Agreed except for:

Mino beats Nastula by sub or just being a great striker

I am more of a follower of UFC myself but I do know one thing. Silva and Crocop are two badass motherfuckers and will win their respective fights. I think “Nog” will prevail as well and as for the other ones i couldnt make too educated a decision at the time. i will read up and get back to this thread.

I dont really know enough information about all of the fighters involved to make good predictions, but it seems like an Igor vs Wanderlei final is very possible and that would be crazy. I would root for Silva in this fight. Any predictions if this fight were to happen?
