Mh... well.. I donīt think Arona is going to take the title.. so I will go with Rua over Arona. Leaves us with Silva and Overeem. Now to tell the truth, I never liked Overeem.. I hate his guts. But somehow he has impressed me a little for the past 3-4 fights. I donīt think he can beat Silva. But I wouldnīt be suprised if he did. He is tall, strong.. and can strike and also go to the ground. Of course Silva is going to beat him, but all I am saying is, I wouldnīt be suprised.

Looks like Silva vs. Rua in the Final. Silva knows his boy. He will exploit his weaknesses. On the other side, Rua might have too much respect for Silva.

Arona.. Arona is not agressive enough to win this, Arona got destroyed by Jackson. Jackson never had a chance against Shogun.

Overeem is no match for Silva, I see Overeem getting drawwed in to a slugfest with Silva wihch he cannot win, Shogun is going to take care of Arona watch out for a decision though, a descison to Shogun will lead to Silva beating down Shogun due to the fatigue issue..BUT the fight of the night AWWW MAN Its finally here CROCOP AND FEDOR, THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTS IN MAA HISTORY MARK MY WORDS.. Alot of people are counting Mirko out, he might just stun the MMA world, I look for Mirko's Left leg to supply the KO....

Great Night for MMA !!

You are right about Overeem and Silva.. I also see Overeem loosing due to the slugfest. I donīt think Arona and shogun will go the distance, but we will see.

Yes Fedor and CroCop.. that is def. the highlight. CropCop has the ability to beat Fedor..But I just donīt see him doing it. Fedor wonīt let him do what he does best.. that is kick. He will probably ground and pound him. Or he will go straight up with him, and try to finish it quick and Fedor is no joke in striking. I got 1000 on Fedor as soon my points go up.. I just placed 1000 on Hopkins.

Did CropCop train in Kyukushinkai? He reminds me of my ex-Kyukushinkai trainer..

I can tell you honestly that I'm not sure about his complete training history. I tried doing a quick search but to no avail. A guy I know speaks Russian and Croation so he checks some pretty cool sites that I can't understand. I'll ask him and let you know what he tells me.

In any case he has a stunning MMA record. He only lost to Minotauro, but he was beating him up, until he got submitted. And the knock out from Randleman, and that was a lucky shot.

Other than that.. he koīed most of his opponents.

Very impressive fighter..

Not too sure I agree about the "lucky shot" statement. Randleman tried to throw a punch and it landed....not much luck to it. Was it a "lucky guillotine" that Cro Cop caught Randleman with in the second fight? I'm just not a big fan of calling something a lucky punch.

CroCop, usually wonīt let you get him like that.. infact, I never seen it. This is what I mean with Luckypunch..In a way you are right.. There is no such thing as a lucky punch.. everything one does is intended. However one might call a punch lucky based on the probability on it landing.

I see what your saying, but calling it a lucky punch takes some of the merit out of Randleman winning. He came in with the right gameplan and excuted it well. Take advantage of Cro Cop thinking all he was going to do is shoot, fake a shot, and hit him with a left hook. BANG. Down he went.

Randy doesn't usually get hit like Chuck him at 53, but I wouldn't call that a lucky punch either.

I figured it would be Overeem and Silva they probably want the last fight to be Shogun and Silva you know to get the whole Studnet vs Master type thing going to see if shogun is ready to take Silva place. I wonder if Silva will have no mercy and will he stare him down. Also where do you guys get those video clips you got for picks at.

lucky shot? its the only strike thrown in that fight. Randleman new that kick was coming, CroCop knew he wanted to throw it. wrestlers have VERY explosive legs and combine that with a big hook and down went CroCop. is Kevin the better fighter? no, but that was his day.

Yeah, I think Cro Cop would beat him probably 9 out of 10 times.

Crocop's loss to Randleman was a shock, no doubt. However, Mirko got KTFO by Kevin and he deserves all the credit in the world for that.

Oh most definitely. I wasn't trying to take anything away from Randleman. He's still the guy who knocked out Cro Cop. I just think on average Cro Cop would win more.

I agree.. and as you saw, CroCop came in prepared the next fight, and didnīt give Randleman the time of the day. Randleman is a cool fighter.. he needs to start winning a couple of his fights again. Not that he is lacking any confidence , with his "5 minute Fight" predictions in his pre-fight interviews. The loss of his dad recently probably wasnīt easy either. In any case.. CroCop is a way superior fighter than he is. But credit is given where credit is due. He knocked him out. S*** happens.
