STRIKEFORCESTRIKEFORCE is an American professional kickboxing and mixed martial arts promotion company based in San Jose, California. STRIKEFORCE has recently aquired the assets of the now defunked, ELITEXC.
Come on people you honestly think Wanderlei Silva, Mirko Crocop, Josh Barnett are going to win the grand prix? You are all so wrong and I can't wait to get a lot of fake user points off of all of you since you think Nogueira is nothing. Against strikers like Wanderlei and Barnett he can just manhandle and hes already destroyed Crocop for two rounds already. The only person that can beat Nogueira is Fedor by decision. I can't wait to see Nogueira number one contender. This time I hope Fedor loses to him because if he doesn't beat Fedor its strike three. Nogueira is the worlds best fighter besides Fedor people I can't wait to see you Crocop fans cry like women lol.
And not to mention, he beat Fabricio Werdum, the 6th best fighter in this tourny. Josh has beaten the best opponent yet, Nogueira second best opponent. Wanderlei and Crocop were handed easy opponents since they are over rated! Josh Barnett and Nogueira are under rated so are handed hard ass opponents while Wanderlei and Crocop were let off easily. "Fujita, Yoshihida" give me a break.

Seriously, you're not making much sense at all. Since when has Barnett been a striker? Nog got his ass handed to him in Nog/CC round 1. Ricco Rodriguez also whooped Nogueira, but he got screwed in the decision for being a UFC fighter.
I agree Nogueira is good and has a good chance, but fighting styles play a big role in a fight. So I'm definitely not going to say something foolish like Nogueira is definitely going to win the tourney. I can see both Barnett and CC beating him. Barnett is the one that is going to manhandle Nog, not the other way around. I can only see Nog beating him via submission. Same with CC, Nog needs to sub him or he's going to lose via decision IMO.
Both Fujita and Yoshida are legends in Japan. At this point CroCop has the upper hand, he has Silva next then Barnett or Nog who he beat both. The only real fight is Nog vs. Barnett cause to me it can go either way but CroCop is gonna beat Silva, it's not gonna be a walk in the park but CroCop will get it done. As soon as I get 5,000 points it will go to CroCop.
I agree Nog is very underrated but he will have trouble with Barnett, and I'm taking Wandy over CroCop, I don't care how many people say Wandy is overrated he is sick, I think he'll take CroCop via decision. And Nog will take Barnett, Barnett will overpower him but Nog will catch him in a submission. finals will be Nog vs. Wandy. Don't care what anyone says.

I don't think Wandy is overrated but CroCop will beat him. I say Nogueira is undrerrated but right now is not his time, maybe in the next tournament or later this year for a title shot.
Didnt Mark Hunt knock out Crocop but wasnt able to do the same with Silva. I think it will be Crocop and Silva will fight and Silva will knock him out or stoppage in the first round. Though Crocop is nasty, he can't eat a hit like Silva would.
I have to disagree with CONFRONTATION saying that Nog was kicking Crocops butt.
Nog won that fight via submission...But prior to that, CC was in COMPLETE control of that fight.
However...I am in COMPLETE agreement when you say that Nog is underrated.
He is being overlooked by many people right now...I can see him winning the tourney.
being overlooked can be a big advantage... but just because the fans, promoters and press may overlook a fighter does not mean the people who have to fight him are over looking him... if they are.. then that is thier mistake when the person beats them
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira-so under rated its sad
