Tim Sylvia is an elite striker with incredible reach and underrated takedown defense.....I say underrated, because its not a punch of great sprawls and wrestling techniques, but more or less understanding the fact that he's a million feet tall, and using that advantage to keep people away from him......Tim Sylvia has probably used his size as well or better than anyone in MMA history.

The Sylvia hate is ridiculous. People hate him because he doesn't 'look' like he should be champ, he's a bit of a goofball, and because 2 of his recent fights were stinkers. The hate has nothing to do with his talent, or imagined lack of it.

Sylvia is going to destroy Randy.

Vera will eat a high kick from Mirko and be gone early in the first. Still, Brandon is pretty skilled inside and Mirko is ultra vulnerable there, IMO.

If Arlovski fights anyone, I want to see him in the Mirko. Never again do I wanna see the pussy ass version of Andre that fought Sylvia the 3rd time. That was prime grade gay shit.

:jester: Shut the F*ck Up!!!! You get that impressed over Tim f*ckin' Sylvia? He's no elite striker, it just so happens that 95% of the guys in the UFC have the boxing ability of a 6th grader. He only has an 80" wingspan. Nobody knows sh*t about slipping a jab, but that's expected when you're jabbing a 4'10" stumpy mass of muscle like Jeff Monson who's primary fighting style is JuJitSu, not striking. Same goes with Randy Couture. They're feeding Sylvia a bunch of wrestlers. We've already seen what happens to Sylvia when a somewhat decent striker such as china chinned Arlovski shoots a straight right hand in his direction. Sylvia teeters and falls flat on his ass, and that happened twice!
Sylvia got lucky against Assuerio Silva. Silva rocked him good with a big overhand right and cut up Tim's eye. Then he had Tim on the fence trying a takedown but Tim illegally locked his fingers into the fence links several times to avoid being taken down and Jeff McCarthy did nothing.
Just goes to show how awful the refs are by allowing what is blatant and flagrant rule-breaking inside the octagon.

hanzy is back, suckers better watch out.

What I find weird is how guys like Hooks are slobbering all over crap like Tim Sylvia, despite the fact that the heavyweight division in the UFC consists of 4-5 fighters under contract. Not counting their titleholder Sylvia, you got CroCop, Arlovski, Vera, and now Couture. The other garbage littering the division aren't legit players in the division so they're not worth mentioning. They're just hired on a fight to fight basis to help fill up a card. Guys who are disposable and irrelevant who can be replaced at anytime like Kongo, Sanchez, Mir, Monson, Eilers, Buentello, etc.
Even the current fighters in the so-called elite class aren't exactly what I would deem super talented, except for CroCop. Arlovski, the china chinned striker who lost everytime somebody touched his little chin. Couture, a grandfather who's just looking for a big payday and being used as a quick cash grab by Dana White based on his name, even though he hasn't beaten a top fighter since Belfort 3 years ago, and before that having gotten wasted in the heavyweight divison by Rodriguez and Barnett in consecutive TKO losses.
Face it, the money in the UFC isn't very good and it's not going to motivate big strong young athletes to try out MMA. It's still a small market relatively. Tim Sylvia, a former bouncer turned MMA fighter is fighting in a talentless division, pretty much a big fish in a tiny pond. That's why Dana White is now opening his wallet and trying to recruit more fighters from the international scene, and he started with CroCop.
You've seen how the sport of boxing has suffered. Young strong athletes taking up other sports because the money is bigger. The UFC's heavyweight division is very much the same. Would you like to fight for a piece of sh*t belt for $50,000 per fight? Or would you rather try your luck in a league that can pay you millions? Go where the money is. There's no money in MMA, therefore a small roster of fighters, therefore meaning a flabby sack of sh*t who had zero amateur training could quit a bouncing job in a bar, sign up with a fighting camp, and win the heavyweight belt. That's the equivalent of Tye Fields coming in and winning the world heavyweight boxing title.
MMA still has a long way to go, it's still very much a travelling circus, filled with very underpaid fighters who hold 2 jobs to make ends meet. Tim Sylvia holding a belt in a very limited division means little. Especially considering the guys he's facing are wrestlers trying to be strikers. A 5'7", 280lb muscle bound JuJitsu fighter trying to jab like he's Larry Holmes just does not look good.:jester: But you got Joe Rogan barking on tv about how the fighters are just so insanely talented and are world-class on their feet and yet the poor f*ckers don't even know the meaning of slipping a jab or moving their heads. F*ckin sideshow man! Reminds me of Matt Hughes who trys to dance around the octagon like he's Ray Robinson but when GSP hit him in the face with a jab, Hughes throws his hands up like a 4 year old girl getting spanked by her daddy with a look of shock. Seeing wrestlers trying to imitate boxers on their feet is pretty whacked. But what can you do? The wrestlers can't do anything when they can't score takedowns. Jeff Monson, Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, etc. All 3 of these poor bastards couldn't do sh*t when their opponents stuffed their takedowns in their most recent fights.

