Randy has is has a better standup and we all know he is a world class wrestler. If Randy could keep the fight standing he wins and that is my opinion. Of course Nog's career looks better on paper but if you look at the way Randy dominated Tim and the way Tim dominated Nog then you got to be crazy to think that Nog's standup is better than Randy. But of course everyone is going to resort back to Tim saying he was injured and that he shouldn't have took the fight. I would say the same thing if I had just been thrown around like a little girl by a 43 year old man. Standing up Randy hung with Tim Sylvia and that’s something Nog couldn’t do.

I think Barnett would stand a very good chance, he has all the right tools. If that was Barnett instead of Hunt in that position, I beleive believe Barnett would have definately of had Fedor tapping. As above, I also put Barnett above Randy. I have to disagree. I think Barnett would stand a very good chance, he has all the right tools.

I am not to bothered about his chances. I do not think he is in the same league as Nog, and I do not think he has done enough to justify a title shot. Typical UFC, some fighters have to work their @sses off, but when you are a UFC favourite, you really do get looked after. My point was, what has Mir done to deserve a title shot.

Start watching him from like 2003... When he took all cro cop had (when he was on the top of his game) and submitted cro cop! See his fight against Sergei Kharitonov (IMO top 10) in the 2004 Heavyweight Grand Prix, and then the Hearing fight from the same tournament when he finished him with an anaconda choke. See the shockwave Pride vs. K-1 when he got slammed all over the matt by Bob Sapp! See his fights with Barnett or him Dominating Wabricio Werdum This cant all just be luck dude?

Nog has been calling Randy out for months now, where's Couture at? B*tching, thats where! I think Nog learned English just to call Randy out. Jimmie, I am going to be dead honest with you. Couture has never fought a heavyweight like Nogueira, while Noguiera has faced better then Couture and been successful....for years! I really believe that Nog would submit Randy. Standing up, Nog might be a little bettrer than Randy. Randy's strength is the ground game, and he will want no parts of going to the ground with Randy. Believe that! Randy does not have the chin that Nog has and Randy isn't half the Warrior that Nog has proven to be throughout his entire career! The only advantage I give to Randy is in the Clinch. Nog might be a worse match up for Randy then Fedor, believe it or not! Jimmie, you got it the other way around….Nog is a bad match up for Randy..

All I'm saying is that he would be a bad matchup for Nog. Just as Wanderlei is for Rampage and Rampage is for Chuck. Don't put words in my mouth. Didn't I just get through saying that Fedor is number one until proven otherwise. I don't even like Fedor so I'm trying to be real as I can. Based on Nog's recent performance getting mauled by tim until he got the submission. I think Randy would beat Nog right now. I didn't say he was the best LINX.
