with all the other top heavyweights booked, n both coming off big wins i think these two top heavweights should clash would be a great fight since mir is booked.Tuf one to call also, both very well rounded, but i also remember Nog getting rocked by heath hearings high kick, and IMO gabe got a way better high kick then lucky a*s hearing. Even if a change is made and nog gets da rematch it would be a good switch gabe vs. kongo would be f*cken awsome 2. what do u guys think?
I think Nog vs Gonzaga does not end well for Nog. I know he looked like he was back against Couture, but I think GG hits hard enough to hurt Nog on the feet and eventually pound out a victory kind of how Mir did.
Kongo vs Nog or GG ends the same. As soon as either one gets Kongo to the ground, they take off an arm.
I think Lesnar or Carwin vs Nog would be a good match to see if either of them are skilled enough on the ground to avoid the Nog sub. Lesnar learned enough and controlled enough to negate Mir's bjj, but i'd like to see if he could do the same to Nog.Carwin on the other hand did not have to worry about GG's bjj as he openly lead with his face until he was able to throw that straight right and put GG out of it.
Could Lesnar or Carwin KO Nog, I think so based on power, but i'd like to see those fights.

+1 to the bold.
If Fabricio Werdum can beat Gonzaga, I am fairly certain Big Nog has a pretty damn good shot of beating him aswell. But I guess thats just me!
I would rather him fight Mir though!
Either fight would work.

Gonzaga is good at beating cans, Nog will eat him alive. Yes i know he KO'd cro cop but i am starting to wonder if he was lucky.

Gonzaga earned that win against CroCop. Had he not KTFO'd CC he was still putting a beating on him for the first 4 n a half minutes of the round. He definitely was not lucky. If anything he was unlucky in his loss to Carwin (I'm not saying Carwin was lucky, but Gonzaga still would have a chance against Carwin).

Other than Cro Cop , Gonzaga lost all the fights he had against top fighters. Plus Crop Cop's time in the UFC was full of disappointments.
Even though I like Gabe, a victory over Tuchscherer isn't the same as a victory over Randy. I would rather see Nog thrown in with Lesnar. Gabe can score a rematch with Carwin, I think Gabe can pullout the win in the rematch, thus earning a shot at the titt.le. Mir gets Kongo (much rather see Silva fight him) winner gets Crop/Dos Santos. Herring gets Evansen, the victor of that fights Al-Turk.
