If I pull MW BJ, NCE Barao, or NCE Tate, it would be a miracle. I have Barao and Tate's original CE cards, so I couldn't spend the gold, but I will definitely take the opportunity here. I'm in the same boat. No fighters I didnt haveto last few Events. =/ But this one, I dont have any of the LEs either, and I can even hope for an NCE I dont have (Barao would be nice) or, a true miracle... MW Iconic BJ Penn. ;)

Consider yourself lucky to have Barao CE. He is still awesome and now impossible to get. Im not convinced the NCE is really better. Count me in that boat too. I would love to have MW Penn like you said. I'm glad that I bought NCE Cruz because the awards for this event is baffling as usual, with little chance to get super fighter, at least it's just for 6k.

I have Barao CE, in one of my few moments of good fortune, and I agree that it might actually be better than his NCE counterpart, despite the lack of 1 Hit KO, thanks to having a lot of spinning shit. Overall, I don't like to use Barao that often to be honest. His lanky torso makes some of his punches end up short before reaching the opponents and the punches are quite necessary to pull off the spinning shits.

Did you see my reply on Till's Liverpool Card thread or my assessment on Power Overhand and Hook?.. since it's confirmed that they are pushing him to Wonderman. Note that I don't want to be seen as biased though as it seemed to imply in my reply.. Wrt Barao versions. I have both and prefer the OG CE over the NCE for those reasons stated.
