Does Tim Slyvia have a good chance?

Fedor stoppage.

Tim has decent chances.

 

Tim has a puncher's chance in my view. He's tall and has a big reach and big knees. But Fedor has incredible ground/throwing skills, so if this goes to the ground, Fedor will submit Sylvia pretty quickly- probably with an armbar or an americana. It should be a great fight though! I can't wait.

 

Tim has a great right hand thats pulled him 2 huge upsets in the past so yes he has a chance but a good chance id say no.

 

There's always a chance in MMA. Like jack Dempsey said - never bet on fights. But if I was a betting man - which I am I would not bet against Fedor.

More than likely it will be five rounds of hell of Timmay.

 

Timmy by points.Fedor prefers upperbody takedowns and it will be difficult
to reach Sylvia and go through those hands.

 

Fedor is too explosive on his feet and way too explosive on the ground. Not to mention being the most skilled fighter and toughest on in the division. Tim has size, but size can be neutralized and will be. Fedor stoppage or submission victory.

 

Seriously?

Fedor has the takedown arsenal, and balance of a Judoka. Body takedowns are actually easier against taller opponents, because the legs are used.. Judo body locks don't require you to overpower, just use angles and balance.

Tim has faced tougher opposition more recently, I don't picture Fedor as a fighter who wont be sharp, especially against an American. But have to give Tim a punchers chance. I think Fedor takes him down EASILY and pounds his face in.

 

He has a chance, not a good one.

 

Yes he does. Add in Fedor hasen't fought exactly the greatest comp recently.


But I do think Fedor wins.

 

I just dont see how any MMA fan could say Sylvia has no chance knowing the upsets he pulled off. Thinking about it just about every fight that his opponet was picked to roll over him like Ricco,Vera,2nd and 3rd Arlovski fights Tim went in and beat them all sometimes brutally.

 

He'd have a better chance if he didn't suck so bad.

 

He has an okay chance, because of his size and the fact he uses it pretty well, he stands a better chance than most against Fedor, imo.

Still expect him to get tapped.
