I don't think Nog looked that bad tbh. Closed the distance fairly well against a very tall guy that used his reach. Can't argue retirement tho. Wonder what his new gig will be?
Wish he would have retired in the octagon to get a farewell ovation from his home crowd.
Dana playing Dad again.
You care about your fighters health so much why don't you pay them fair?
Nog should have retired after he fought Couture
Another one complaining about how "unfair" it Is for an athlete to spend 15 minutes to make a few hundred grand The UFC pays for the event . Not the few months of training. Do us all a favor and find us ONE business model that survived for any length of time after paying the workers more than the business itself simply because "the worker is actually the one sweating." The UFC is the one with all the overhead, producing the event, booking the venue, insurance, security and all other facets of running a business that I won't pretend to know a thing about. These guys are all pretty smart and can choose a different line of work if this one doesn't pay well enough. I just think the money can ALWAYS be better regardless of the industry. But it seems people love to rip Dana and the UFC and they employ a shit ton of people aside from just the fighters. I think that too should be taken into consideration.

Do people seriously not follow the UFC? big nog has already coached 3 seasons of TUF. That's more than any other person.I didn't know Dana liked Big Nog as much as Hughes, Chuck, Forrest.

Yeah, but that stuff will likely start to dry up rapidly once he is officially retired. Good on Dana.

he said he's taking care of Nog financially for life with a job with Zuffa, crybaby.
Wow, so Nog will be one of the 4 guys that Zuffa takes care of after their fighting days are over? What humanitarianism! Just think if they paid fighters what they deserve, fighters could take care of themselves after they retire instead of having to continually suck up to Dana for their livelihood.
