Big Nog's legacy

[2004 account]

Not enough respect is shown to this guy who could make a very strong case for #2 heavy weight goat status. Here is a reminder to how great he was for all those cashews who don't put enough respec on his name and think that some ufc flavor of the month hw is better.

Noguiera was more special than what his ufc career would suggest. Check it out, this came out yesterday. The narrators voice might be cringe but he is on point otherwise.

#2 HW GOAT is too strong of a claim for Big Nog imo

Yeah, your voice sucks.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Big Nog is one of the greatest fighters ever and along with Fedor sits atop the HW mountain.

His career is a library of great and vastly under appreciated fights

 

[OrigFan255]

He gets tons of respect from me for being willing to adapt at a time when Brazilian JJ specialist were probably shamed for training boxing. (Or maybe just a Gracie thing back then)

Definitely a fully package fighter who had an iron jaw, iron eyeballs and could drop 3 gallons of sweat during a war.

In my top 10 all time

I started watching MMA in 2005. The first time I saw Nogueira's sit out against Bob Sapp I had to know how he did it, and I became a fan of Nogueira and MMA for life. Timestamped. He also hits the same move at 2:45.

The greatest legacies belong to the fighters from the greatest country, America.

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

anyone who got knocked out by frank mir can't be considered HW GOAT

 

[TheMessiah]

Absolute legend

 

[The Demon Sword]

Werdum is ahead of him in terms of HW GOAT as is Stipe and a couple others.
H2H quite a few beat him up.
He has little legacy as he won’t be remembered much outside a small section of the already small pride cult/fandom

Big Nog easily a top 3 Heavyweight. Great resume, so many great fights.

Kiiyon Kimura does fantastic videos. The editing is smooth, and it's clear he does his research on the guys. His analysis is fair and respectful without being sycophantic.
