I think the only thing that may pose a threat to Big Nog would be Sylvia's control in the clinch. A lot of fighters with great conditioning and speed often get subdued in Sylvia's clinch. If Big Nog can control the pace of the fight I think he has an easy win here.

The Clinch is only a problem because Sylvia is just so damn big its hard to get out it. But Nogueira is a pretty big HW and should be able to handle himself well in these situations. Hopefully he works getting out of the clinch because if so he has tim dead to rights in all areas, i just can't see Sylvia winning unless its a 5 round boring decision.

Man, Nog is my hero The guy never ceases to amaze me. He fought in Big Tim's world for 2 full rounds, almost got knocked out, and remained steadfast.

Into the 3rd round Nog manages to jump guard and in one of the most beautiful displays I have seen, sweeps and subs Tim. Tim lasted about 20 seconds in Big Nog's world Classic Nog.

It wouldn't be the same if Nog didn't go in and take punishment for the entire fight then end up subbing Sylvia. Just classic Nogueira doing what he does best and finding a way to win. Sylvia did look better then he has in the last 2 years and had this fight close to winning but just couldn't hold on.

So are weing going to see a Werdum vs. Nogueira? Or maybe the winning of Arlovski vs. Jake O'brian..?
