Now that Big Nog has officially retired, Sherdog should give him a proper send-off!

 

All Hail.

F#$king Legend!

 

Nothing but respect for that man.

 

my bad. i actually posted this one before all the other "Nog Retires" thread kept on poppin up. was a tad slow looking for Nog highlights that I can post lol

 

Hespect! Glad that he's hanging them up, and hopefully he stays involved in MMA.

 

Big Nog is the definiton of the warrior...One of the greatest fighters ever he will never be forgotten...

 

Another one?

 

Massive respect for a man crushed near to death my a truck to become the 2nd best Heavy of all time.

It says a lot about him that he managed to win the UFC title when he was a shell of his former self. One of the toughest fighters I have ever seen in any combat sport.

Biggest regret was he didnt finish Mir in the 2nd fight :icon_cry2

 

The nicest guy to ever fight.

 

My favorite and one of the best EVER. He fought so many wars over ELITE competition and found a way to beat every single guy except Fedor (until Dec 2008). I hope the noobs catch up on their mma history and find out what that man was capable of.
