- big nog would beat tim for the same reasons that fedor would beat tim. big nog is a strong guy with decent striking, good takedowns, a great chin, and excellent grappling.
- mark hunt would be a terrible matchup for tim. tim wouldn't be able to ko hunt, and it would only be a matter of time before hunt dropped him. i know tim's never been knocked out, but he's been rocked by aa several times. and i like aa, but there's no way that aa can hit anywhere near as hard as hunt
- barnett's wrestling is awesome. sylvia has never fought a guy with wrestling as good as barnett's. barnett would take him down and sub him or gNp him. tim would have a puncher's chance, but my money would still be on barnett

I agree, aside from your Mark Hunt comment. That makes you look like an idiot. Sorry.
