Prediction: correct Nogueira   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I think people are a little down on Nogueira because of how bad he got KO'd by Cain, but Schaub wasn't looking to good against CroCop, Nogueira will take some punches but get him down and submit him.

I see no reason why Schaub would want Nelson at this point and time.. Nelson is on a 2 fight lose streak Schaub a 4 fight win streak and Schaub is alot higher in the rankings now In my opinion.

Im little unclear were this idea Cain does not have test power came from. He literally knocked out or TKO every single opponent he has had out side Kongo. So to say his power is not tested seem grossly inaccurate. Kongo also has only been TKO a single time. Cain stand up skills have improve dramatically since that fight.

Also don;t understand were this idea came out that Lesnar has a bad chin, because it 100% false. He does not like being hit, but his chin is fine. In fact his chin is quite good, Carwin despite how much power he packs could not take lesnar out despite numerous blows.

Prediction: correct Nogueira   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

@Franklin, before the Nogueira fight he was known by everyone as "pillow hands". He hit Kongo almost 500 times and it had no effect.

His finishes come from volume, not power. There wasn't a second in the Rothwell fight were Rothwell didn't take multiple punches in the face and he was still getting up when the ref stopped the fight. His biggest KO wins came over Nog (who's chin is clearly not what it used to be) and Brock (who didn't go out, but just turtled up because he hates getting hit).

Cain might shock me, his hands are improving and his last two wins were impressive, but his tkos came from constant pressure, not punching power.

@Mino.. I agree his knockouts are from constant pressure but that's still power though did you see him on sport science he was the hardest to ever hit it... And I dont think you can just say its not an impressive ko because nogs chin isnt what it used to be... I think pillow fists is harsh... And Kongo is very hard to finish!

Prediction: correct Nogueira   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

I know, I'm just saying, it's a question mark. Nogueira and Brock's chins are two things we don't know about right now, is Nog's gone, and does Brock just hate getting hit. 

And what my original point was about the lack of power is just that Fedor wouldn't wilt under the constant punches (we saw that in the Bigfoot fight, even though the doctors did eventually have to stop it). I don't think Cain's hands would be a threat to him on the feet. 

And like I said, maybe he's improved it. We'll see in his next few fights.

@Mino.. Yeh I think we will find out with Schaub whether its gone or not and yes I think Brock just doesnt like getting hit but they are question marks. Yeh Cain might not stop Fedor but Cain never gets tired so he could do that for 15 or 25 minutes... Fedor probably couldnt and Cain would win a lobsided decision in my opinion.. Yup we will see against JDS for sure!

No way Shaub will finish Nog. Everybody is too hung-up over Nog's fight @ 110, but people have to realize it was against the best heavyweight in the UFC. Shau via decision... if he's lucky..

I think Schaub is too much of an athlete at this point for Big Nog...Plus having a size and speed advantage will be  huge help...Big Nog is sleeping once again...(Just showin love for the local boy...not hatin on Big Nog!)
