can tito ortiz ground and pound tim sylvia?

i bet he could. what great fight that people would love to see.

can't you just feel people stumbling over themselves to tell me how this fight is completely impossible and could never happen in any universe?

this rigid and artificial weight class religion that's gotten into the UFC has taken a lot of the fun out of the show.

The fight could easily happen from a weight class perspective since Tito is cutting weight to make LHW. Sylvia has a pretty good takedown defence, but I've never seen him in there with a wrestler on Titos level. If Tito could get the takedown he could win pretty easily IMO. Hard to say if he could get it though.

Anyway you look at it its a bad fight for the UFC though.

First off this fight would never ever happen. Two, Tito wouldnt stand a chance of winning. Syvia has good takedown defence and Titos takedowns are good against guys smaller or his size, not a guy who weight 60 lbs more, Tito would get involved in a standup fight and would get ko'd. If Ricco, couldnt do it to Tim, how could Tito?

For the record, this 'rigid and artificial weight class religion' is the only thing keeping the UFC sanctioned.

tim does not weigh 60 pounds more than tito.

once again, weight classes work their evil tricks on the fun, making it so we can never know if tito's good takedowns and wrestling would work on tim.

don't even tell me tim can't get taken down. he had to cheat in his last fight to avoid the takedown from a guy with crap takedowns.

so a guy that weighs 220 pounds and is a natural heavyweight can never, ever fight at heavyweight in this universe?

this is exactly what i'm talking about. this rigid weight class crap has eliminated plenty of interesting fights.
