    To be honest I'm taking Sylvia in this one, I'm not sure if nog will be able to get him down and control him or have Sylvia on top of him and get an armbar.....the standup should be interesting because Nog doe have good boxing....but i'm not sure how that will work against big Tim

    Nog via armbar RD 1. Whether he is in the guard or working the mount - Nog will work Sylvia into a submission. He is simply too far ahead of Sylvia in terms of submissions.

    Nog needs to get Sylvia to the ground first and with his fairly average wrestling skills that will prove difficult.

    Im leaning toward Sylvia as well.. Although Nog is a big boy so size wouldnt be much of a factor

    Sign me up for Sylvia.

    I just don't see what the Nog who almost got KOed against Heath Herring can do here. If the fight gets to the ground, Nog always has a huge shot to grab one of those long arms. But I see this going much like Sylvia/Monson, with Nog making it slightly closer than the Snowman did. Still, jab, jab, jab. Sleep, sleep, sleep. Big Tim wins. Yawn.
