Ask the Pros: Antonio Nogueira or Cain Velasquez?

I asked some some top UFC and WEC fighters at the ROC show last night about the Nogueira vs. Velasquez fight. Here are their takes:

Jim Miller: I think Cain's gonna have the control to beat him up.  I"ve always been a big
fan of Nogueira's but he's not the same fighter he used to be.

Renzo Gracie: I can't wait to watch.  It's going to be unbelievable. This kid Cain Velasquez is a very tough guy so Minotauro's gonna have his hands full.  But I like Minotauro a lot. He's been in some epic battles. I had a chance to be ringside looking at him perform in Japan back in Pride and then in the UFC against guys like Tim Sylvia. He's able to pull off victories when everybody thought everything was lost. So I'll be rooting for him. And I wish all the best to Cain valesquez, he's a very tough opponent.

Donald Cerrone: I'm gonna go with Nogueira.

Lenoard Garcia: Cain's been on a tear. I'd kind of like to see him win. I'd like to see him
make it up in the rankings and do his thing.

Pete Sell: I think Cain's a beast man. He's a beast at wrestling, but judging from how Minotauro did in his last fight with couture, I mean that was insane, the sweeps he was doing.  He's such a big guy for that HW division.  Cain could be in trouble. I gotta give the edge to Minotauro, you know, just for experience alone too.

Ricardo Almeida: I can't pick against Nogueira ever. He's a friend and someone I look up too and someone I've been in contact with throughout the years. His jujitsu in MMA is second to none, so I'll definitely be rooting for him although I really think Velasquez could win the fight also.
