CUMMINS VS. LIL NOG Slated For UFC 198 in Brazil

[mime]

wow Lil Nog is still fighting and also wow this is an awesome card!

 

[Nightmaree]

i was wishing for Lil' Nog/Manuwa or Gus/Lil' Nog

 

[jimmy d rustler]

Cum is gonna be all over Nog

 

[Marianne]

Heart says Nog, head says Cummins by blanket

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Poor Nog.

 

[TheNinja]

I could see cummings laying all over lil nog for three rounds....shitty matchup come on joe silva wtf?

I'm a bit worried by this as well. Especially since in the past Lil Nog didn't seem to have a problem going to the ground or working from his guard....which doesn't win rounds in the UFC.
However Lil Nog's defensive wrestling has gotten better since coming to the UFC. He's got a shot to stop enough takedowns and beat Cummins on the feet.

 

[Akabignasty]

I've got Cummins

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Amazing card.

Gotta go with Cummins. Hope I get good odds on him in order to lay a decent bet.

If 2015 Shogun can take Nog down and get a decision I think Cummins will do the same, or maybe even TKO him (Pat has some good GnP).

BTW: Cummins loves some Brazil!

I think that is too much for him at this point
I like this matchup

Mods, can we get a poll in here?

Nice addition to an already stacked card. Hopefully Minotouro takes it, but I think he's on the decline right now and a guy like Cummins could give him trouble. Even tho I would love to see a Nogueira (T)KO, I think Cummins by UD is a fair guess.

This card so far:

(Not yet confirmed, but almost there) Fabricio Werdum x Stipe Miocic
Ronaldo Jacaré x Vitor Belfort
Demian Maia x Matt Brown
Patrick Cummins x Rogério Minotouro
Thiago Marreta x Nate Marquardt
Evan Dunham x Léo Santos

Who takes it?

 

[HHJ]

interesting fight...but i think the barista will win,if he can avoid lil nogs jab game

 

[DyinHawaiian]

Cummins easily.

 

[ironball]

about time nog gets a fight

sadly I see it going like nog/brilz, even if brilz shoulda won

then again it is in brazil this time and is likely his retirement fight... maybe nog by UD. curious to see him stop cummins wrestling game though

the more i think about it though, nog does have a mint BJJ game... gonna be interesting

 

[HHJ]

also he has a really good jab,he defeated rashad with it...it could happen again if he lets him settle in with it early

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

Kind of surprised about this fight. don't really like it. Rooting for Nogueira.

 

[Enigma87]

I like the match up. Cummins will be the favorite I'm sure but Nog's edges in boxing and Jiu Jitsiu still makes it a really interesting fight. Shaping up to be a nice card!

 

[VinceArch]

Lil Nog by TKO.

 

[ironball]

also he has a really good jab,he defeated rashad with it...it could happen again if he lets him settle in with it early

That was crazy when he beat rashad, at the time it was considered a warm-up fight for rashad I believe lol

Then again considering how bad rashad looked against bader who knows, maybe hes been done for a while

 

[Arkridge]

I think Lil Nog has enough left in the tank to beat a one dimensional Cummins.

Cummins has some of the best wrestling in the division but is very hittable. His defensive BJJ seemed solid vs Carlos Jr, so I don't see him getting subbed from the bottom.
