    Re: UFC 81 Superbowl Eve

    I'm too unsure about the 2 main events to call it. I think the smart money is on Mir but there really are 2 different Mir fighters and it depends which shows up. Nog and Silvia I really don't know either, I think Silvia has the advantage but I really really don't want to see him win.

    I'm probably alone on this, but I bet Lesnar wins. I'm probably alone on this as well, I actually want him to win. I don't know why, but I want him to beat the crap outta Mir.

    As for Big Nog vs. Timmah, I'm picking Nog to win. Tim isn't that good, all he does is jabjabjab. I think Nog has a good enough chin with amazing sub possibility, and he'll demonstrate it against Tim.

    Nathan over Horn by pure domination. Horn has PLENTY of experience, but his time as a top 20 are long gone. Nathan is still young too, and I believe that since his knockout loss to The Spider, he'll come back stronger than ever.

    Tyson Griffon by domination, also.

    Nog beat Shilt, who is a bigger, stronger, better striker. I don't see Sylvia as much of a threat. As for Lesnar and Mir, it's really hard to tell anything about Lesnar, but I could see him being susceptible to submission, and I want to see that, because he was the worst most ridiculous tattoo in mma.

    fixed.

    i got Mir by armbar, Tim by not losing. (if you watched enough silvia matches you know what i mean)

    also can't wait to see if Horn has found himself again...i'm hoping he comes in and dominates Nathan the way he used to dominate everyone.

    Re: UFC 81 Superbowl Eve

    I'm really interested how Lesner reacts to getting punched for real. A lot of guys talk a lot of mess and feel good about themselves after beating up on stiffs. Their whole outlook changes when they finally face someone just as good or better than him. The real fighters take a punch and will dig deep to pull out a win. The posers will give up their back so they can get choked out.

    I will be rooting for Lesner because I don't really like Mir's color commentary on the WEC bouts.

    I'm rooting for Lesnar as well. I don't really like Frank Mir, but he is one hell of a fighter.

    Brock demanded to fight a contender, lets see how he does against a former champion. I respect the guy for refusing to be fed people just b/c he is a big name. But at the same time, that experience could have helped him out.

    Nog vs. Silvia........ I really hate Tim Silvia, but I underrate him in every fight he goes into. Couture is picking Silvia over Nog, and I can see that happening as long as Silvia "doesn't loose" as stated below lol.

    Couture is picking Sylvia over Nog because people have been criticizing him for "ducking out" on Nog. If Sylvia can beat Nog, then Randy was right in not fighting Nog (via MMAth).

    I'm telling you all that Nog is going to put it too Tim and show why Randy is ducking him.

    And if Nog wins it also diminishes Couture's "surprise" win against Sylvia. Kind of a no brainer on who Couture would root for.
