What's up with all this talk about the UFC heavyweights sucking? Did anyone suffer through this division four years ago when it basically consisted of Cabbage, Arlovski and Sylvia? Those were sucky times, my friends. We're in a golden age now and it's just getting started.
for sure, it was basically Sylvia and Arlovski....and that was it! there is lot's of names to throw around now
The difference is now UFC basically IS MMA, so its starkly obvious that the talent pool in the heavyweight division of the SPORT is actually quite shallow. There's only really Fedor and Bartnett who could make any waves in the UFC (who are not currently UFC fighters.)
I wouldn't mind seeing Alex in there, it will be interesting to see how he does against Barnett, but I'm sure Alex won't be in the UFC anytime soon.
For all the **** Tim Sylvia has got... even the haters now have to respect. For years people were talking like Tim wasnt even on Nog's class. He might not have won the fight last night.. but he showed he is clearly in Nog's class. That fight easily could have went another way.
Did feel a bit sorry for Tim. He strikes such a pathetic figure. "I finally start to get some fan support and I come out here and lose the damn fight"
He almost won the fight by knockout - but that doesn't change the fact that I can't stand to watch Tim Sylvia fight. My friends and I were commenting that he is basically the heel of the UFC heavyweights because we hate to seee him.
