[soulblighter]

Should have retired after the first Mir fight

nope. After Couture fight.

 

[Fbed]

Absolutely

 

[spikemma]

Hell no

 

[Ragnarocker]

What happened to the thread??

I voted no. He didn't look too bad against Stefan Skyscraper, who just has the tools and size to make Big Nog look bad. Big Nog needs an opponent like CroCop or Mitrione so he can shine.

 

[leatherneck]

That's his way of life, if he wants to keep fighting, more power to him.

thats the problem- he needs more power to him.

he shouldnt retire after UFC 190,

he should retire before it.

Attempt #2: Electric Boogaloo.

Shogun vs Big Nog next

 

[Mr. Hammer]

Struve looked great. Big Nog looked like he always does.

 

[Poggiali13]

He shouldn't, b/c he didnt get KTFO this time, so he should try it one more time and retire in great style.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

It's too bad they can't make Nog fight Big Foot on the Brazilian circuit. They are both done, but who's to say either should retire.

If Nogueira were cut he may retire.

 

[Cazador]

He should, but he won't.

 

[chunglii]

I voted no.

You sick monster

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Give him a full on tomato can and let him retire on a win.

 

[smooth assassin]

I voted yes, I just hate seeing this living legend get beat like he has been, and dont want him to hurt himself with long term damage
It breaks my heart because he got me to love mma and ultimately inspired me to train when I did

Mino, you have nothing to prove, you accomplished everything and are an inspiration with your heart, determination, and class

 

[Himo]

He's not going to retire he's got two fights left on his contract and he makes several hundred thousand dollars a fight. He knows he's not going to be champion again, he's fighting for retirement paychecks.

 

[thetruth857]

All Nog tried to do that whole fight was wall and stall.

 

[Frank23]

You sick monster

Big Nog is still a draw.

 

[El Chimpo]

Yes frank..he should

 

[clift]

I think he should. He has nothing left to prove. He's a legend of the sport and he's clearly well past his prime. There's no need to suffer the punishment and endure the physical trauma and continue on. Strive would have been tooled by the old Nog. If he can't beat the likes of a middle of the roader like Struve he should hang up his gloves. I love the man and the fighter... I'd like to see him enjoy retirement being remembered as the legend he is and not as a shell of his former self.

 

[clutchit]

he should but maybe bring in Potts for one more fight so Big Nog can go out on a win (I hope)

 

[Wadtucket]

If he dies, he dies

 

[Gigaton Punch]

When such a great and exciting fighter is reduced to hugging against the cage because he can't generate any other offense, it's time to go
