Is Nogueira done? No, despite what a lot of forum posters wanted to think in the moments following the Velasquez fight. Yes he’s lost two of his last three, but with the Mir fight he was banged up going in—not to take anything away from Mir’s performance that night—and this was a case of Nogueira getting beaten by a younger, quicker fighter by playing to that younger fighter’s strong point. Is Velasquez for real? Of course. The Congo win got people’s attention, the Rothwell win made him not just another punchy heavyweight, and this win gives Velasquez a real bargaining point to say that he deserves a heavyweight title shot; that and he’s fought almost twice as many fights as Lesnar.

Photo Credit: Sherdog Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Dear Mr. Axe Murder, I wanted to take a moment of time to say thank you for all that you have done for the sport of MMA.  You, like many, have built this temple with bricks of honor, pride, aggression, victory, defeat, all kilned in the fires of war.  Your blood, sweat and tears make [...]
