Forrest Griffin to face Minotoro Nogueira "sooner than later"

58
Posted By antong UFC Videos
According to the "sources close to one of the fighters" Little Nog will fight Forrest Griffin sometime in the first half of 2010. Rogerio Nogueira was scheduled to fight Jon Jones at UFC 109, but the Brazilian ace was injured and Jones got Brandon Vera instead. It is still possible that Nogueira will fight the winner of Jones-Vera fight, but the UFC management understands that Griffin - Little Nog fight is far more attractive in terms of PPV.

    he won his last fight with tito like he lost his first fight with tito. basically just open enough for a rematch worth watching.

    lil nog is a better boxer than A silva and will make forest look even worse

    seriously?
    LMFAO are we serious? LMFAO thats Because Silva's considered Muay Thai so when he Beats peoples faces in with his hands they don't say his Boxing... Little Nog is nice But Silva is EASILY the Better striker... Little Nog is going to K.O Griffin But could never display the hand speed and precision punching Silva did...

    its shit to true MMA fans
    To people who see the fight in MMA not the fighter and know that 2 no names can scrap just like 2 superstars, Joe Silva is making some bad matchups, BUT you hafta realize with all the publicity the UFC has recently gained alot more people are beginning to watch for the fighters more than the fights. By putting Little Nog against Griffin now is SMART for Bizness, every1 knows Griffin had his time to shine and now it's gone he's not going to Beat any 1 But Tito again lol So Joe Silva is using Griffin to hype the new comer Little Nog Because enough people still think Forrest is a true contender, so when Lil Nog wins they're going to make it like he Beat a true champion not like Forrest.

    UFC is fighting WWE is acting. Even if they set up fights to make new talent rise to the top, its still fights. If you got what it takes and you are the best fighter in your weight, they can do nothing to stop you from beating down anyone put in front of you. In WWE the script is saying who will win the fight.

    Yeah, I feel the same way. Forrest got fed to the lions already with Silva, why can't they give him a winnable fight, like Rich Franklin, or a Jardine rematch?

    wow
    All i have to say is you guys are retarded.. lil nog is good but griffin is a good fighter as well. he fought and was embarrassed by the best p4p fighter in the world..he lost to evans. and before that beat rampage..i think he has a great shot against lil nog..and i think griffin can win this fight.. still not saying he is going to but the reason guys like griffin have losses and guys like fedor don't is because the guys like griffin fight the best every time out.. i mean i know griffin just fought tito but tito is still better than brett rogers and werdum..people who think he has not shot are morons..

    griffin is an overrated posterboy. he doesn't belong with the big dogs. this fight is necessary so that his spot light can be taken away and given to the guys that don't swing stupidly.

    fedor
    he will never be p4p king he stays at hw..and 1/4 of his victories were against guys that came up in weight to fight him..and all the giants he fought sucked..not to mention he has not fought anybody in 5yrs..except arvloski who was coming off losses anyway. then he fights a very green rogers..and now he is fighting a weak werdum..a very green junior dos santos finished werdum seconds into the first round and gave werdum his walking papers from the ufc. now they are going to make a big deal because fedor will beat a former ufc fighter. people for now on should leave fedor out of there conversations until he does something up to his so called potential instead of gimmick fights...yeah fedor was the man back in the early 2000-2004 and barley 05..but let go of the past guys the fighters of today are just flat out better all around.

    Toni?
    I've read numerous posts on here and always read how many people talk shit and say you're the dumbest MMA fan there is and this and that I never actually felt like saying it, But I think its true almost every fighter that fites 205 is well over, usually around 220-245 Anthony Rumble Johnson fites Welterweight and walks around @ 210-220

    Guest ^^? You're talking nonsense.Barely (barley is a grain) in 2005. What about beating an extremely in form Cro Cop who he could've sub'd any time he wanted but chose to beat Cro Cop at his own game and rectifying his only so-called loss by destroying Kosaka who was no joke either. I agree Werdum is an unnecessary fight for him but we keep having to wait around for Overreem to stop messing around in Japan so who else can he fight in SF? When he beat Arlovski, Arlovski was in very good form. And I don't care how 'green' you think Brett Rogers is, he is a beast and a very dangerous fighter who I think would be a very tough test for any UFC heavyweight. What did Fedor do? Highlight reel KO. What more do you want? Look until someone beats Fedor, you can't knock the guy. Simple as!

    thank for pointing out the type-o buddy lol..like i said barely in 2005 cro-crap being his only true fight that year..but that's f'in 5 yrs ago..really are we going to hold on to fedor forever even if he is pulling a mayweather on everybody and just simply fighting guys that are nothing compared to who he should be fighting..i mean fedor avoids all other complete fighters.. the fighters today are better than those one ore maybe two dimensional fighters of the late 90's early 2000's. i just think fedor fans are delusional.. fedor fans can't take the truth, and will live in fedor past as long as they can..but this now, this is the future.. Does not matter what you did unless your retired. it's about what your doing now..and what fedor is doing now is ducking fights like a greedy russian instead of fighting to keep his legacy intact..i don't care if you are 10000-0 if your not fighting anybody that record means nothing..I guess all i am saying is it's about the now and the future..And wins and losses are about quality not quantity. i rest my case

    I agree that the quality of fighters beaten is paramount and yes Fedor has fought a few bums but I don't think he's ducking anyone or picking and choosing his opponents. I do wonder a lot about M-1 Global themselves having Fedor's best interests at heart. I'm sure he'll happily fight anyone out there all promotional issues aside.
    It's true some fans become delusional. I'm not one of them I'm perfectly capable of analysing a fighter as he is. If Fedor was to fight a few of the UFC Heavyweights I would be genuinely concerned that he could lose but I know you'd be lying to me if you said you knew Fedor wouldn't win.
