Last time Sylvia got taken down...he held onto the cage for support.

Just because Tim heard that the ' size ' does matter in sex when he was teenager , doesnt mean he has to talk about how tall he is and so on . In MMA a well trained midget could beat an untrained guy like Tim .
It's not the size that matters , it's the way you work it !

He will have to fight Tim's game, which is why Tim is so deceptively good. He looks silly, maybe, but packs one hell of a punch and wins 92% of the time. Sounds good to me.

yeah, because Ricco is Fedor. here's a clue, he doesn't get taken down because he fights strikers and there are no good wrestlers in the UFC HW

Tim seems to luck into things like fighting for the title more times than he has ever defended it and fighting AA hurt(still didn't prove anything in that fight even though he won). He has the most oppurtunity any fighter has ever had. Unfortunatley with Fedor hurt it could be a possbility that Tim would win, and just the fact that Fedor hasn't fought in a long time. At any other time fedor's career I would say he would destroy him, but if Tim would win it be because Fedor is hurt.

Fedor can't take Tim down?
Please name a single fight where Fedor couldn't take his opponent down at will (Arona fight doesn't count because Fedor wanted to keep that standing). Outside of Schilt, who he did get to the ground and pounded to a rather boring, but still dominating victory, there has not been anyone who can stop Fedor's takedown from the clinch. But somehow Syliva is going to be able to? Hopefully you'll at least admit that once it gets to the clinch Fedor will be able to take him down. So Sylvia has to manage to avoid the clinch against Fedor for somewhere between 15-25 minutes (depending on where the match is and under whose rules). No way in the world is that possible. I don't think Fedor is going to bother standing with Tim, because Fedor knows that Tim's only chance is standing. I think if it were a standup fight Fedor would still win, but that Tim's chances would be far better. If the fight goes to the ground, Tim actually has no chance at all. Based on everything that's happened so far, there is no reason to believe Fedor couldn't take Tim down. He's done it to everyone else so far...and he did it to a guy who has is taller and has more experience than Tim (Schilt).
This is why it is not a 50/50 fight. It should be more like 95/5...and of those 5 4 of them would be due to a cut.
Oh...and you know that Fedor's cut loss is highly disputed. You know that if RINGS weren't holding a tournament that the fight would've been NCed. Please don't suggest that their records are similar---Fedor's loss was due to an ILLEGAL elbow. There is no disputing it. Tim lost because Mir broke his arm and AA almost broke his ankle.
I understand you like and know Tim, but cmon. 50/50 with Fedor? No way

Sylvia will only defeat Fedor in his mind. The only thing about his mouth is that it is as big as him.

Sylvia doesn't deserve a shot at Fedor....he would have to prove himself by fighting some of the pride heavy weight contenders first
