Tim Sylvia to fight Brandon Vera

http://www.nokaut.com/?id=12&solo_ne...lang=e&cur=eur

Quote:
On a UFC 74 conference call, UFC President Dana White confirmed Brandon Vera will return before the end of 2007 and his opponent will be former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia.

Brandon Vera last fought at UFC 65 November 18, 2006, beating former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir by TKO in the first round.

Just a month later, Vera attended the inaugural press conference of promoter Gary Shaw's EliteXC MMA promotion. At the time, Vera had just one fight left on his UFC contract and told the press his future was with "whoever wants to take care of me the best."

After that ExliteXC appearance and subsequent layoff from competition, rumors swirled that Vera was being punished by Dana White. Thursday (August 16th), White told the media that wasn't true. White said Vera's layoff was caused by Vera's management change.

Indeed, Brandon Vera is no longer managed by Mark Dion, nor does he train at City Boxing in San Diego, California, Dion's gym. Vera is starting a new gym in San Diego called Alliance MMA (www.alliancemma.com).

White also confirmed that Vera has signed a new contract with the UFC, but couldn't recall how many fights are included. White also couldn't confirm the date of Vera's return to the Octagon to fight Tim Syvlia.

Tim Syliva last fought at UFC 68 March 3, 2007, losing his UFC Heavyweight Title to Randy Couture.

I have found it puzzeling that Andrei has been buried lately. Yeah he did have a shitty boring fight...but he won for fucks sake, that's the whole fucking point. And lets not forget this is the guy who was knocking people out for fun. Dana White is a fucking jackass.

Hes been geting fucked right now. He had a bad fight against Sylvia and another in his last fight but between those two he knocked out his other opponent. Not to mention his last fight was against a guy that is a black belt in BJJ and primarily fights as such, and andrei is a stand up fighter. Fights with that combonation historically have been very boring about 9 times out of 10. Plus the guy ran from andrei and why should andrei go to the ground with a Black belt if he doesnt have to.

Not trying to argue with anyone, just venting really. My wrestling coach trains him in wrestling too and he was telling me that it was rumored that andrei was going to fight vera next, even andrei is out of the loop. I wonder who andrei could possably have now. Especially because the next match up for CroCop is apparently supposed to be Big Nog if he beats Kongo. The only other fighters I could see being worth it for andrei to fight would be either Herring or Mir. But they are not up to the level that andrei needs to be fighting to get a title shot.

He should have been the opponent for one of the new guys coming in, dana white is just being an asshole because he had a couple of shitty fights. He should be put right in the mix with guys like cro cop (who lets not forget just got knocked the fuck out). Dana white get's pissed when guys have boring fights, he would do well to remember he is the one that books the fights in the first place. A bit of thought into things and boring fights would be less frequent.....imo

your right but i mean not everyone is trying to put on a show. Sometimes guys actually want to win. Now I respect the showmanship, but when there is a lot on the line, its much smarter to play it a bit safer than to try something stupid and get caught. When it comes down to it, it should be about wins.

I think that they should have mini tournaments once a year to make a difinitive contender. They would still have championship matches all year, but they would then have a fighter that deserves it hands down no questions asked at least once a year.

well speak of the devil...

http://www.irishwhipfighting.com/200...-arlovski.html

Quote:
Masson Liang: First off, how are things between you and Patrycja shaping up? Are you guys thinking of marriage anytime soon?
Andrei Arlovski: Everything is good with us, thank you for asking. We are in love, but not thinking about marriage.

ML: How has everything been going, as far as training goes? With a nearly four-month hiatus now, are you still keeping in tip-top shape and training even though, according to Joe silva, you don't have a fight booked?
AA: I always try and keep in shape. I take a couple weeks off after a fight and then go back to the gym. I get to work on technique for boxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling and other things that need help. I also do some weights and conditioning.

ML: Many fans are wondering where you've been. When can "Pitbull" fans expect you back inside The Octagon?
AA: Hopefully soon. I was thinking September/October, but it is up to the UFC.

ML: Even though you won your last two bouts, even nearly knocking Marcio Cruz's head off, Dana White stated that you're last showings weren't very great and that it set you back. What are your feelings toward this?
AA: My opinion and my teams opinion is that I did a good job. It’s just the opinion of Dana White.

ML: Has UFC's treatment towards you changed in the past years and would you ever consider moving to another organization?
AA: I am very glad to be with the UFC and still have contract with them. I am UFC fighter now. Everything is good.

ML: What did it feel like to win the Heavyweight title from Tim Sylvia at UFC 51? Did you expect to win via Achilles lock?
AA: It was a very happy moment. I never know how I am going to win the fight but I always have a plan.

ML: In your words, what happened in your second bout with Sylvia? Did you think the fight was over after you rocked him the first time?
AA: I went out very confident that I would win. Yes I did... I thought when I dropped him on the ground I was sure I beat him again.

ML: Many critics said you weren't as aggressive in your fight with Werdum. Is there any reason behind this? Were there any injuries or were you just playing it safe and trying to keep the fight on its feet?
AA: I just follow instructions of my coaches and go and fight. Werdum is a very skilled fighter and I had to be careful with him on the ground.

ML: With PRIDE heavyweights, "Minotauro" Nogueira and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, and many newcomers (i.e. Gabriel Gonzaga) now in the UFC, how do you rank yourself amongst the UFC Heavyweights today?
AA: It is very good for the UFC that Dana brought great fighters to the UFC. I hope that one day I will fight one of those new, big names.

