This Looks Like Nog Is Gonna Take This Thing..he'll Submit Barnett..crocop Will Beat Wandy By Decision, And Than Get Submitted By Nog!! Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Pride Grand Prix Champion!!

 

[jdun11]

waht site did u get that crocop shadow boxing thing..thats friggin sick!

 

[Confrontation]

Whats up with people thinking Wanderlei, Barnett, and Crocop in the finals? It's going to be Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for sure taking it. The only person he has ever lost to is Fedor because Fedor is the best. Nogueira is the second best and he is going to submit everyone on the ground because thats who he is. Nogueira for sure will manhandle Crocop like he did the first time, and tool Wanderlei and Barnett like he does to every crazy striker except Fedor. Nogueira is going to win mark my words. If you don't believe and think Crocop or Barnett then you're dead wrong. It's going to be Crocop and Nogueira in the finals and Crocop will be owned just like last time to Nogueira.

CroCop is going to KO Silva and go to the finals. Josh Barnett is going to assassinate Rogueira and go to the finals. What most people don't know is CroCop is working on his ground game, so he is gonna make it hard for anybody to beat him. CroCop for the win. Hopefully, Wanderlei won't get injured and can fight Liddell.

 

[Confrontation]

Nogueira is so under rated it's just annoying. Barnett can't take out Nogueira, no striker can except Fedor which was decision!

Barnett is not really a striker, he is a pro-wrestler! He will make Nog tap and face CroCop in the finals. CroCop has already beaten Barnett twice and won't hesitate to do it again.

 

[HARD_KNOCKS]

I'm taking Wandy over CroCop, CroCop is gonna get knocked the F**k out. And Kameleon you said Barnett is gonna make Nog tap, what were you smoking when you said that? I mean really no one is gonna make Nog tap for a very very long time in this business. It's gonna be an Wandy vs. Nog final, and Wandy will win only if he stays on his feet, hes gotta sprawl and brawl, but as soon as they hit the ground I don't think Wandys gonna be able to get back up, I don't know these 2 are both some of my favourite fighters it would be a good one.

 

[Kameleon]

They'll fight in the semi-finals and then come back later that night and fight to crown the Absolute Champion. Silva won't get past CroCop. The match to watch is Barnett vs. Nogueira.

 

[jdun11]

i think the match to watch is silva crocop..i dont see any way that barnett beats nog..i just dont see it

 

[choper_bm]

I'm glad that many of you wants to see MIrko as Champion,cause you all know that he wants to see only Fedor in front of him;and the other reason is that I'm from Croatia, so I'll be supporting Him till the end

really,it's not easy to predict who will be in the finals and I don't understand how some of you can say with such surence that particular guy will win because very small details decides

I only hope Mirko will win this tournament and be able to fight Fedor for the crown

Ajmo,Mirko!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jdun11]

dont get me wrong i think barnett is a tuff guy, i just dont see how any of u guys think he is gonna beat nog..there isnt one aspect of mma that he is superior to nog..look for nog to finish him in the 2nd round

 

[mullethaiku]

So can we order this in the US on PPV live or at least the same day? Sounds like a great final 4, and they will have the final fight the same night? Sorry, I am fairly new to Pride, I may have to check this out

Uh, what about wrestling and grappling? Barnett is capable of beating Nog the same way Fedor and Ricco did. Sit on top of him and hit him every now and then. If Nog doesn't submit Barnett I don't see him winning.

 

[UFCFAN33]

Should be some awesome finals, lets go silva!

You can order it on PPV. For the Bushido Survival, since it will be in Las Vegas it will air the next day on Fox Sport Network.

Whoever voted Wanderlei are sad. Wanderlei Silva will definitely not win the grand prix. I wish Nogueira would but he will make it to the finals and be owned by my man Josh Barnett. Plus a fourth match between Fedor and Nogueira would be predictable and just stupid. I actually think Josh Barnett could beat Fedor.

 

[Kameleon]

Fedor would knock the hell out of Barnett unless he takes Fedor to the ground. There is a 3-way tie on the poll with Nog at the bottom, I guess most people are underestimating him.

 

[FunkDoctor]

Well Nog will be in the finals. I think CC vs Wand can go either way but I think Wand has shown how strong he is for this tourney. I think he KO's CC too. People keep thinking CC will win cuz he was "green" in their first fight. Funny no one mentions that when he goes on to fight Hunt and Igor in that same year.

No f%^&ing way. Fedor would annihilate Josh. He would get pwnd on his feet and you really think any human being could control Fedor on the ground?! Come on, just stop.
