I was dumbfounded over why that fight wasn't stopped. Granted, Nogueira hung on but there are tons of fights that are stopped that had the ref gave more time to recover, the fight may have went on.

Why the hell would Herring have been champ now if he beat Nog? The UFC probably wouldn't have given him a title shot, then even if they did he would have had to have beaten someone for the title, probably Sylvia. Yves Lavigne made the right decision becuase he knew what kind of heart Nogueira had, and considering that Nog made it out of the fight and won goes to show you that Yves was right.
How was Nogueira done SEVERAL times in the first round?? he got hurt once in the whole fight and none of Herring's follow up punches even landed flush enough to finish the job

Werdum has fought 3 top 10 heavyweights in his last 3 fights, and his record in those last 3 fights is 2-1. He looked solid in every one of those fights.....

Beatdown by AA?? AA landed about 6 good shots that entire fight, did you even watch it?
Rag Dolled? Gonzaga was afraid of Werdum, he didn't want any part of the standup OR the ground game so he would just push Fabricio down then stand over top of him. Werdum got the better of the ground, and EVERY exchange in that fight.

You do realize that him and Nog have fought before??? He lasted 20 minutes with Nog, it was a great fight and it was very close. If you don't know what you are talking about then you shouldn't act like it, I hope you don't have 1000 other posts like these.
