i picked bader from the start of the show but i like vinny more as a fighter, that being said vinny armbar in the third minute

Bader wins hands down no comp easy money. Vinny got stomped out by some random wrestler before who’s not as good as Bader. You just need to play the GNP game with him instead of positional grappling or escaping.

Was that guy just some heavyweight blanket? You can’t possibly want Bader to win. That fight agaisn’t Eliot was one of the worst ever. You, along with most others probably just want Vinny to lose more than Bader to win. Vinny will win by round 1 sub, thank God!

BNF. your right, some are only picking Boring Bader b/c he WAS on nog’s team, very immature. he has no hands, all he has is dry hump. vinny in 1 as well.

As far as who i want to win, i couldn’t care less coz they both suck but if you’ve seen vinny fight (outside the house), then you see that he’s not that impressive. I’ve always said it – LNP however detestable is a legit strategy that fighters need to learn how to counter.

NNR. i wasn’t referring to you as being immature, your post didn’t say what i was implying. both fighters might suck right now, but i think vinny’s future looks alot brighter. guess we will find out come sat night. :)

I don’t know that Vinny has the brighter future if he has the propensity to quit in fights. I think that he has more talent, and if he can develop the rest of his game he could be a very exciting fighter to watch. Personally, I love watching great submission guys fight so I’d like to see him do well. But in terms of personality it’s hard not to like Bader a lot more. If he can develop a stand up game and even a marginal submission game he could have a good career as well.

My bad b.w, i just jumped to conclusion coz i am #1 big nog fan there is. But i can agree with your statement, vinny has the easier path to becoming great since he only needs to worry about striking and not wrestling. Bader might have wrestling but it will take him longer to learn the other two. But in this fight, vinny’s tendency to give up at the slightest resistance will be the story.

you dont know what your talking about guy settle down bader is getten subed first round u wait and see then have ur self a lil cry

Vinny will win this fight with a submission from guard after being taken down by bader. Either that or there will be a 15 minute for insomnia as bader will just lay on top of vinny sean sherk style.

vinny wins in less than 3 minutes….easily.

Unless Vinny gets caught by a solid shot from Bader, there is no way in hell Bader can dry hump him without getting sub’ed

seriously guys do a little research on vinny.

bader is gonna smash him. W for arizona combat sports.

If I remember correctly, ‘ol Vinny does NOT like to get hit in the face. Thus, fighting Bader night not be something he’s looking forward to. Bader via ref stoppage due to strikes.

i think vinny will get a submission but he’ll have to work for it. baders a strong guy but i think hes lacking sub. defense. im just glad that the fight card is actually the fighters from the show unlike the last 2 or 3 finales

by tuffguy01 on Dec 12, 2008 12:38 AM EST reply actions

hopefully he does a bit more this time than in his last fight. i don’t want to see him hold him down for 15 minutes.

I think you all missed the point, Stankie has got to be the funniest trainer anywhere. I gotta say though, if I was hanging out with NOG id be slapping random dudes too.

Wrestlers who can’t submit their opponents make some of the most boring fights ever. I hope Bader has improved his standup and/or submission skills. If not, I hope Vinny finishes him early.

Bader being good friends with CB makes me wanna root for Vinny even more.

AZcombat is 100% a frathouse, Vinny is 100% a pretty boy. I really dont care about this fight, i just want to see Nover in action! Bader (though boring) seems like a decent guy, If he wins this he will have my respect. His last fight left a bad taste in my mouth tho. He needs to get a clean shot in and avoid the ground IMO. Everyone knows vinny doesn’t like punches, so bader bring them in bunches!

Ryan “The Blanket” Bader… I cant wait to see him getting strangled on the deck… Vinny will pull guard and choke him out without a blemish in the first 2 minutes
