Big Nig worst downslide ever?

I don't know if you remember but Nog was beat on so bad before one of his eyes was going blind. It changed colors back in 2006. The guy is a frakenstein and it is amazing that he has held on this long.

Exactly, forgot about that. Apparently he was like 80% blind in one eye and supposedly had corrective surgery that made it even worse according to this thread: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2/antonio-rodrigo-nogueira-80-blind-one-eye-health-fading-540536/

this, people forget the guy is doing what he does without very much depth perception
 
Liddell, Jens Pulver, Mike Brown, Tito and Cro Cop are the top 5 worst downfalls in MMA in no particular order. Big Nog is not there yet but indeed he will be if he does not figure out he needs to leave gracefully. Ditto BJ Penn and Shogun.
 
Not even close. Nog looked just as bad during his first fight vs Mir. He got caught today. Not a big deal. Happens to the best of them

I cant remember any former champion/top fighter looking this bad since Jens Pulver. Granted he hasnt been looking too good lately and Roy Nelson wasnt the best match up for him but he could not have performed much worse.

I was the biggest Nog supporter and always had faith in him, and hated the people constantly calling for his retirement, but I have to say there is no excuse anymore. If he doesnt retire now Im afraid something really bad will happen. It may be too late already.

Funny how old school guys like Shogun And Dan Henderson can still hang with the best of them but Big Nog and before him Crocop ended up as punching bags in the UFC.

We'll
 
Kevin Randleman went down hill rapidly. Nog has had a good run in the UFC, and could still hang with most of the top fighters. He got caught. Simple as that

He "got caught" 3 times in one round. That's more than just being "caught" really.
 
Was anyone else expecting to see Kimbo Slice tumbling off a cliff of some sort? Kinda disappointed now TS.

Nog relied on toughness, and people being clueless on the ground. He built his career on all that. The game has changed, and guys like Nog are being phased out.

I don't think Tito should be included as he isn't getting knocked unconscious and had his moments in all his recent fights
