can anyone see this fight going to anything but a decision?

nog's best shot at a stoppage would be either triangle or maybe a punch combo

josh's best chance would be armbar I think

if this is the pairing then I gotta think this is going the distance and the winner is gonna be tired


CC vs Silva could end in KO in the first few minutes but on the other hand some1 could get leg kicked a lot or injure their hand but that is less likely

I think CC is gonna be the betting favorite but the odds are gonna be so close it's insane

I agree with you on Barnett - Noguera. Neither one seem to have an overwhelming advantage in any area enough to call it anyhting but a decision. Silva - Cro Cop would be excellent, depending on where that one goes though it could just as easily end up as a decision fight as well. If those are the matchups I would call Silva - Noguera in the finals with Silva taking it all.

Is there a betting line for Cro Cop and Silva to be a draw?

[Warheart]

Nog would finish Barnett.

Probably by submission in the second round.

[Canned]

Let's get something straight: Barnett isn't going to armbar big Nog.

[tequilaboy]

Decision I guess

[indoslikeacdc]

They are so similiar in style that it's hard to pick a winner. Both are ground wizards with good striking. Nog is faster, Barnett is stronger, and both are as tough as a man comes. I'm picking Nog by split decision after a primarily stand-up fight.

there needs to be a winner for final round

I can see Nog submitting Barnett, but on the other hand... I can only see Barnett winning by decision. ( Either by controlling nog on the ground, or beating him standing.

I think this fight will go to the decision. I see Nog taking it via superior standup.

I think both are well knowledged enough to avoid any submission attempts.
