BREAKING NEWS:Fedor Emiliananko will fight Tim Sylvia on July 19

Maybe your connections at Fightbeat can hook you up with some press credentials and you can cover the fight. I think it would be a pretty good story for the homepage, the first live MMA experience of a longtime Boxing fan.

Hey, while we're at it, maybe they can hook me up with some credentials for the EliteXC in Newark as well.

TFK

 

I will need passes for all San Jose events while we're at it. For the good of Fightbeat of course.

 

Who gives a shit what he looks like. He gets it done.

 

Top 10 for sure. And not garbage in MMA, just some poser garbage fans.

 

If it wasnt' fot them the UFC would be just as sucessful as the other orgs :eeeek:

 

Well, it's official....

:cheer:

 

I'm actually looking forward to this fight more then I would Fedor\Couture.

TFK

 

I'm not.Couture has a better chance of beating him than Sylvia because strikers never give Fedor trouble and plus Fedors defeated better standup fighters than Sylvia.Its always been wrestler they gave Fedor problems...dont believe me? just watch his fights.

 

TFK, interested in a friendly sig bet on this fight? :dunno:

You know how much I love Tim(:shit: ), but I would have to go with Fedor in this fight::

Fedor will punish him.

 

Ask me again around fight time. Let's see if this actually happens or not.

REED, maybe we can go and get our pics with Fedor!

 

The problem with your rationale is that some typical ground guys like Nog and Fujita had relative success standing and striking with Fedor.

I would also say that Mirko's stand-up gave Fedor some problems as well.

The key thing is that it is all relative. In the end Fedor beat them all, but he did have some issues with each while standing.

Personally I can't choose which guy I'd rather see Fedor fight between Tim and Randy. Tim's stand-up, size, and toughness could make the fight interesting. On the other hand, Couture's balanced game and strength could really test Fedor.

I'll take either just to see Fedor fight a live guy for a change.

 

I disagree. Fedor suprisingly outstruck Mirko that night.

 

You don't disagree. I only said Mirko's stand-up gave Fedor some problems. I didn't say he owned him or anything.

 

Sylvias new home after this fight

 

I dont know man....Mirco fought like a bitch in their last fight....he ran the whole time

 

:laughing: :: :clap:

 

Mirco is a frontrunner. He hates resistance. Not a true warrior at heart.

 

or maybe

 

Is this DEFINITELY Going to B N Dallas???...


REED:dunno:

 

What's he gonna do? Kill him with an Armbar?

It's not like Fedor KO's anyone.

TFK

 

Why do you care? They are both white. No brotha to root for. ::

 

Reed's a fan of Fedor, GSP, and others as well. Don't stir crap.

 

:: Throwing weight around already.

 

If there is no ref to stop a submission, Fedor would be decorating his mantlepieces with all various bodyparts of his opponents.:: A submission is as good as a KO as far as I'm concerned. The only difference being that a KO happens by chance but is not a norm. The refs these days are quick to stop fights before anything really bad happens.
I've noticed though that Fedor is more interested in executing submissions as opposed to ground and pound. I guess just as long as the job is done, all is well.

 

You know I'm just messing with ya buddy.

 

I know this, I was just messing with him. Don't get your superman undies in a bunch there mod man. ::

 

thats a deal man lets hope it does, good fight and good matchup:cheer:
