Yeah this was great, I love PRIDE and it's nice to see a legend that can still win and KO ************s.

Hmm, it isn't like Nogueira has such great stopping power in his hands that if he connects it's good night. I wouldn't call it a fluke. Nogueira did land a few flush shots (and he ate some as well) but eventually he landed too many on Schuab's chin. In 5 years, who will be ranked higher? Schuab, of course. But for now, Schuab wasn't ready for Minotauro.

I'm not crying, you already talked **** the whole time while Nog won and then you come in a thread his fans made and talk more ****. So why don't you stop crying.
