Then it's 15-20%, then 20-35%...at some point he had to feel the reward outweighed the risk.


I'm very interested in seeing his comeback. Despite the beatings he's taken, he's young, and marketable. I don't think they'd give him lesnar, because if he beats brock, brock is done as a legitimate threat in the eyes of the casual fan. But if he beats a C level guy [Struve, Schaub] we'd get to see if there was an increase in his performance, and you can start rebuilding his credibility as a top performer again, and start looking at B level guys, like a rematch with Mir.

But whom would really have interest in seeing someone of Nogs caliber fight a C level guy? If anything Nog should want to redeem his loss to Mir.

I think Werdum could break Brock's arm, but Nog at this point I don't think would be able to take the damage.

I agree. I don't think Nog can break brocks arm as well.

. I think he would be part of the canvas by that point. kinda like the beating bob sapp put on him before the sub. He takes to many beatings to get a sub. The strong guys like Brock and cain would donky kong him bad.
