i think stipes conditioning would hold up. nog is a smaller guy then stipe i dont see how he grinds him. hes not gonna control him in a clinch or anything like that. the fight would probably be stipe stuffing his takedowns and laying in guard or standing up to strike and stipe would be the one controlling the clinch.Yes, he could. Not in the first round, but certainly by the second. A grind for one round would be enough.
nog had the benefit that in PRIDE takedown defense wasnt ass stressed as it is now. now we have wrestlers that have solid striking unlike back then where it was still wrestling vs BJJ where the wrestler took the bjj guy down and tried to survive in the guard and just GNP.
