"I'm a little different than some guys he's fought previously. There's a reason Dana White gave me this fight. When I get locked in, I'm taking care of business, so all that stuff goes out the window. Afterward, it would be great to call him my friend, but I could care less right now... I think Fedor [Emelianenko] kind of laid the blueprint for facing him. Stay in front of him and get in his face. That's my style, so it's a great matchup for me... This one's not going to a decision, I guarantee it. It's going to be a convincing knockout or submission. I can't predict when, but this fight's not going all three."

-Brendan Schaub talks to MMAFighting.com about his plans for finishing Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 128 in New Jersey.

Penick's Analysis: Schaub is very capable of doing exactly what he says he's going to do in this fight. Cro Cop is not the fighter he was in 2006 in Pride. He's on his last legs, and this fight is probably going to be the one that sends him on his way. Schaub is young, athletic and strong, and he hits hard enough to give Cro Cop troubles tonight. This is Schaub's fight to lose.
