pride h/w tournament

[gracilva]

Just interested in everyones opinion on who will win the
H/W PRIDE TOURNAMENT.
My pick is NOG
Even though that punching machine FEDOR is in it

[aseepish]

I`ll second that. Nogueira is one of the more talented fighters out there, but he does have some problems dealing with big powerful guys like Feodor and Crocop.

I'm hopeing that by having already fought them
he has learnt from his, (imo) mistake of try to fight them from the guard.
I've also heard that he's been doing alot of stand up training.
Anyone who can beat Fedor though, deserves to take the tournament.

Doesn't anyone follow PRIDE? , or isn't anyone interested?
It is the best MMA organisation in the world and this tournament
looks like its gonna be a war.
Just curious at the disinterest?

I personally like Pride very much. As for the winner of the tournament I am pretty positive on Nog. Great ground game, offensive guard, good submissions, I personally think he should enter ADCC tournament. I am a big fan of any of the Brazilian Top Team. They always come up with new ways to take a person down no matter how hard they are to take down, (example Bustamante vs Liddel, Bustamante won that in my mind, Bustamante vs Jackson, Sperry vs Igor, and a lot of Nogs matches.) They are true revolutionaries of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu coming out with new stuff for the whole triangle sport bjj, no gi, and vale tudo bjj.

Too true mate, and the technique is smoooooth.
Its a pleasure to watch NOG fight.

Yep. I liked the Nog v Enson match, one submission attempt, to submission defence non stop from start to finish, and it all looked like it was one move.

Didn't mind seeing the Ensons corner/Referee altercation either.

Like I said, Brazilian Top Team are geniuses, finding new ways to use bjj in vale tudo and to take people down. I am still curious why Nog has not entered ADCC, I think he would dominate. Besides that the Brazilian Top Team defenitely have the best instructionals. I can actually watch Nog, Bustamante, and Sperry matches and see them doing what the preach on the instructionals. For the Pride tournament, who are entering, I know a few but not all.
