Barnette is the sleeper, good stand up and solid ground game. Should be interesting.

Default What?

I don't care how many times we've seen Nogueira-Emilianenko, the bottom line is unless FEDOR is in the tourney "Minotauro" will win it. He's already beaten CRO-COP and will dispose of Barnett. He may have more trouble with Silva because of his ferocity but I doubt that. Do some research into the whole fight game and then make some sensible posts. Nogueira wins! No doubt!

Default Total Disrespect

I'm not sure why "Minotauro" gets little to no respect on this site. Is it because of his losses to Emilianenko or the fact that he wins by submission. I can't figure this out. The man is the second best HW in the world and pound for pound Top 5. I think some of the people voting and posting should do some research on Nogueira. He is the premier submission fighter in the world, has great boxing skills, and an amazing chin. His fights with Emilianenko, Sapp, Herring, CRO-COP, and Dan Henderson were amazing, not to mention the clinic he put on for Enson Inoue. Can the man get just a small amount of respect. He deserves more than 17 %.

Default Mma Record

Nogueira's record speaks for itself. Other than Fedor Enilianenko, who is the best fighter in the world, Minotauro has beaten everyone. CRO-COP, Henderson, Coleman, Goodridge, Rodriguez, Herring, Schilt, etc... The list goes on and on. Check it out at Sherdog.

I haven't seen a whole lot of people disrespecting Nog on here.

I'm picking Barnett, I think he's peeking at the right time.
