Will Barnett SUBMIT Minotauro?

Think about it, what are the chances? I think pretty high. They're about the same height, only Barnett got a little muscle and strength on Nog. Their standup is reletively even, with Nog being the more technical boxer and Barnett a power striker, but none of them really possessing the KO ability. Both of them have strong chins and will not be finished via strikes.
We all know Minatauro likes to pull guard, and with Barnett he'll have no other choice since barnett is the stronger, better and heavier wrestler who is hard to take down via double leg. When Barnett is on top on the ground, I think he will control Nog with his sheer strength and he can pull off a sub. Not that Nog doesn't have great sub devense, but just because Barnett will overpower him and may squeeze him untill for the first time Minatauro "cries uncle" (tapps).

What do you all think?

What a silly thread. I see Barnett winning by decision though.

as silly as your response? I don't think so. Decision is a given here, my conviction is that he has what it takes to submit Nog. if you don't have an answer, don't post.

Anybody that says Josh 100% can't sub nog is a fucking tard...he already subbed him in ADCC. I'm not saying he WILL sub him or that Nog can't sub him (he can!) but saying "No way Barnett can sub Nog" shows how stupid you are...

I see this going to decision again and Josh will not be the favorite so he'll have to put on a show to get the JD.
