Mirko deserves another shot at Fedor long before Nogueira gets his run...
I will give it to Noguiera that his grappling is tight, and it's won a lot of fights for him. Especially his armbar (damn near a third of his wins all together) including his win over Mirko, and a win over Dan Henderson among others. But, I don't think it's going to stand up to Fedor. I think it's going to be a powerful aggressive striker who eventually dethrones Emelianenko, someone who can pull off the KO. CroCop can do it.
Actually, after thinking about it, I'd like to see CroCop and Nogueira do it up again first before I see either of them come at Fedor again...

Mirko also looked very weak and overwhelmed against Mark Hunt. I could be wrong, no slam against Crocop, but these guys with rare exceptions have a short shelf life at the top of their game, and I think Mirko's may have expired.
