    The aftermath of UFC 106 has set up 2 easy fights to make for 108 or beyond

    Paulo Thiago vs Josh Koscheck : A grudge rematch if there ever was one Josh needs another win IMO before a Title fight and what better way of building up this fight by fighting the 1st man to stop him although Thiago isn't that close to the Title picture with Kos wanting to fight more often this seems a no brainer.

    Griffin vs Lil Nog : Another easy fight to make depending on Griffin's health this would be an ideal Co Main Event for UFC 108 which badly needs this type of fight to round off the card.
    Nog is probably only a win off a Title shot after Saturdays mauling of Luiz Cane and beating a Griffin would be a step in the right direction.

    Yes mate for sure that makes sence, Paulo has only 1 loss on his CV and it was to Fitch who is top 3 if not 2nd best Ww in the world. Kos got beat by him in a KO he disputed so I think your completley right about this, Kos needs to try to avenge this one before he makes noise about a title shot.

    I like the Idea of Nog vs Griffin they have been ranked right becide each other for a few months now and It is a great fight, they both have good standup and Bjj, Id love to see it although I still would prefer to see Nog vs Randy. I just think that a cool fight. I say Nog beats Griffin and looks good doing so if they meet. I think he beats him on the feet or on the ground, forrest would have to figth a smart fight, Use his Size and leg kicks to his advantage or it could be another early night.

    On a random note... is it just me or did Big Nog look HUGE! When Little Nog was walking out of the cage with him after the Randy fight they looked similar size, after the Cane fight Big Nog came in and looked Huge in comparison, I hope he isnt packing on weight again because he said he wants to figth at UFC 110.

    I dunno Ben maybe it was those unflattering Affliction T- Shirts that made Nog look big. Very Happy

    HAHA yeah thats gotta be it!!! Lil Nog looks a good bit older as well... although he moves like he is 10 years younger... there really is some difference in the speed and standup ability.
