    Huge chance for Davis to shine! Lil Nog is over rated imo

    To be fair he never actually looked like pulling it off though, the one time he actually got the arm out Johnson just freed his arm with relative ease.

    He was close twice, he just never bent the arm and was stuck in a straight armbar position rather than a kimura. In fact, a straight armbar is harder to finish on the bottom. I doubt he would have finished them but I was responding to the "dan wasn't offensive" comment which was bull.

    I think you might be right. Davis = pink shorts, rhianna walkout music and asking for vaseline on his lips. Nog better watch for the RNC!

    I think itll be a repeat of the Bader fight. (kinda hope im wrong though)

    No, you confused "Dan didn't attempt to be offensive" with "Dan hasn't got the technique to be offensive". The latter being the point I was making.

    Don't think much of Little Nog's either, I thought brazilians were supposed to use mad dance music? :D

    Come on Little Nog!

    noticed the tap too Scud.

    People are questioning how Dan Hardy got a title shot... after his weakness was exposed in a fight.. 12 months AFTER he got his title shot. This same weakness which had NOT been exposed en route to his title shot.

    Some people on this board need to get a grip sometimes.

    He didnt really fight any decent wrestlers on the way to the title shot though.His toughest opponents were Swick & Davis.

    Lets not forget he went 5 rounds with GSP aswell and had some amazing submission defence during the fight, I dont know how he didnt dislocate his shoulder at one stage. Not a huge fan of his but hes got ability.

    Are title fights not 5 rounders anymore?? :P


    Nog with some good take down defense so far

    exactly! So what if he didn't fight any decent wrestlers, he can only fight who is put in front of him and how they choose to fight. He deserved his title shot at GSP irrespective of wrestling ability.

    Ah I see. Maybe you should've put that in your original post to avoid confusion ;). I agree, his technique was half assed but he was offensive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,900 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Davis has to get KO'd soon throwing them kicks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,943 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Thing is Hardy will be kept on cos he's a possible huge draw commercially. The Brits love him, he's different wit his MoHawk.

    I think he'll fight next in the UK and the other possible Dublin card, and each time he'll be fed cans, then he'll fight a contendor and get his arse handed to him, then back to the cans.

    Sound like anyone elses career? Bisping maybe?

    I wouldnt say that. Theres plenty of better welterweights and there were plenty better at that time too. His mouth got him that title shot more then his ability


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,811 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    Great job form Nog on the takedowns. I want to see the judges give some credit to takedown defence, its total bs the way it is at the moment

    Exactly, my point is that Dan Hardy was never challenged by a good wrestler en route to his title shot. Why should that count against him that none of them saw the weakness and built a solid game plan around it. A fighter must not have spent X time in this position and suffered Y amount of damage in that position.

    Bones was never on his back with a good wrestler either, can't believe he got a title shot :rolleyes:

    how you been Ax :D ?

    I did. I said he can do nothing on the ground. I didn't say he isn't trying to do something on the ground. Read posts you're responding to if you want to avoid confusion.

    four straight wins in the UFC against decent opposition AND Koscheck / Daly still had to fight for TUF coach places..Hardy was next in line dude.

    Bad end of the round for nog, 1 apiece?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,900 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    axwell and bellybuster should get in the cage :P

    back on topic, I can't believe Nog couldn't finish Davis. Davis really turned it around when he got Nog on the ground!
