Look i don't hate the guy or anything , on the contrary , i have a lot of respect for this particular fighter and it's pretty much safe to say that he's already a living legend of this ****ing sport , one of the most accomplished in the HW scene...His career speaks volumes...
Having said that , the guy is way , WAY past his prime.
I truely don't know how much he's gonna be able to last if he keeps using this "punching ball" technic of his , but that **** can't be good for his brain that's for sure.
Nog's career in a nutshell...is sort of like Muhammad Ali on constant "rope a dope" mode...Only unlike Ali , he didn't just pull that gameplan with a single fighter..like ali did vs Foreman... Nog does the same **** with almost everyone , then pulls a submission out of nowhere or simply wins the decision..
i've never seen an mma fighter take so much punishment in all his fights...
and not just mma...that guy takes some ****ing brutal punishements
Even his latest win , (vs Tim Sylvia) was almost part of the routine for him. (compare that with what he had to endure against Fedor or Crocop in his prime) , just another day at the office.
It can't be good...his right eye (or i think it's his left) is going blind too..
Some will tell me that there's nothing to worry about but **** it...
Yes , i know that a truck ran over him when he was a kid...that he's a true survior and all but still!...today , he's a shadow of his former self and not half the fighter he used to be.. Actually his "prime" years were almost all raped by a single guy (fedor)...Nog's been fighting past his prime for a long time now...
I realise that i'm not in his shoes nor can i deprive him from doing what he loves but all i'm saying is don't be surprised if this guy ends up with alzheimer's or some ****...
The athletic commission always makes a big fuss about past prime champs such as holyfield threatening with suspension certain fighters for much less...And i don't think i'm being an alarmist as far as nog's case is concerned...