ML: Is there any one particular fighter you would like to fight in the UFC? Perhaps a rematch with Tim Sylvia?
AA: I want to fight with the best and become heavyweight champion again. For sure I would like to fight with Tim Sylvia one more time if it is possible.

ML: Many people believe you match-up perfectly with "Cro Cop." How do you think you match-up with him?
AA: I think that we match up very well and if the UFC wants us to fight, we will. He is a very good fighter.

ML: In the ever-popular discussion of "Who can beat Fedor?" your name often appears. What strengths do you have that could carry you to victory over him?
AA: Thank you. When I was a champion I wanted to fight with Fedor but I don’t know that it is possible now. He is a great fighter, but I don’t think he is unbeatable.

ML: You recently landed a role as a Russian fighter in the movie "Never Submit." Can you tell us more about that?
AA: I am not doing that movie anymore.

I totally agree, the ultimate goal is to win. If your are winning all the time, entertaining or not, then you are the best.

My point is dana white seems to be all about the showmanship, but he is the one booking the fights between guys and then bashing them when they fight in the only style that will win them the match. Forgeting that it is all about the win.

UFC seems to be going in a strange direction, i don't really get the booking.

I agree with the tournament idea. I think if they billed it right it could do good money for them.

Sorry but nobody wants to see boring fights. Arlovski's last 2 fights were horrible. It's more frustrating because everyone knows he has exciting fights in him.

you do realize that he had a fight between sylvia and werdum fights against marcio cruz where he KOed him in the first round right? so he hasnt had two boring fights in a row... hes had two boring fights total.

And it doesnt matter whether people want to see in terms of boring fights. It happens and theres nothing you can do about it. When you get to the top level of competition its going to happen. It happens in every sport and now that everyone is learning from everyone else, its happening in MMA. Watch the best in boxing. either Mayweather or Delahoya could have won that fight because they were so close to eachother. Watch actual wrestling like the olympics or ncaas. Rulon Gartner beat Corellon, the undefeated Russian who won 3 olympic golds in a row, by the score of 1-0 in 2000. Now was it exciting? Not at all, but their not going to not give him the gold medal because he had a boring match. Theyre not going to say a guy cant advance in a tournament because he didnt have an exciting match.

dana thinks that because there is so many dynamics to MMA that every fight should be awsome but thats rediculous. I understand that the fighters like to put on a show but this isnt wwe its an actual sporting event. Boxers and olympic wrestlers like to put on a show as well, but if they have a quality opponent, they need to go for the win. Sure they can say they 'went down in flames' or ' in a fleet of glory' but in the long run people only remember who win. the others fade off maybe with a little cult following but thats it.

Marcio Cruz fight wasn't that exciting.

And his 3rd fight with Tim Sylvia has to be the more boring MMA fight of all time.

It was a terrible knockout. It could almost be classified as a cheap shot. Now mind you it wasn't illegal, but it wasn't very honorable.

If I can recall Andre Arlovski wasn't really dominting that fight anyway. Didn't look all that impressive.

Totally agree with what Reavant said. NFL is the most popular sport and there is a bunch of boring games. Boxing back in it's haydays had a ton...don't kid yourselfs here. They could probably give Arlovski a Lance Storm type gimmick and hype him up as a heel...then at least you want to watch to see if he loses

Randy looked great in that fight. If he keeps his training up like he is now he is going to retire (again) as champ, I don't know who is going to beat him. Maybe Cro Cop...I don't think so though. Maybe Fedor....

I hoped he could do it, but as I posted in this thread - I didn't think he could, but my god, Randy Couture is my fucking hero.

Why not? IT'S A GAMBLE! They don't teach you simple English terms in school over there?

As for my predictions - wow got one wrong! Shoot me. Until the broken nose, Randy wasn't winning the stand up and his BJJ has always been non existant. And going into the fight, the betting line only started favouring Randy once they had a ton of cash placed on him.

Have to edit - the prediction on the show I actually got wrong was I had Grove beating Cote. Post 47 said my main event pick.

I offered someone a bet they didn't take. Now if you wanna talk about predictions, how about starting at post 47 on this thread.

You dont know what you're talking about. Randy was on his ass 20 seconds into the fight. He dominated him standing up and then slammed the shit out of Gonzaga. LOL His BJJ has always been non existant. Thats hilarious. I wont even comment. You do the work for me. Also, Couture wasnt favored on the betting line. He was underdog on about every book you can name. Like Bodog for instance had Randy at +105 and Gonzaga at -130. Everyone was pretty much picking Gonzaga.

And you know what, i knew you'd go to the nose injury as an excuse. Thats lame. When Rampage Jackson got beat by Shogun despite suffering a broken rib early in the fight, he announced that Shogun was the best fighter he had ever fought. Injuries obviously happen in MMA. Its unfortunate, but Randy was clearly the more aggressive. He clearly was on Gonzaga 20 seconds after the opening bell. He slammed Gonzaga and Gonzaga suffered a nose injury. It happens. Thats MMA. If you cant fight with an injury, you probably shouldnt be in MMA. Couture was taking Gonzagas best kicks and absorbing them. He even caught one.

It was clear as day Couture was winning that fight no matter what.
