How do you hope the OWGP semi-finals are paired?
 

With the following guys remaining, how would you organize the remainder of this tournament:

-Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
-Mirko CroCop
-Josh Barnett
-Vanderlei Silva


I'd have to go with:

Nog vs. Barnett
CroCop vs. Silva II

for my semi-finals. I badly want to see both these fights, and this would guarantee them, and no matter how you set up the semi's, you're guaranteed an amazing main event. If this is how they are going to be set up, I'd say Nog and CroCop win, and then I got Nog in the finals in the rematch with CroCop.

What's everyone else hope for in the semi's? Once you got that figured out, finish the rest of the tourney based on your opinion through the finals like I just did.

I agree with your semi's
Nog vs. Barnett
Crocop vs. Silva II

the finals would be
Nog vs. Crocop

the winner would be Nog.

man no matter how they're matched up there going to be great fights.

I voted for Nog vs Barnett and Mirko vs Wand on the PrideOfficial site.

So so far we all want the same semi's. Just to confirm, Ninja - finish up your bracket. Do you then got Nog and CroCop in the finals with Nog winning like me and killerinstinct?

I'd actually have Silva vs Nog in the finals with Nog winning. I have a feeling if Silva vs Cro Cop II happens that Silva will win.

last time they fought Silva did beat him up pretty good(technically a draw b/c there were no judges) ,but Silva's body was welped up pretty good from Crocop's kicks.There was a huge bruise right below Silvas rib cage.You know that has to hurt.

Yeah the 1st fight was tailor made for Mirko to win and Wand still took it. Mirko is definitely much better at MMA now then he was then though. It will be an even tougher fight for Wand. I'm just going with my gut on this one. It's usually wrong though.

yeah it was designed for Crocop to win with the special rules and all.

i got wand vs cro
josh vs nog

then the finals

nog vs wand

=

SILVA ABOSOLUTE CHAMPINON OF THE WORLD

i want to see Barnett get a beating...

so i was thinking,

Barnett vs Nog would be pointless, Nog would submit him out and i want Barnett to be on his feet.

so it's either Cro Cop or Wand

i dont want to see Cro Cop vs Barnett, cuz it's been done before (even though the first time was an injury)

my vote is Wand vs Barnett
