I see Manny taking this one. He's such a little wrecking ball that Nate will have trouble controling him.

Manny's Judo background will make it tough for Nate. It's hard for BJJ guys to deal with a strong Judo style. The clinch is something that Nate tries to look for and it will be bad for him in this fight.

Manny has proven to be the more aggressive fighter (at least until he gets them down) and he has also shown that he doesn't mind killing time to keep from giving up a bad position.

Manny will take this fight if he gets Nate on his back(which he probably will) I actually dont see Nate winning the fight standing either. Nate's stand up was not all that in any of his fights. Like BJ said: "Manny is just like a ball of muscle" Dont under-estimate Manny again..history shows he will prove you wrong. Oh and by the way..this thread belongs in the Ultimate Fighter Tv forum.

That's exactly my point. I think Dana still relates short guys with boxing, where clinching and wrestling don't come into play. Nate's best chance is on the ground. I don't believe Nate is fast enough to pull some freaky Chonan sh*t on Manny, nor strong enough to submit him via joint type lock.

There are two reasons why I placed this thread here:
1: Intent on discussing a UFC fight and the fighters careers.
2: Obviously better responses here.
