I've always been a fan of the Nog brothers, but after reading this article, it makes me that much bigger of a fan of both of them. If it was not them, Anderson Silva would've never fought in the UFC.

We'd probably think that GSP is the perfect MMA fighter and the only way to achieve long-term greatness would be to know how not to lose better than anyone on the planet.
(And I'm not knocking on GSP, with what he was given that's probably HIS only way and kudos for that, but I'm still happy we got to see the artistic way to greatness along side the scientific way to greatness).
Thank you Nog Bros. Seriously. Thank you!

Plus, I think GSP could fight any style he wants and take those crazy chances but he's so smart he's afraid. Not an insult but he said "I'm willing to admit my fears to myself and accept them" and he then fights around danger to keep himself safe at all times whereas some guys are in the moment and will throw their body on the line for the win. GSP is so good at everything that he doesn't need to do that ever.
