It wasn't possible to waste the best opportunity of your career more than AA did.He stopped kicking and didn't fight to win,just not to loose.AA is a great fighter athleticism wise,an idiot for the rest

Silva may be his only bargaining chip left soon.

In what way could Sylvia ever be underrated? He has a bad standup, bad becuase its his ONLY weapon. Compare it to the standup of Mirko or Sergei. Im not taking anything away from Tim - he won fair and square but more the fact AA had a terrible gameplan and looked awful. It was as bad as it was boring.

Based on their latest clash, I'd say both seem to be true.

But that doesn't quite make justice to them. Arlovsky is good, his strategy sucked (imo), Sylvia gained more respect, he has grown to be a champion, I think Tim has been bit underrated. But that doesn't make Sylvia yet multidimensional mma-superhero, nor does it make Arlovsky a onedimensional lucky has-been.

Props to both. Their fight was bit lacklustre, but both stood up till the end.

Tim has to be the most underated fighter on Sherdog, because he looks unco when he fights. News flash retards, just because someone doesn't look co-ordintated doesn't mean they can't avoid shots and hit you with something that will knock you the fuck out. In fact his ackwardness works for him because not many people would be used to the way he fights.

both overrated.
a very tame fight.

Sylvia, though not overly impressive by any means, did just enough to eke out a victory over a painfully tentative Arlovski and deserve much credit for his performance.

They are both low ranked top 10 heavey weight fighters - and no matter how many times they fight each other it wont change anything!!!

Arlovski is the most overrated fighter here.

Sylvia and Nakamura are the most underrated.

Evan_The_Kid_1 · 07-09-2006, 07:56 AM

Both. I really like AA to.

Andrei should've taken it to the ground...
and Sylvia is an idiot for putting his title defense up to the judges. He should've been more aggresive, Arlovski was afraid of the standup, and he didn't look like he wanted to goto the ground at all. I have no idea what Arlovski was even thinking.
