I can't wait for this fight!!!!!
Re: Fedor E. Vs. Tim Sylvia
I can't wait to see how Fedor gets Sylvia down to
wrestle and grapple, which given Fedor's pattern will happen after striking for
a bit. I would guess that Fedor won't stand and strike for very long.
That's what several fighters have tried to do with Sylvia is to avoid
challenging his reach, which looks like a total struggle.
It's going to be such a perfect demonstration of Fedor's skills (or perchance, Sylvia's
toughness) because of how solid and hard to fight Sylvia's been for many popular HW's in the UFC.
He may not be undefeated but he's been as hard to fight as anyone.
If Fedor really can work Sylvia with wrestling and grappling it doesshow you
how good Fedor really is. Given the possibility that Sylvia's back was mending and injured
during the Couture fight then this will hopefully show a perfectly healthy Sylvia, too, which
apparently we didn't get to see 100% during the Couture fight, according to Tim - and another source someone posted on here.
I'm so glad, sooo glad, that this great of a fight was not yet AGAIN postponed with an
uneven matchup.
YEah!!!

Or, Fedor could just walk out there, put Tim down, and keep him there. I don't know why, I just feel weird about this one.

The clinch is used to take away reach advantage here. Fedor will trip Tim down and work his game.

If Randy can take Tim down, so can Fedor.

Awesome facts man. we need to start tracking stats like this like they do in other sports. We should know how long each fighter spends on there back. percentage of subs from back or top position etc. the more stats the better... as a sports nut its something i love.
