    Fedors a pretty standard sized guy, thats part of his appeal.

    He looks like a guy who links a drink and goes to the gym because it's manly.

    Surely he is gonna tear Tim up. Tim has a chance of a strike coming in but Fedor moves his head to the side as he comes in so I'm sure it won't be a problem.

    Simply put, Fedor always finds a way.

    Wow, I didn't realize the size difference would be that much. You gotta give it to Tim Sylvia man, he definitely fights the best possible opponents. Vera is no slouch, and Arlovski is one of the best in the world. Then he has recently fought Randy, Nog and now Fedor...the top 3 fighters in the world almost back to back!

    Tim will fight anyone, but lately he has fought to survive rather than win. I hope he and Fedor have one hell of a fight. Go Fedor!

    Its under unified rules, so Tim will weigh-in at 265 or under.

    States make the rules, so it doesn't matter. And I believe they all use Nevada's.

    I had a differnt reaction to most of you guys - dont think the size difference was anything special. Well, what youde expect a 6' guy and a 6'8 guy to look like next to each other.

    Fedor seems to get a lot of credit for beating these big heaveyweights as a 'small' guy. Now, anyone who weighs over 230 and is still as naturally explosive and supple as Fedor is a HUGE guy himself, I dont care if he is 6' or a little over.

    This should be an interesting fight Tim is surprising but he shouldn't be as big as he is. Tim will be shocked at how quick fedor is I think that he is a better athlete than Randy

    And Couture is not as big as fedor and he beat Tim all 5 rounds....I think Fedor will finish Tim.....unless the stars aline.

    They're pretty much the same size... Couture a little taller, Fedor little thicker...
