I just don't see anyway that Mir wins this one.
Mir has no knockout power whatsoever and that seems to be the most vulernable chance to get Nog.
There is no chance Mir can submit Nog and I just can't see Mir out wrestling Nog for a decision.
Nog has 4 losses all by decision to Fedor twice, Dan Henderson once, and Barnett once(which I thought Nog won).
MIR IS NOWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF THESE GUYS.
I think Nog either submits him or gets the decision.

i'm not betting using this logic

but to me Nog looks like a very faded fighter, too many wars

He has looked that way of late,but always gets the job done.

Mir is looked weak since his return from the bike accident. HE WAS VERY LUCKY IN THE BROCK FIGHT.

Nog will have no issues in this one.

word

prolly out of all the guys that came from pride

Nog has been the most consistent winner in the octagon

it's cool to see a guy with bullet scars on his back fighting lol

i saw on the ufc ad show on spike that those scars were from nogueira getting run over by a truck when he was a kid...ran right over his chest....

he didn`t break a bone but his ribcage punctured his lung and liver....he was in a a coma for 4 days....they said if hadn`t been such an amazingly strong kid,he would have died....

he`s been a a champion in brazil since he was a kid....

he`s basically lived this mma thing his whole life...literally...

Well the same Nog showed up that has shown up of late. Mir did what none of the others did.
He waited and didn't over commit to the ground as he let Nog get up until it was time to pounce.

Congrats to Mir, he really showed smarts and MORE THAN DESERVED that win.
