    Griffin saved himself another beating.

    Unfortunately his replacement is Jason Brilz. Not much of a fight.

    That would have been a hell of a fight, but Jones is scheduled to fight the Janitor @ Versus 2.

    Surely the UFC could have found someone better than Brilz, though.

    This really sucks for Lil Nog because it could have been a big step toward him contending in the division. Seems like its taking forever for the UFC to get him quality opponents so he can prove how good he is.

    I think this is lose/lose for Lil' Nog. If he wins..okay, he beat a nobody. If he loses...well he loses to a nobody.

    Yeah, but a spectacular knockout or submission would win him more notoriety among UFC fans who aren't familiar with him yet and make him out to be a title contender.

    I agree that it is a high risk, low reward fight.

    So long as Nog stays on the card, I'm happy
