Well, yeah but Fedor is still the best heavyweight in the world..
The only person who could give him trouble ATM is Couture.. |

Sylvia has better takedown defense than you give him credit for. Jeff Monson is a better wrestler than Fedor and he struggled like anything to do anything to him. This is probably the most dangerous fight out there for Fedor right now and I wouldn't be shocked at all if he lost.

Fedor last fight against a top level fighter was Crocop, and it was nearly 3 years ago.
I can not say he is the best heavyweight in the world atm. In fact I honestly don't know who is. And again with the expection of Hong man Choi (who sucks) none of those guys are as big as Tim Sylvia. |

All of them are over 6'3"..
I know Sylvia has a nice take down defense but Couture took him down at will.. |

Also, Matt Lindland isn't a garbage fighter even though he is past his prime..
Mark Hunt is an awesome striker too.. |

Yeah but see Matt Lindland naturally fights at middleweight, and didn't stand much of a chance against heavyweight figther the caliber of Fedor.

And he really sucks. I cannot say that enough.
Syliva is much better then him. So his height difference wasn't a factor, because he is terrible. |

I think Sylvia is a bad match up for Fedor and he avoided fighting him in the past. Point blank told UFC he didn't want to fight him and wouldn't fight him when Dana White was willing to do Pride exchanges. And except for Serra last time, I did good on tipping the big fights last year.

k fedor didnt take hong man choi down... he pulled him on top of himself. He took nog down so easily because nog wanted to be taken down so he could work his jits. A lot of the other guys that he took down were much lesser opponents. Sylvia is a tough person to fight with good skills and great takedown defense. He could be some serious trouble for Fedor. Personnally im putting my money on fedor but i could see fedor not being able to take him down and just taking shots to the face most of the fight.

They had to cut Affliction once they announced they wanted to start their own MMA group. Not the UFC's problem.

yup... theres a ton of guys sponsored by them. Also they give a lot of fighters free shit. Even the ones that dont have a shirt with their name on it.

Im an idiot... overtime, the place i train at, is having the senior level wrestlers have their workouts there for getting ready for the olympic trials and stuff and JD Bergman and Tommy Rowlands are gonna be there and my coaches are like, hey you want to come in and work with them, they need a bigger guy to work with. and im like sure. Why i said that i dont know but yesterday i wrestled bergman and i held my own but still it wasnt pretty and today i get to wrestle rowlands... what the hell was i thinking? meh

I don't like the UFC PPV DVD's. No intros and music and some missing hype videos. Pointless.
