Who Wins Between DC and Prime Nogueira?

[Gabe]

I feel like both guys are cut from the same cloth, elite grapplers with good boxing that are durable as hell. Nogueira at one time was ranked the pound for pound number 1 and demolished anyone that want named Fedor. Meanwhile DC has beaten everyone across two weight classes that isn't named Jon Jones. I think I would lean towards DC as he had more fight IQ and doesn't rely on his chin as much.

Nogueira is better on the feet with his boxing and is too slick on the ground and too durable. Hard fight for DC. It would be competitive.

Big Nog better boxing, bigger guy and on the ground he won't be controlled that easy.

But hey how many sherbros around here even remember a prime Nog so they will go with this mythical undefeated HW DC.

DC... feels like Prime Nog is looked at too highly here.. his hands were never THAT good.. he just had amazing recovery n submissions.. still think DC runs thru him n makes it look easy

 

[Taric]

I don't think DC's striking is as good as Cain's but I do think DC's wrestling and overall submission grappling game is better than Cain's.
I think Nog would want this one on the feet 'cause I don't see him winning it on the ground.

 

[tasticles]

At some point DC gets swept and controlled or rocked on the feet. It would be a good fight but a young nog was a beast

 

[Frozen Sea]

DC and it aint even close, Pride fanboys will always go with their Pride heroes due to the nostalgia factor.

 

[ArtemV]

DC all day. I feel like it would look like a repeat of Mir vs DC. I think Nog would get dirty boxed all night if they had fought. I also doubt that DC would get submitted, he is too good not to fall for a triangle or armbar from guard.

My honest answer:
I dont know much about Big Nog ( ). DC is one of my fav. fighters, so I hope he wins, but his HW run is fucken overrated.

Something tells me that big nog would be a hard fight ...

 

[Goodfella86]

This would be a very good fight. I'm a Nog guy, so I'd favor him via decision. His skillset is more of a spiderweb than Barnett's or Gustaffson's. I'd even like to see DC vs. prime Mir. I'd pick DC via tko, but it's still very interesting, stylistically.

someone tell me who "prime Nog" faced and beat to display his elite boxing skills

he was always a punching bag

 

[Goatenstein]

Nog triangle easy.

 

[Oooxente]

Prime Nog.


Dude was a monolith who boxed very well and choked you out if you had the balls to take him down.

 

[Flboycanscrap2]

DC via being a far superior athlete. No way Big Nog has the speed to keep up with DC.

I truly respect your honesty. Most Sherdoggers would claim to have been Big Nog's cornerman back in RINGS.

When you have time, you should check out Nog's older fights. It also helps if you know the opponents and their rankings, but you'll probably be able to put that together from the commentary and other shit.

His best fights are

Crocop
Sapp
Sylvia
Couture
Herring (Each win is great in its own way)
Sergei
Werdum
Schaub

 

[sonhow]

I don't think Nog ever beat anyone as good as DC wrestling wise and on the other hand he did lose to Barnett and get a bit of a gift vs Ricco. I wouldn't count him out but at least inside a cage I would pick DC. (Wall and stall + dirty boxing)

Clueless you are indeed
