UFC 81
Tim Sylvia to beat Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira @ 33/20


Nogueira is heavy favourite for this, but i'm confident big Tim will win. The Pride guys that have come over from the UFC have struggled, and Nogueira was very lucky to win his first fight against Heath Herring, he got knocked down, but Herring for some reason let him recover. Although Nogueira is one of the best jui jitsu guys about, Tim Sylvia is much better on the feet, and i really can't see Nogueira taking a guy the size of sylvia down. I can see Tim grinding out a unanimous decision victory and taking the heavyweight title.
