I was watching a video of their fight in UFC.

Does anyone think the fight should've been stopped near the end of the first round? After that big kick, it looked like the ref could've ended it when Herring followed up on the ground.

Also, if it had ended there, how would the division look now?

I wouldn't have debated it but it was Herring's own fault for not going in for the kill.

Herring SHOULD have won the fight but, because he was idiot, didn't.

I doubt the possibility of this. I feel the Nog will wreck Mir and then tie Lesnar in a knot.

But, for some reason, I think if Brock does manage to Rock Nogiera, he could win. Because he shown a killer instinct against Couture that he lacked against Herring. (which really shouldn't have left the first round.) If he manages to land the Megaton Punch, and Nog goes down (he does have a tendency to get rocked), he will probably put it away.

Seriously, after thinking about this fight, I went from Lesnar has No Chance in Hell to Lesnar has a small chance. Scary. Mir is still fucked, though.

You know after watching all the nog fights in pride, whos to say that if herring did jump on him that nog wouldnt have subbed him. I dunno hes a freak.

Herring definitly screwed up not following up however.

Im sure if herring did win he would have fought sylvia for the title and nogiera would have fought kongo if he would have taken the fight. That or lesnar would have debuted against nogiera. Who knows though.

I dont think lesnar has a chance against nog though. I think he'd beat mir in a rematch, but no way hes beating up nog.

I agree. I see Nog winning, but Lesnar's hands do damage. I mean, he knocked Mir on his ass with a jab.

I'd give Lesnar a puncher's chance. If he rocks Nog like he rocked Couture and then moves in for the kill, everyone here, myself included, will have their jaw on the floor.

I'd give him more than a puncher's chance. Lesnar has every chance of keeping that fight standing.

I'd still put Noguiera in as a favourite but it would be closer than people think.

I think Mir will beat Nog soo...

Fancy a bet on it?

Edit - And not only will I pick Nog, I'll pick him INSIDE THE DISTANCE. So if he wins a decision, you win the bet.

Impact!

If I didn't think Nog would be winning I'd take you up on that bet (even though it's directed at RP)

I kinda want mir to win because I like him, but I also like nog and I just dont see mir beating him. Also I really dont want lesnar to rematch mir so quickly so Im going with nog.

Impact!

What kinda bet? I'm pretty positive Mir will mount him and pound him out.

I wouldn't have even been pissed losing that bet. It was such a humbling you just have to hold your hands up and take it.
