I definitely agree with you on that one. Frank Mir has tremendous drive and skill for his experience, but Noguiera would have him.

Who can we write to, to make this match happen, I'm getting excited.
Does Mir still gas in latter part of the fight? because in the past, he would get tired very quickly.

Nog would have his way on the ground. Mir would not be able to stop him. Nog would also have his way with him standing. Look at the people Nog has fought with, Mirko, Fedor, Sapp just to name a few. Plus Nog is in way better condition than Mir. Mir shows up with just enough gas in the tank to finish. Nog comes with a tanker full of fuel. I think Nog's mentallity is "bring a bag lunch, cuz it gonna be a long day", he comes prepaired.
The calaper of fighters in Pride compaired to the UFC is ten fold. UFC has maybe a handful of fighter that could do any real damage in Pride. Look what happened to Chuck, and Chuck is great fighter, I like Chuck. He's one of the top three fighters in UFC, and he got his hide handed to him soundly by Jackson.

You are right about that, Murilo Bustamante was also beaten by Quinton Jackson.getgoin said:
Minotauro also beat Ricco Rodriguez, Mark Coleman, and Gary Goodridge, all came from the UFC.
Dragon Fist said:
Anyone who saw the Fight against Ricco
will Tell U he was Robed.
He Pounded Nog Through the Whole Fight.
Nog would go for Submission & Ricco would escape & go
back to the Pounding.
On The Feat he used lo Kicks & a flying knee.
He controlled Nog & took him down cleanly.
Any 1 who saw there 1st Match at ADCC
knows Ricco Submited Nog with an Armlock.

I'll have to watch that again, its been awhile. I remember he was avoiding sub after sub, but he didn't look that good in the fight, way out of shape. Don't take this as me bashing Ricco, I'm not. I like him he is nothing but a nice guy. Everytime I talked to him he was a nice guy even after he lost the belt. Now Ricco has real good sub's, we both now that. If he was in shape and ready to rock, I think He could take Nog. But he has to come ready. From what I hear he has been getting into shape, he even trained with Team Quest. So there may be a future for Ricco in the MMA ring.ace said:
I seems that him and Josh Barnett have the same week side to thier game right now, conditioning. I think Riccos taking care of business. I wonder what Josh will do about it.

That guy Pettek has an O-2 record. How could anybody with that record be going for a belt. Something smells fishy.Dragon Fist said:

Pruide has this thing called aggression points. It's when you attempt to actually win the fight. Rico sat there and layed on him, firing off ineffective shots. He never really did anything to win the fight, but did a good job of keeping Nog on the mat, where Nog wanted to be the entire fight... Ever seen nog not fight from his backside trying to sub people? Rico might have taken Nog down, but he did little once he had him there.
I know he's your boy and all, but sometimes you need to take off the rose-colored glasses and face the truth...

I am not.. besides, it's Primo... Not like he wont just wait for me to be rolling with you one day and come down and whip me into a triangle for my troubles.
But you know darn well I'm right in this case (O how rare that is).
Nog was trying to win, Rico was trying not to lose.
