With this in mind DSE asked Ryo Chonan (Pictures), Ikuhisa Minowa (Pictures), Tatsuya Kawajiri (Pictures), Akihiro Gono (Pictures), Ryuta Sakurai (Pictures) and Masanori Suda (Pictures) to pick the winners from both the heavyweight match between Mirko Filipovic (Pictures) and Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures) and the winners in both the semifinal and final matches of the middleweight tournament.

Ryo Chonan (Pictures):

• He thinks the key heavyweight bout lies in whether or not Fedor can take down “Cro Cop.” With this in mind Chonan sees “Cro Cop” scoring the high kick KO
• He thinks Silva will win via judge decision
• Overeem is dangerous in the beginning, especially with the guillotine choke, but Chonan feels Shogun is going to win by KO later
• Chonan sees Silva over Shogun in the finals

Masanori Suda (Pictures):

• Mirko will win via KO
• Silva over Arona via KO
• Shogun over Overeem
• Shogun over Silva in the finals

Akihiro Gono (Pictures):

• Mirko over Fedor via high kick KO round one
• Arona over Silva
• Shogun over Overeem via KO
• Shogun winning the finals

Tatsuya Kawajiri (Pictures):

• Silva over Arona by KO
• Shogun over Overeem by KO
• Silva over Shogun in the finals
• Mirko over Fedor by KO

Ryuta Sakurai (Pictures):

• Probably Fedor over “Cro Cop” by ground-and-pound if Fedor can take Mirko down. However the question is, can Fedor takedown Mirko?
• Silva over Arona by decision
• Shogun over Overeem by decision
• Silva over Shogun

Ikuhisa Minowa (Pictures) (by far the most colorful and interesting character in Bushido took some time to share his deep thoughts regarding the outcome of the upcoming show):

• About the winner of Mirko vs. “Cro Cop”: “I have no idea … probably decision
• Winner of Silva vs. Arona: “I have no idea. I can’t even imagine what kind of fight this will be.
• Winner of Shogun vs. Overeem: “I don’t know, probably Overeem.
• Tournament winner: … I’ve no clue.
