it really doesnt sound like dana is making to much excuses,hes basiclly saying that when nog and wandy fought in pride they sometimes fought guys 100lbs heavier then them and it took its toll.if anything hes saying nog and wandy are kinda washed up.danas just saying he didnt agree with the way pride did those freak shows.the staph infection about nog could be true,lets be real here guys,weve never seen nog look so bad and mir look so good before in a fight.i kept thinking to myself during that fight that nog doesnt look right,im pretty sure everyone would agree with me that fedor hits harder then mir,nog took everything fedor had that fight and still was fine,mir hits him with afew arm shots and they stop the fight.nog was still in good position and was ready in guard position.mir looked liked he was in sparring practice with a chump,when has mir ever looked that good standing?mir always seems to get beat in the stand up as far back as i can remember and nog always does well.dont get me wrong i like mir and think his ground game is awesome but that fight just didnt look right,ill bet if they fought again nog wouldnt look that bad.and to top it off i was rooting for mir,it aint like im pissed cause nog lost,im happy with the outcome but im not happy with the way nog fought,that wasnt the nog we are used to seeing.dana usually calls it like it is,ive never really thought of him as a guy who makes to many excuses.i guess well just have to wait and see nog and wandy fight decent opposition again and see where they stand in the fight game,i still think they have afew good wars left in them.