He's fighting jokes. Monson NEVER deserved a shot at the title, and neither does old man Couture. Tim Sylvia = BIG fish in a tiny pond. It's not ignorance to the sport to dislike Sylvia, it's awareness to see the UFC's heavyweight division for what it is. It's a piece of crap division. People just latch onto whoever has a winning record. The way they jumped on the Arlovski bandwagon because he delivered a few KOs over fatass bums like Buentello and Eilers during his title reign.
There's no solid competition in that crappy division.

And how is that Sylvia's fault?

Plus, UFC is starting is starting to address the situation with the signing of Cro Cop.

I wonder if Sylvia KO's Cro Cop, will the fans finally give Sylvia his due, or will they continue to dog him and make excuses for Cro Cops loss.

He should get respect for beating CroCop. But even then so, what does it say about the UFC or MMA in general if a tall man with a jab and very basic takedown defense(with no submission or ground skills whatsoever) can be a champion in the UFC? It probably means a guy like Wladimir or Vitali could step into the UFC and wreck the division without much effort.
Tim Sylvia is a bouncer turned MMA fighter, the guy had no amateur career or background in any discipline. Even his so called boxing skills are awful. Bad balance, straight up stance, no footwork, clumsy oaf with a left/right. He's a Mike Jamison-level boxer at best. But I guess that's all you need to rule the UFC's heavyweight division, well with a tiny bit of knowledge in executing a sprawl and in locking your fingers into the fence when an opponent tries to take you down.:jester:
I think it says more about the crappyness of the UFC than it does about Tim Sylvia. Half-decent big man beats good small man.

It's what makes MMA laughable. You see Ashes, the evolution of MMA has forced non-strikers to become strikers. Fighters like Tito Ortiz and Matt Hughes for example. 2 guys who are pure wrestlers are now trying to incorporate boxing into their routines because not every fight goes to the ground. So wrestlers and grapplers and submission artists are being forced to stand and strike and that's not an area they're fluid at. Randy Couture is not a striker.

Ok.

Cro Cop and Hunt are the names that immediately come to mind.

Schilt is no longer considered an MMA fighter, IMO. He fights so rarely, that its like still considering Cro Cop as a K-1 fighter. He doesn't count.

Kharitatov? LOL...no.

Alexander? Perhaps. He's raw still and I would take Sylvia over him.

The reason you're talking the way you are with so much praise towards Tim is because he's currently on top right now. It would be a different story if we were discussing this back when he got ripped apart by Arlovski 2 years ago. Kinda like how Wladimir Klitschko right now is praised as the best heavyweight in the division right now. How did we judge him back when he got smacked out by Sanders in humiliating fashion?
Yeah, as usual it's always about who's hot right now on the scene eh? Once Tim gets his ass smashed up, you won't even remember that there was a guy named Tim Sylvia. He's on top of a weak sh*t division. I've already said that his days are numbered. It's a matter of time.
Alexsander Emelianenko is clearly a superior striker to Tim, just so happens he doesn't give a sh*t about where his career is headed and he's not hungry at all. Kharnitov too has suffered a few setbacks, but he's shown he's got ability. It's not like neither of these guys aren't capable of dropping Tim like a bad habit the way Arlovski did. Keep in mind, these are huge guys who can match up physically to Tim, especially 6'6 Alexsander who has very fast powerful hands.

He doesn't have skills worth a sh*t. Just so happens these MMA fighters with their so-called striking skills make ButterBean look like a peak Larry Holmes. Like I said before, wrestlers can't convert to boxing. Did you ever see Jeff Monson's preparation for Sylvia? They were prodding a 6 foot metal rod with a boxing glove on the end at Monson's head and Monson was trying to slip it. Most ridiculous and stupid sh*t I ever saw. Dude was training for the fight as if he was going to compete in World's Strongest Man, pushing trucks uphill and lifting truck tires. :jester: Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkKIORv14cQ

Hey Hanzy, are there any world class Indian mma fighters?

