Nog's loss

[AJL416AZ]

how would losing not change your ranking?

so after Cro Cop dominated Wandy and Barnett, from the guard with GnP as well as on the feet, he shouldnt change?

i have Cro Cop as 2nd

Nogueira tied with Barnett as 3rd. i agree that a rematch would really help clear up this ranking, as well as give the fans what they want


i highly doubt Nogueira could win a match with Barnett in dominating fashion, not after Barnett just won the last won, even setting a kneebar in the end

I picked Nog to win the whole tourney from the beginning. I still think Barnett won the fight. Good decision. Close fight but I give it to Barnett.

I was rooting for Nogueira but I have to give credit where credit is due, Barnett deserved the decision. The fight ended with Barnett coming very close to sucessfully knee-baring Nog. I don't think he would have completely cinched it in but it looked so damn close that the judges had to give him the nod. I honestly think Nog took him lightly. I can't see Nog dropping a rematch though. BTW, I had Crocop beating Wand with leg kicks to a decision victory and Nog decisioning or submitting Barnett but being too worn out from that fight to get past Crocop's takedown defense and losing a decision to Crocop. I never expected Wand to get knocked out that badly though, just out-boxed and out-kicked.

in which case Hunt should have been ranked #3 for defeating CroCop in New Years.

good point, but ima stick with my ranking.

To me it looked like a draw or nog winning it,but thats what happens when judges score the fight,nog had barnett full mounted twice and side control many times he should have finish barnett then..

this is a stupid question but just how old is Nog? he looks like he's like Randy/Shamrock's age or something...LOL

figured i'd ask here and not start a new thread on it

He's 30. Does look a bit weathered tho haha

I was rooting for Barnett but was suprised by the decision. I feel if he didnt come close with the knee bar at the end there would be no question that Nog won. But on the other hand if the fight went 10 or 15 seconds longer we could have seen Nog's first submission loss.
