UFC 81: Nog vs Flabby
#7946496 - 01/28/08 05:51 PM (16 years, 4 days ago) |

I do believe Nogueira will find a way to beat Tim Sylvia.
Nog's just been so consistent against strong competition over the years, he's been battle-tested more than any other heavyweight of recent.
I don't even think Tim has the advantage standing. Nog's standup isn't powerfull, but he lands shots, he keeps it technical, and uses combinations improvedly.
And on the ground it's pretty much over once nog gets the takedown.
the only fighter whose really thoroughly beaten Nogueira is Fedor.
Lesnar vs Mir, i don't think is as good as a matchup as people think. I think Mir is going to submit him, but Lesnar may show signs of potential.

Damn I hate sylvia. But unfortunetly I really think he's going to squeek out a decision win...as always. I hope not, but I see sylvia winning by decision.
I also think mir is going to submit him. Something crazy could happen though...mir might be really overwhelmed by the power of lesnar.

the way i see it, almost every fighter whose had a ground advantage against Sylvia has beaten him atleast once, all except for Jeff Monson.
Monson sucks though, the man got KOed by Pedro Rizzo.

The way I see it, I hope Sylvia and Lesnar win just to fuck with the heads of everybody who really follows and loves MMA.
Now I don't think they will, but man oh man it'd be funny.

lesnar has legit amateur wrestling and one hell of a shot. i checked out a few vids of brock in college, wrestling on youtube. i think he may be able to fuck mir's metal leg up with a seriously hard shot. lesnar is one of the few UFC HWs who is going to be able to throw around 265lb guys like ragdolls.
im taking brock to win a BORING lnp decision over MIr. I think Lesnar will power out of any sub Mir tosses up. Also I believe Mir will get tired with lesnar laying on him.
as far as nog vs tim goes, of course i want nog to win. however tim is always able to stall out a decision. nog has legit boxing, not much power but the sickest subs in mma. his problem with the ground is getting people there, his takedowns aren't really super effective. tim has a great fucking sprawl, as much as most people hate to give that boring troll any compliments. sylvia isnt knocking nog out with his striking. nog cant be actually KOed.
all that said i'll take nog by sub in round 3
to finish off my picks i'll take
marquardt by decision belcher by tko griffin by decision lytle by TKO martin by KO heath by decision emerson by decision

Dealing with that reach is going to be tough.
But i think Nog is crafty enough to get Tim to the ground. If he was able to takedown Fedor, Kharitonov, Cro-cop, and Bob Sapp, i think he's capable of taking Tim down.

i wouldn't say most
Werdum, Yokoi, Fedor, sure.
But Bob Sapp, Kharitonov, Cro-cop were trying to avoid his gaurd throughout their fights.

Nog won
yayyyyy i'm happy
i was worried after the first two rounds, but i figured the second Nog got a takedown, he'd take the quickest oppurtinity to get the submission.
It just continues the fact that Nog jgets better through a fight.

I thought it was a weak break by Yamasaki in the Lesnar-Mir fight. With that said, Lesnar looked antsy, but if he sticks at will be something.

What did you guys think of the stoppage due to hitting the back of the head?
I was at a small house gathering to watch the fight and EVERYONE said that it was a terrible call on the refs part. And I said "that's the rules and that's what he did, you got to call it."

it's fine, people who are new to the sport will always react with the commentators.
But the restart was fine, hits in the back of the head can stun your opponent, and there's been many many competitions both in MMA and boxing where the fight gets restarted even with as small of a back-head strike as suttle as that.
