The rivalry between the two over the M-1 Heavyweight Championship:

I'm not that interested in Guram/Garner I never really bought into the Guram hype hes a big dude but hasn't impressed me much. he could be a force in the future if he keeps improving, Garner doesn't seem that good either but he continues to impress me, hes got some heart.

I'm looking forward to the nemkov fight the most also Semenov, and gueinovs usually fun to watch also.

I don´t know why but I could watch Guram fight Garner 10 times. Guram has most potential since he´s still young but like you said Garner got heart. M-1 needs to sign more heavyweights but this will be a good one. Guram via TKO or submission.

put 50 on kenny for me via tko.

Garner...TKO

Any info on the Golden Team fighters as to who to look out for and who.shows any potential?

Im going with GG on this one, dont ask me why .

That´s awesome man. Deuce is da man but I think Guram will be better this time. It will be interesting to see if the training with Hoost has improved Gurams stand up because Garner is much better there.
