    I truly feel that with the inactivity of Fedor, combined with Sylvia's size, experience and underrated skills.......that Tim Sylvia is gonna shock the MMA world in this one.

    And Dana White is gonna laugh his fucking ass off and say "I told ya'all so!""

    Do you know if Affliction is using a ring or a cage?

    From what I've heard, a ring, which gives Fedor a big advantage.

    It would be a much better event oif it were in a cage.

    Does anyone know what weight Lindland is fighting at?

    So big Tim can use it to stop takedowns? lol He's going to have too rely more on himself instead of the cage.

    MMA is always better in a cage.

    I just read that Freddie Roach is going to be cornering Arlovski. If only he could teach him to take a punch.

    Personally I think grounded fighters benefit too much from a ring. The whole 'restart' thing is stupid and detracts from the drama of the fight.

    What does that have too do with using the cage as a crutch? They both have there pro's and cons personally I don't care were it fought.

    And Rothwell can bang, too. He's gonna leave Arlovski laying.

    Arlovski will get there first and Rothwell will realize he's not in the IFL anymore.

    This is Rothwell's chance to show that he is one of the best heavyweights in the world,right now he's just unproven.I don't consider him a can because he never fought in the UFC:shit:

    I never said he was a can and why do you bring up the UFC? I didn't mention that either.

    Rothwell, who I have seen fight many times just isn't that great. I think Arlovski beats him with no problem.

    It had nothing too do with you.I just saying what most people think,they believe that just because there not in the UFC automatically means there not any good.

    Rothwell fought a decent fight, but got outclassed by a better opponent. Arlovski brought his A Game, which is something he hasn't done since getting KO'd by Sylvia.
