    I don't care if he can beat everyone in the world, he is bad for the UFC. He is a big Ogre who is consistantly winning boring Decisions. Even his fights where he KOs the guys are boring. Nobody wants to see one guy fight another, more skilled guy, and win strictly because he has 5inches and 30lbs on him. I really can't stand watching the guy, and it pisses me the **** off that he is going to most likely get the belt back or even be in position to. If he was 6'3" 230lbs he would be laying concrete or moving rocks somewhere. I hope Kongo knocks him the **** out, or they feed him to Lesnar and he gets Power Bombed :lol: :hey

    If he was 6'3 230lbs he would probably be a lot better fighter.

    A Kongo ko or Lesnar beating the **** out of him would be fine. I'm not sure Lesnar is skilled enough to do it even tho I think Tim sucks.

    Yes he would. The reason why he is so bad is because he is so slow un coordinated and cumbersome, why is he these things? Because he is so big.

    My point remains. If he were 6'3 and 230lbs he would have been a better fighter.

    Not necessarily though. There are alot of 6'3" guys who are not nearly as coordinated as him. That is not a given, and is pointless to even discuss. The fact is, his size neutralizes his opponents strengths and makes for boring ****ing fights. It also makes for him beating guys he isn't nearly as skilled as. Imagine Arlovski or Vera fighting fighting guys 5'10" 180-190lbs :patsch

    I doubt kongo can beat him, kongo has a **** ground game and i think tim could sub him, i am not sure about lesnar either as he hasn't done anything in mma yet. However i think big nog would beat tim he has the skills and size to give him problems.

    Kongo is a better striker.His ground game is non existent but then again Tim on his back is like watching a beetle trying to get up with a bird perched on top of it.His ground game is hardly the stuff of legends.His sub defense is ok only because his so tall and his sprawl is longer and augmented by his sheer size and weight.

    Compared to kongo he is as good as a black belt in bjj, also he got monson in a triangle in there fight so i think he has a massive edge in the subs game on kongo.

    I doubt they would. He`d get red carded in a flash for lack of excitement.

    ..just watched an old ufc last night, and silvia was in much better shape and much more explosive with being a bit lighter when he inititally won the title against rico rodriguez.....he never missed rico!!..i think ya gota give the big fella some credit..he has fought a decent level of opposition and had his moments..if it was only his size that gave him his victorys, why dont nba players just turn up and win the hw title...
