Who would win Lil Nog vs Sonnen?

[ExitLUPin]

It would look like Nog/Cummins except Shale prolly gets a TD or 2 and some time on top

I can see Chael grinding it out, but it's a hard fight for him either way.

I just don't see how Chael beats Lil Nog. Nogs boxing, BJJ, and TDD is pretty good.

 

[Lil Smokie]

Chael would be panic wrestling and panic spinning backfisting to the floor if they fought. Lil Nog by TKO.

It's s very interesting matchup. I favor Rogerio.

Interesting to say the least. I'd say Chael wrestles all of first round and wins round one, then it's all Nog from there.

Trt chael by far. USADA chael not so sure.

 

[Iroh]

I think Chael has the wrestling technique to pull it off, same way Phil Davis did.

Lil Nog's got the hands though, good fight.

Normally I'd say this, but who knows in what shape Sonnen will be in the USADA era.

Thanks. You're not the first to say that.

Nog TKO.

Bigger than Chael, great TDD that keeps improving, heart and a vastly superior striker.

wouldn't be that close.

surprised at the poll results so far.... NOT. bunch of nuthuggers.

 

[Haliacmon]

pretty sure Sonnen roids him up to unreached limits just to beat Lil Nog, giving a s*** if he gets caught he just wants to go inside the cage and beat someone up

I'm surprised with the poll results as well. Nog wouldn't be that much bigger than Chael tho...

 

[Sad Dad]

I'm surprised it's so even. I think lil nog without a doubt at this point.

TRT sonnen would demolish nog imo.

Right now its tough to say. Though his BJJ has gotten better than it used to be, he's probably way less physically strong.

TRT Chael vs Nog would be really good IMO, but I believe Sonnen vs Lil Nog will be interesting and it could look good on the 202 card...

Lil Nog wins--he has excellent wrestling defense. Sonnen might get him down but, like Davis, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

As the fight wore on Sonnen would struggle to score takedowns and get lit up on the feet and tko'd.

 

[SuperNerd]

Lil Nog can't keep up with the fastest white man alive

 

[FadeLess]

Rogerio ... by left hook

It's a bad match for Chael on paper. Nog's TDD is actually decent and he can still throw heat. Meanwhile, Chael has been out of the game for years and won't have access to supplements we know he was using during his peak (or he'll at least need to use less, and disguise his abuse).

I would think Chael prefers taking his cocktail to fighting. He's making money anyway and once said that it improved his quality of life too much to stop.
