Big Nog Got to Carry the Olympic Torch

He tried to feed the torch to the car behind him
 
Doesn't matter what the media say, that pic is Big Nog. Pretty clear imo
 
ufc brasil twittter account says it's big nog therefore it's big nog.
 
That's a great picture. It looks like Big Nog to me.
 
I wish Big Nog didn't get old and all beat up. Exciting fighter and a true legend. I remember the Cro Cop armbar like it was yesterday.

That's Nog light carrying the torch. That's a awesome honor

Chevy Chase reminds me of Sam from Guess Who.

Is normal. They always have this level of security for the torchbearer. There have been several incidents where people have stolen or tried to steal the torch. Events that draw this kind of attention tend to bring out the lunatics.

Selects from Wikipedia on the 2012 Olympics:

The torch was escorted by a team of trained officers from the Metropolitan Police Service known as the Torch Security Team. These were chosen from 644 initial applications through an eight-month selection process. Their primary role was to protect the Olympic and Paralympic Flames as well as ensuring the safety of the torchbearer. These "runners" formed part of a wider torch security team which consisted of motorcyclists, pedal cyclists, senior officers and operational planners.

Incidents

Near Land's End, one man broke past the pace car but was swiftly tackled to the ground by the Torch Security Team, as he was thought to be trying to reach the torchbearer.[19]

In Derry scuffles broke out between police and republican protesters, as they blocked the planned route near the Guildhall. Consequently, the relay was forced to divert in order to reach the Peace Bridge.[20]

As the torch was leaving Headingley towards Leeds, a man with a bucket of water was seen in the crowd. He was swiftly tackled by the security team before he could empty the contents.[22]

A male streaker with 'Free Tibet' written on his back was arrested on 10 July, after running in front of the torch as it passed through Henley-on-Thames.[24][25]

A 17-year-old was arrested on 20 July in Gravesend, Kent after unsuccessfully attempting to grab the torch while screaming 'Allahu Akbar'.[26]

I didn't know being a torch bearer was such a dangerous gig...
 
I'm happy for which ever Nog got this special honor. Those dudes bled, took, and gave a lot ass whoppings for my entertainment. Salute.
 
Anyone remember Fedor carrying it in 2012?
