Nino vs Johil in Pride 14

[PatrickH]

What does everyone think about this one. Nino IMO is one of the best pure jiu-jitsu fighters in the world today with sick submission abilities. I hope his transition to MMA isn't a painful one. If it goes to the ground Nino will submit him, but I'm sure Johil knows this better than me and will try to keep the fight standing.

The real question is if Nino has the takedown skills?

i like nino's skills very much, but when i think of him going into NHB i can't help but think about saulo.

The Saulo incident crossed my mind as well.

Nino is really dependant on the guard and I hope he doesn't take a lot of punishment while attempting his crazy "Nino" moves.
