|  Pride Absolute Poll?
I was going over the latest poll for the Pride Absloute and was very surprised to see that Antonio Nogueira and Josh Barnett got the least amount of votes. This must say something about the people on this sight who are voting. It is very well known that Nogueira is the second best HW in the world and Barnett may be the fourth best HW in the world behind CRO COP. I think that everyone picking Silva to win it all are hoping for a Liddell match-up that's not going to happen. Wanderlei might beat CRO COP but he couldn't beat Barnett and certainly can not beat Minotauro. My pick for the tournament is and always has been Antonio Rodrigo "MINOTAURO" Nogueira.

I personally thought Fujita's chin, wrestling, and size would put Wandy at a disadvantage.. and I was proved wrong so until Wand loses im not pickin against him again.

Dont take it personally.

To vote Cro Cop over the Nog tells alot right there , but whatever I have been tryn to prove this since May that alot of these fools on here dont know to much about MMA as a whole, maybe UFC but that aint sayn much.
