Arlovsky overrated or Sylva underrated?

Why Arlovsky did not tried to take down Sylvia when he was not taking advantage in the stand up? If he can't do it then I would not consider him even top 10 in Heavy weight division. He is not enough well rounded fighter if he can't take the fight to the ground if he needs it.

Or may be Sylvia is a real good fighter than could win any fighter in the world? Syvia should fight next an excellent ground fighter like Pe de Pano or Monson to see if he is good enough to avoid the takedown and defends on the ground.

What a bored fight. I don't want to see Arlovsky vs Sylvia (4) again.

aa is most overrated fighter ever on sherdog.

Sylvia/Monson looks like it's next up (with Monson winning tonight, the UFC making a point to show his fight highlight before the show ended, and Sylvia calling him out in the post-fight interview), so you'll get your wish.

AA lost it for him. As a fighter AA is great. However his corner sucks and he obviously can't think up a gameplan. If you got him a good corner and a good gameplan he can execute it perfectly. The only reason Tim won the fight was because he had a longer reach and AA stopped the kicks. It was not impressive either way around.

Arlovski is overrated.

Arlovski threw the fight. He could have finished him in round 1 if he wanted.

How about Tim is underrated. He is the UFC HW champ, he beat someone that you all said was unbeatable, and he did it twice in a row. Tim sounds like he may be headed to Pride, with his post fight interview, or seriously getting some salary demands in to UFC. Dana better watch it, as AA seems headed out, and Sylvia not far behind. Silva may be his only bargaining chip left soon.