MMA hasn't hit the entire world yet, therefore the sport hasn't made a major impact to the point where third world countries like India will take notice, motivating kids to take up MMA as a hobby or career.
In 10-20 years if MMA gets massive and is on par with football or baseball, then perhaps. But even then so, indians generally don't take their sporting careers to the professional level. They're more laidback and prefer to do things on their own time. That's how we roll!!!!:jester:

The Sylvia hate is ridiculous. People hate him because he doesn't 'look' like he should be champ, he's a bit of a goofball, and because 2 of his recent fights were stinkers. The hate has nothing to do with his talent, or imagined lack of it.

Sylvia is going to destroy Randy.

Sylvia could beat Cro Cop, so lets talk more about how he will shit on "Captain America". Why would you put that nick on a dude who has lost almost as many fights as he's won? Thats the captain of America? Some loser?
Thats why we call him CAPTAIN AMERICA you fool!!!!!

Im sure that fight is only a couple of months away.....Cro Cop kills Sachez, Sylvia slaughters Captian The Natural American, Cro Cop beats a MINOR FRINGE contender, then Cro Cop and Sylvia go at it....By that time, Arlovski is back in the mix

Cro Cop may get Vera after Sanchez though, as Vera's punishment for holding out for too much money on the long term deal
Another moron that thinks he knows MMA from his computer screen:boohoo: :loveballs:

I doubt it, there will probably be one upset at this card, and my pick is Chris Lytle by TKO over Matt Hughes. fdgdssddw

I didn't see you around here before teh fights. It's easy being the smart one when it's all said and done.

Let's SEE YOU make some predictions for the next UFC event.

Who do you have in the Okami/Swick fight?

It was a hell of a fight for Couture, he rang Tim's bell with that first punch, and Tim was never able to recover.

But for everyone who thinks suddenly UFC is gonna drop Sylvia, that's crazy. There's still money in a Cro-Cop\Sylvia fight, it'll probably be Cro-Cops 1st defense, assuming he beats Gonzaga and then Randy. At worst, they'll keep him around as a steppingstone fighter to face new heavyweights they bring in.

You'd be one unhappy motherfucker a lot of the time then. Couture lost as many 'big fights' as he's won.

In all fairness, just about every professional fighter interviewed before the fight said they were pulling for Randy but thought Silvia would win the fight.

Good thing alot of us have been brought down to reality. No more of this Sylvia is an elite striker bullsh*t. F*cking paper champion. Now we see the true difference in skills between a fighter who's been wrestling all his life compared to some big oaf who used to bounce and then decided to become a fighter based on his size.ghfjdgs

So where was your tip on this fight, Mentok? All you said was how shit Sylvia is. You never said boo about Captain Baldify beating him that I saw and yet you've done nothing but crow about it. :jester:

The subject revolved around Sylvia being an elite striker, not Couture taking him to school. Read the lines, my son!

Don't go around talking stupid shit. Everybody expected to see Couture die on the weekend. I bet you did too, but didn't even put a prediction up anywhere to be found.

You've had your fun. Sylvia got tooled and looked like a clueless moron standing. But don't go overboard, Mentok. Your powers failed you there. :nono:

My powers did not fail me on this, From The Ashes!:nono:
My talking is done on MMAfighting.com and MMAnews forums. That's where we live and breath MMA, that's where the polls were made and that's where I voted for Couture leading up to the fight. Would I have bet the house on Couture? No! But as the fight drew closer and the more I discovered about the Couture/Sylvia sparring sessions at Team Quest 5 years back, the more I leaned towards Couture to take the title. Ultimately, the night of the fight I went 100% behind my pick that Couture would lift the title. I envisioned it in a way where he would do alot of holding and takedowns and alot of lay and pray, leading to a somewhat boring decision win. I never envisioned that he was going to treat Sylvia like a stupid little 4th grade dipsh*t. Nobody thought that. I felt Couture would scrape by in a tough struggle in a fight that mainly would happen on the ground with alot of boring moments. Instead, he goes out, completely nullifies Tim's striking game, and throws him down to the ground at his leisure. A very good performance. It's safe to say Tim Sylvia has been completely exposed and I wish him well in the future. It's going to be a difficult climb back into contention. Dana White most likely will use him as a gatekeeper, try to ride out the contract and probably throw him back in the gutter where he found em.

A proper jab will befuddle 99% of heavyweights. Few people realize how truly weak the division is behind Fedor, Nog and Cro Cop.
