a groove, then Nog using his super grip to take something home with him. On the feet I think it's no contest. An in shape Nog has some decent boxing and a granite chin and Cain, doesn't. I love the line right now, it's about even.

Huge arguments going on in MMA forums. I dont think Cain will offer Nog anything he hasnt already seen.
I am hoping Wand wins, but Bisping may do the whole win by decision gig if he can stay away. Yay.
Cro cop gets a can, but fuck it he needs it.
I am actually really liking this card.6' 217lbs (10/18)

OK, I keep thinking Cain is fighting little Nog. For some reason I keep thinking Cain is a LHW.
Yeah, I don't see Cain having a chance in hell unless Nog looks like he did against Mir.
Cain has looked great thus far though...

Holy fucking shit! Who saw that coming? A guy that's been criticized for not having finishing power just obliterated a guy that's considered to have one of the best chins in MMA history. Cain had crisp, unpredictable striking last night and he has the luxury of not really having to worry about being taken down given his wrestling pedigree. I'm sold.
