Mir/Bader/Lytle/Dunham/Guillard
Bad night for the Nogs, and Dunham is going to give everyone another reason to believe he's for real. Lytle should win pretty easily, and I think Guillard will KO Stephens in round 1. Guillard is just way to athletic for Stephens.

Re: *UFC 119: Nog vs. Mir 2; Bader vs Lil Nog* Official thread
I was on his coat tails pretty hard after he blasted Per Eklund, Evan is on a pretty good tear now though, so I expect him to beat the Muscle Shark (Who hasn't fought for about 1 year and four months)

Re: *UFC 119: Nog vs. Mir 2; Bader vs Lil Nog* Official thread
I'm excited for the Guillard/Stevens fight, the Bader/Nog fight and I LOVE watching Chris Lytle fight. So with those 3, i'd say this is a solid card. I'd also love to see Big Nog take Mir, but sadly I don't see it happening, ya never know though.

I agree with all those picks except Guillard. Actually, I guess I agree with Guillard but I'm hoping Little Heathen takes him out... He always has the puncher's chance. Honestly though, I think this isn't the best main card. Bader/LilNog looks like the best fight (with Lytle/Serra a close 2nd). I CAN'T WAIT for UFC 121, which looks like it'll give 117 a run for best fight card (prelims included) of 2010 (my picks in CAPS): Brock/CAIN, HAMILL/Ortiz, SHIELDS/Kampmann, Sanchez/THIAGO, Gonzaga/SCHAUG, MCGEE/Jensen, DUFFEE/Madsen, Cote/LAWLOR, P.TAYLOR/Stout, CAMOZZI/Yang, GUYMON/Roberts. Like I said, F#$%in awesome card! What are everyone else's picks?

dude stay on topic, save your picks and disc for the 121 thread which you can find floating around here somewhere. As for the nog fights. I think they go 1-1...or at least I'm hoping they will. Bader is just an animal. Lil Nog didn't look good against Brilz and Bader is just a bigger meaner version of him with more power in his hands. I think Lil Nog is in trouble unless he's able to pull a submission. But I have hope for Big Nog. His chin isn't what it used to be but I think he'll come in healthy and look way better than he did in the first fight. I really wanna see Big Nog win another one before his glory days are behind him.
I love lytle and think he's a bad match up for Serra. Serra is a smaller compact version of Lytle. Lytle should be able to either KO serra and tko him with GnP. Serra has great jitz but Lytle can survive that on the ground and should be able to keep this standing and pick Serra apart.
I think this is the night that Dunham has his comin out party. He's beaten griffin but beating Sherk will really put him on the map. Dunham's wrestling is too good for sherk to deal with given Dunham's size and leverage. This is just a bad match up for him.
I also think Guillard is going to either KO or win a decision of Jeremy Stephens. Guillard just keeps getting better and I think Stephens wants to stand with Guillard which is a death wish.

Re: *UFC 119: Nog vs. Mir 2; Bader vs Lil Nog* Official thread
Three of my favorite fighters on this card (Rodrigo, Rogerio, Guillard) and to be honest I don't think any of them have a good chance. I might take Guillard over Stephens (he has a good chance) and I think if Rogerio trains for a wrestler (he didn't train for Brilz, he did Forrest) he can win. As for Big Nog, he NEEDS to cover that chin to win. Hopefully that staph infection was the difference. As for Sherk, I'm not sure what to say cause he's always been injured. I think the biggest obsticle he faces is making it to the fight, lol. I think Serra is just too good for Lytle too.

You make a good point about Rogerio training for a wrestler. In thinking back to the Brilz fight I didn't recollect that he was training for Forrest for months and Brilz was a late replacement. After the Brilz fight he's definitly gonna be working on his wrestling with Munoz and prepare better. That makes me feel better about his chances. But why do you think Serra is too good for Lytle? I think the opposite.

Lytle isn't very...eh... consistant. He has better stand-up, yes. But Serra is a great BJJ black belt and is coming off some impressive performances. I had him losing a close one to Hughes, but his knockout of Frank Trigg was VERY impressive. I'd give Serra a spilt decision.
