    I was the only one who voted for Fedor by points. I think Sylvia might be resilient enough to make it to the end.

    I don't like the particular style matchup for Tim really.

    I only voted for him because nobody else did, so I was the first one.

    I hope Tim pulls this off!


    Also, go to the dentist son.

    :D

    No , he has a chance to beat him. I'm the first guy who tends to talk **** about Sylvia but like i said so many times , as one dimensional as he is...He's still pretty big. 6'8 tall....Wlad Klitschko who's concidered to be tall is 6′6½...

    Not that i'm comparing his striking skills or anything...I've always said that Tim was slow as ****...Having said that , it's MMA....and anything can happen...especially when that "one dimensional" guy has ko power , a solid sprawl & good wrestling and again...His size helps him a lot.

    Fedor should be capable to beat him but it's impossible to be 100% sure about the outcome of this fight. And let's not forget the "cuts"....a fight can be stopped because of a ****ing cut.

    It happened to vitali vs lennox...it happened to fedor in his second fight vs nogueira , and in his fight vs TK...he also had a big cut vs Lindland (but he was fast enough to finish him in the 1rst round)....

    it should be interesting...I'm still predicting fed via submission...worst case scenario , fed by UD...but an upset is possible too

    I heard a rumour along time ago, that Fedor Emelianenko is called 'Fedor' or was called ie had his name spelled 'Fedor' by Pride management due to marketing reasons. I have also heard it was spelled Fedor because the Japanese had a hard time pronouncing or understanding the spelling Fyodor.

    I do not know if these rumours are true. But I have never seen a Russian called Фёдор translated into english as Fedor, except in the case of Emelianenko. It has always been to my knowledge translated as Fyodor.

    That's possible. I have different spellings of my name also for the same reason. It's easier to pronounce it in certain spelling in certain countries.

    I have seen Russians write their name as Fedor, because thats just translated letter by letter and its the same but pronounciation isn't. So its up to the the owner.

    Regardless, in Russian, they have same exact name.
