....because he may still suffer from broken ribs, which he possibly might receive from the brutalizing kicks of CROCOP!!!! 2nd round matches are in. It's Silva vs CroCop, and Nog vs Barnett.:2: Wanderlei Silva in his most recent intervew has stated that in one night, he will face CroCop and then the Noguira/Barnett winner, then go on to destroy Chuck Liddell and then face Fedor early next year for the heavyweight title. Phew.....Wanderlei Silva better train hard, this is no walk in the park. Who could ever possibly overcome the likes of CroCop and Noguira or Barnett in 1 night, then be recovered to face Liddell 2 months later and then have aspirations to meet Fedor Emelianenko soon after? Most likely, Silva will fail at some point on this road but it'll be fun while it lasts.
If Wandy beats both Cro Cop and Nog on the same night, it may very well be the greatest feat in MMA history. That said, it wont happen
Yeah, that's how I see it. I can't visualize Silva with his style being able to beat 2 fighters of that calibre. Especially since they're considerably bigger men. If it was on seperate cards, 3 months inbetween, then possibly he might have a chance to get a lucky decision if possible. But 2 in 1 night, he'll be spent after the 1st fight and it's hardly a guarantee he'll survive the wrath of CroCop who is considerably superior to his 2002 form whom Silva fought to a draw.
And Silva is bigger and better than he was against CroCop in 2002 in which they both fought to a DRAW. Mirko CroCop is overrated IMO.
It was only a draw cos the fight didn't have a result. Cro Cop got the better of Silva in that fight and only a moron would disagree. He'll do it again as well, IMO.
.... Is Nog being given a free ride into the finals? I am pretty sure there is this guy named Josh Barnett still in it who should be fighting Nog. barnett is a tough style for Nog IMO.
True, very true. No denying that whatsoever. Barnett may take the whole thing for all we know. No guarantees that Nog can go through this guy.
Nog is better on his feet and works fine from the bottom. Barrnet will have to ground it out. That said, I hate that fat steroid eater and he ain't winning this fight. Viva Nog.
nog is my favourite. i love his submissions. plus he looks like one big tough mean motherfucker. naturally big guy not a pumped up homosexual.
