It's finally here... The biggest event for Mixed Martial Arts in quite some time. This weekend, the greatest Heavyweight fighters in the world will square off to determine who is the best... or second best actually. The final match up will be fought on the same night as the semi's, and there's several possibilities for the finals....
Semi Finals:
Wanderlei "The Axe-Murderer" Silva -Vs- Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
Josh Barnett -Vs- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Alternate HW match up:
LHW match up:
Ricardo Arona -Vs- Alistair Overeem
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua -Vs- Cyrille Diabate
But who do you think will make it to the finals?
Most likely, its gonna be Cro Cop and Minotauro. Even though I'm a huge Silva fan, I dont see him finishing Mirko, unless the fights hits the floor. Silva always throws wide, powerful punches and a fighter like CC will punch him straight on and could possibly knock him down or out. I really want Silva to win though, i think he's the epitomy of a dangerous fighter. The dream outcome of this match for me will be..... The end of the first round is approaching, there's already been alot of action and close calls. Then, in a brief, wild exchange, Wanderlei Silva clips Mirko's face. Mirko is stunned, up against the ropes and Silva clinches with him and starts unleashing powerful knees to the dome of Cro Cop. Mirko is dropped, and the Axe-Murderer releases one too many futbol kicks to the face.
The Barnett/Nogueira fight will be great too but i see it going all two or three rounds, whereas the Silva/CC fight will not. IMO.
Kharitonov/Emelianenko... Awesome match up and i dont mind who wins.
As for Arona/Alistair, i hope Arona takes him down, passes his guard and submits him, hopefully.
Ofcoarse Shogun will win, hopefully with futbol kicks and stomps.
There's other fights on the card but i dont care too much about them.
Discuss....
