**How will Fedor do in the cage @ the Affliction fight?**

Rutten4Pres. · 02:01 AM

He is great in the ring but do you think he'll know what to do when he is pinned against the cage? Sylvia has a lot of weight that he can use to pin fedor against the cage and strike w/ his long reach...

Fedor has NEVER fought in the cage I hope he trains for it and doesn't take it lightly...

I think Fedor will take it but I definitley wouldn't count Tim out.

I never thought about that. Sylvia is much recovered from the fight he had with Couture. His back was fucked back then. He looked strong against Vera and especially Nogueira but his weak submission defense shows a clear opening for Emelianenko's freak-like hips.

Depending on if elbows are aloowed always have the possibility of a cut stoppage with Fedor... he cuts like Nick Diaz. It could be bad for Fedor. American crowd will probably root for Sylvia to support USA! (zomg!) and Fedor isn't known for folding under any pressure whatsoever. Sylvia will be very determined (reflects to the "BRING ON FEDOR!" remark.)

I see Fedor winning by submission in round 2 after a Sylvia 10-9 round 1.

I don't see Fedor fighting in the cage any time soon. His next fight is in a ring against Big Tim. I only see maybe 1 person that would pin fedor to the cage and that is randy couture.

Fedor in the cage=dangerous

If you look at the seating chart for Affliction tix you'll notice it says it's a cage.

I think because they are just basing it off the UFC seating for the Pond. From what I remember hearing, it's in a ring.

Could be right, I'm not 100% sure.
