Is it just me or does this card feel like its missing a main event?
Randy – Nog just doesn’t do it for me anymore.

No matter who wins, I don’t think either will get by Lesnar, Carwin, Cain and the other heavyweight monsters. And I’m not sure Randy can hang with the light heavies either. If he does drop to 205 after this, brutal KO’s lie in his destiny.

I still think stylistically Nog could give some of those heavyweights problems…it’s just how much did the Mir KO take out of him
Yea
Also, I don’t know how many people he would catch in subs from his back nowadays?
