    No he doesn't and he'll beat Couture without any trouble at all.
     
  9. I'm sure he will. Couture shouldn't be fighting anymore, especially at heavyweight.

    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.

    I like Tim Sylvia, comes off as a decent guy, but a little weird. He's a good fighter, just a bit clumsy looking.

    The Maine-iac is an even more ridiculous nickname than The Dean Of Mean, but fourhooks probably loves it. :jester:

    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?

    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

    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.

    Vera is uber talented, its just that Mirko kills most people, and Vera falls into the "most people" category at this point....

    If that fight comes off, its a good starting point for Vera's 205lb campaign.


    Cro Cop vs Arlovski is a fight I've been DYING to see. Incredibly skilled strikers, well versed, disiplined......it would be a great stand up fight

    :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.

    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.
