Fedor-Sylvia Confirmed!

Fedor is gonna rush him, throw a looping right hand, clinch low and toss him on the ground quickly. Bank on that.

 

Fedor is still a sissy.

 

Hey lets not go down that road right now. Hes fighting a top 6-7 Heavyweight and former World Champ with some credible wins over Ricco,Vera,Monson,Arlovski.

 

U dumb.

 

Aight, Sylvia has just risen in my eyes a lot(relatively speaking). Now he has to walk the walk.

“I’ve come to a crossroads in my career where I’ve fought all the best guys in the UFC. There’s a handful of guys outside the UFC that I really want to fight and I don’t think the UFC’s going to get some of them. Some of them are a little too high priced for the UFC to get. So I just think this is the best avenue for me right now.”

In regards to a fight with Emelianenko, Sylvia said upon his signing with Adrenaline, “I have the utmost respect for that guy. He’s ranked No. 1 in the world. I want to challenge myself, and I want to fight him. No doubt in my mind. It’s the best fight out there for the both of us right now. You know he hasn’t fought any No. 1 contenders in a while and I think he needs to be tested and I want to be tested. I think it’s a great fight for me, it’s a great fight for him, and I think we need to make that fight happen.”

 

Isn't everyone compared to Gizmo?

 

I like Tim Sylvia's attitude, saying he wants to fight the best guy he can (the best Heavyweight in the world, though he hasn't fought a credible Heavyweight in years, because no, Lindland doesn't count).

I've got to pick Fedor; better striker, cardio, chin, groundwork. But it should be a good fight. UFC's getting some competition now!

 

Fedor does not have a better chin than Sylvia.

 

And you base that assumption on... what exactly?

 

Good questions considering the only time I remember Fedor hurt by a punch was vs Fujita and ive seen Sylvia dropped hard twice by Arlovski and Randy Couture who never dropped anyone.

 

I don't think Tim has a chance. I think it would be nice because I am mopre familiar with Tim because UFC is so mainstream. He isn't exactly a wizard with his groundgame so if the fight ends up on the ground Fedor would have a major advantage. Otherwise Tim may stand a chance who knows.

 

Sylvia was rocked from the first good shot Couture hit him with, and Randy is not a primer striker. Fedor's chin is granite, he has proven that over and over.

Well i wouldnt say its granite as Fujita hurt him quite badly and had him stumbling around the ring drunk. I think its his demeanour and calmness under pressure that really sets him apart. His never flustered and always knows what to do and how to react.

 

Yea, its definitely not granite but I think he can take a shot. Hunt is granite, Fedor isn't.
