Nog outboxes him. Cain will take him down, beat him up a little. Nog will sub him in the second round. I could also see Cain beating Nog up for a decision too.
VELASQUEZ-NOGUERIA!!!!!!!!
A heavyweight showdown between fellow le contenders, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez, appears to be all set for UFC 108.
According to Tatame.com, Nogueira’s manager recently confirmed the bout to Sensei Sportv’s blog.
UFC 108 is expected to take place on January 2 from Las Vegas, Nevada, with a possible heavyweight championship bout between Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin acting as the headliner.
The winner of the bout between Nogueira and Velasquez will likely be next in line for a crack at the UFC heavyweight championship.
Nogueira is fresh off of his fight of the night victory over Randy Couture at UFC 102 following a TKO defeat at the hands of Frank Mir during UFC 92, while Velasquez has yet to taste defeat in his professional career, most recently racking up back to back victories over the likes of Cheick Kongo and Ben Rothwell.

Big Nog was and still is a great fighter...one of the best. But I cant go against Cain. I put all my faith in him. I believe he is the real deal, and I will continue to do so until he proves not worthy. I am by no means counting Nog out however.
Cain wins by decision..
Cain takes it...Nog is breaking down and I have been saying forever the dude is way older than he claims.
I could believe that. Dikembe Mutombo doesnt even know his real age. They guessed it. He says he is actually older than his age listed.
Honestly, I've never really followed Cain, nor had I seen him fight before the last PPV -- and I must say, I hope he gets his ing bell rung. Why? "Brown Pride" tattoo'd all over his chest. I HATE that . How is that any different than a white guy getting "White Pride" tatted up on his chest? Oh, that's right, the white guy would be slammed by every media outlet in the world, he'd be kicked out of the UFC, and he'd never fight anywhere again.
I repeat, I HATE THAT . Go ahead, be proud, but don't be a butt .
yeah it's pretty y. big nog will submit his ass. i like cain but i can't seem him standing a chance against big nog if big nog is healthy.
Thats probably the biggest tattoo ive ever seen
what a ing joke mma is becoming
"Coolio will be replacing DMX in the anticipated MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) brawl that DMX backed away from last week.
As reported earlier, DMX was slated to jump in the ring against fighter Eric Martinez next month but the rapper pulled out citing safety concerns.
The promoter for the fight, Thunder Promotions, claimed that DMX wanted the fight fixed and they shot down his request.
According to TMZ, Coolio will now be taking on Martinez in Alabama on December 12th.
Thunder Promotions claims Coolio is taking the upcoming brawl ‘seriously’."
Don't pay any attention to the freak shows, that's not real MMA
James Malec was on Friday sentenced to a maximum of 15 years in prison after being convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his stepson, UFC and EliteXC veteran Justin Eilers, this past December in Canyon County, Idaho, according to IdahoStatesman.com.
Malec was convicted of the crime in September and will serve a minimum of six-and-a-half years.
The sentence was the maximum allowed under the manslaughter guideline. Prosecutors had initially sought a second-degree murder charge, which would have carried a heavier penalty.
Holy crap. An actual omoplata finish!! Joe Rogan must have busted a nut when he saw this. It happens at about 2:50 into the video.
Gotta agree with you here..
damn and he was getting worked bad..
Evans-Silva headlines UFC 108
By MMAWeekly.com staff
A light heavyweight tilt between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva has been moved to main event status at UFC 108 on Jan. 2 in Las Vegas.
The fight was given a bump after heavyweight headliner Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira was forced to withdraw from a headlining bout with Cain Velasquez due to a severe staph infection.
The UFC announced the change Monday in an official press release.
“The bout between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva is a fight we always talked about as a main event, and now these guys have the chance to headline UFC 108 and kick off the New Year in impressive fashion,” UFC President Dana White said in the release. “At the same time, we wish Antonio Nogueira a speedy recovery and can’t wait for his return.”
Nogueira apologized to his fans for the change in plans.
“I am so disappointed,” the 33-year-old Nogueira said. “I am sorry to my fans, but I have learned from my mistakes, and I’m not going into a fight unless I can give 100 percent my best performance. I have to be in top form, and then I can guarantee an exciting fight, a battle like what they saw at UFC 102.
“I appreciate all the fans around the world who are supporting me right now so much, and my next fight, a great fight, I give to them.”
The former Pride champion’s illness was just the latest in a string of injuries and withdrawals that have drastically altered the promotion’s cards through the first quarter of 2010. In a press conference following last weekend’s UFC 105, White said he had never experienced such a high volume of withdrawals in his nine years at the promotion’s helm.
“Being able to get right back in the mix and right back into a main event is an honor,” Evans said. “This is the first step in getting my le back. Thiago is a dangerous fighter standing up and on the ground and I always relish an opportunity to fight the best and put on a great show for the fans.”
“I feel that the bigger the fight, the better I do,” Silva said. “Being in the main event for a UFC card has always been a goal of mine. Rashad is a great fighter, but he’d better come prepared in all aspects of mixed martial arts.”

According to Yahoo Sports!, Lyoto Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will meet in a light heavyweight le rematch in Montreal on May 1.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The rematch between Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight belt is set.
“Lyoto Machida will fight May 1 in Montreal against ‘Shogun’,” Dana White told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday.
White had promised a rematch as soon as possible after the unbeaten Machida defeated Rua in a unanimous but highly debated decision on Oct. 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. White was one of many onlookers who believed Rua had won the fight.
All three judges disagreed, allowing Machida to retain his championship, giving Machida scores of 48-47 across the baord.
A rematch was tentatively scheduled for Jan 2, 2010 in Las Vegas, but was postponed while Machida recovered from minor injuries.
The fight will headline the UFC’s third-annual spring event in Montreal, where it twice staged sold-out shows at the city’s 21,000-seat Bell Centre. Hometown hero Georges St. Pierre reclaimed his welterweight championship against Matt Serra at UFC 83 in April 2008. Middleweight champion Anderson Silva defended his belt against Thales Leites at UFC 97 in April 2009.
jan 2 to may 1 for minor injuries? what a pussy
not sure that's a main event that will excite too many people in Canada..
They might still feel burned by the crapfest that was Silva and Leites..
''Karo Parisyan has ed over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again!!! He will not be fighting saturday or ever again in the UFC!!''
