Remember when getting “Cro Copped” meant receiving a head kick from him, not folding like a paper fan from getting knocked out by one like him? Loved him in PRIDE
but it looks more and more like the rumors of guys lying down for him may be true because why does he suck so hard now? Kongo? COME ON!

Have any of you MMA editors seen or heard anything about how Fedor is currently training…?…I’m curious to see who is sparring/rolling with to get ready for this bout…?

Just so there are no misunderstandings on where i stand;
1 I don’t like Sylvia but I think he has a chance.
2 i don’t think fedor is pound 4 pound the best. good but not the best.
3 I think if Sylvia does not KO fedor he will lose
4 I think that if Fedor wins it will be by submission.
5 Sylvia knocks people out with those short choppy punches, they’re hard to defend
6 This is the second time I made a list and numbered it, do I have OCD?

@ Phil Magroin:

Say what you will about Sylvia, but I must admit, for him being as freakishly large as he is, Sylvia’s got some pretty good cardio. He can, and lately, usually does go the full 5 rounds. Go back and watch the match with him and Nog. Nog was really gassed and Sylvia still had some “pep” in him. If Sylvia had brushed up on his submissions, he would have had that fight at three different points. Classic case of not making the sale…

…and Nog’s got good defense.

…”pep”…that’s an “old guy” kinda word…maybe with luck, Gina will throw me down a pyramid…

@Boneman
Not in particular, crocop has those sick kicks and herring, well he’s dangerous anywhere(and I feel underrated). Sylvia has those quirky punches that knock people out and you’re left wondering just what exactly happened. Fedor by submission as soon as Tim “Spare Tire” Sylvia gases. But if he were to KO Fedor that would be just my luck.

@ Phil Magroin

Sylvia has the power to knock the guy out. ??….I doubt it…

It’s not like Fedor wasn’t punched & kicked in the head before….

Crocop, Herring, Hunt etc…..Have all connected squarely on Fedors melon….

RU saying Sylvia hits harder then them…?

Exactly!!! Buy Affliction Banned and Tivo the free UFC so Dana White doesn’t get the ratings!!!

On the flip side, I haven’t ordered a UFC pay per view in like over a year, but I did jump on Rampage vs. Forrest. I enjoyed it, but hopefully not as much as I will enjoy Fedor vs. Sylvia.

The only reason Dana White is bringing back Jesse Taylor is because he knows people might tune in just to see him piss himself, possibly taking away a viewer or two from the Affliction card. He’s trying to ride off Taylor’s controversy, plain and simple. Dana realized after he let Taylor go how much people love to watch douchebags make complete fools of themselves.

Hmmm….

I’m skeptical too of Bisping’s comments. I think it’s probably pretty rare that a fighter goes in the ring at “100%”.

“90%” Fedor will still mess you up….
