Well Mirko is gonna murder Minowa....

Aleksander Emelianenko still hasn´t proven himself as one of the best HW´s yet and this will be his chance because Josh Barnett is definatly one of the best. I´m not gonna predict the outcome of this fight because it could go either way IMO.

CroCop vs Minowa? Minowa must be fucking the Pride matchmakers wife or something. Aren't they like 30 pounds apart?

The Japanese always seem to put their fighters in impossible situations for some reason. People say pride protect the Japanese but its quite the opposite really. Theres no way Minowa is going to be able to take Mirko down and keep him there, he´s gonna get brutally knocked out in rd.1.

Cro-Cop has a nasty little habit of injuring- not just knocking out, but injuring- opponents his own size and more. Not that it's intentional, of course, but knowing that about him...it's just plain reckless, putting such a smaller guy as Minowa in there with him.
