This particular fight prove to me that Fedor is not better than Nog on the ground strictly speaking grappling wise. I think Fedor knew that, which is why he did not attempt to pass his guard, he did land in side control through throws but Nog quickly retain guard. I understand that its not the art but the fighter, however I think both fighters display their roots very well. Nog with constant submissions attempts, sweeps, always retaining guard. Fedor good balance and base, posture, reversal, sub defense.
Two masters of their respected arts both good in striking compete against each other in MMA.
To think it's been 5 years since their first fight and they are still number one & number 2 in their division. One of the most important fights in MMA history.
