Who do you fancy to win the GP now: Bigfoot, Overeem, Kharitonov or Barnett?

    I'm starting to think Barnett, though the Bigfoot-Overeem will tell us a lot about those two fighters.

    Thoughts? :bbb

    I had said from the start I felt that Josh could win. When I looked at the way it was set up..he had the easy run. Still have to beat Sergei to get too the final..but it just plays in my mind when Sergei had to tap to Jeff Monson...and I just feel when he takes it too the ground...he will Grind on Sergie..make the fans boo..but get the win. Then in the final..ya never know.

    I felt Barnett was arguably the most dangerous in the GP from the get go.

    The Reem Vs Bigfoot and Josh Vs Sergei are both quality matchups, and anyone could end up in the final. But Silvas stand up isn't great (nor is Werdums mind and I was astonished by his success in that dept. last night!) and whilst he certainly has a more assertive shoot, you'd think The Reem would still he very strong there.

    Big Foot looked good against Fedor of course, but he was also badly hurt by Mike Kyle. I reckon The Reem can get a definitive stoppage there, though I would not be completely surprised to see him make it a very, very hard night for The Reem.

    Barnett Vs Kharitonov is quality, but I was surprised how long Barnett was willing to ride out on Rogers. Some nice tds and a dominant display, but seeing as we are more aware than ever why Rogers earned the nickname 'The Grim', I felt it even going past five minutes was a bit disappointing.

    Both men are well rounded, with both having advantages in the different levels, but I feel Barnetts chin will see him come through the rough patches he will get from Kharitonovs assault, whilst his wrestling will see him power through Sergeis grappling ability and edge out a close points win.

    Barnett Vs Reem in the final, and I have no clue how that will go :-(

    Iv said from the beginning Big Foot is a live underdog and im standing by it. He present's Overeem with some serious problems. Silva has a a very good chin and a great ground game. Even if Overeem keeps it on his feet im fairly certain Silva will hurt him badly.

    Barnett Silva final with Silva winning by TKO from strikes.
