Chuck vs. tito is rumoured for UFC 66.

yea, that sounds about right. i know silvia will be defending his belt soon, probably @ 65. who the hell is monson?

Jeff Monson http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/f...?FighterID=262 he's a decent fighter who's on a 16 fight win streak ,but Sylvia should be able to defeat him without much trouble.

Sylvia is going to have 11 inches on Monson, this is a really horrible matchup for Monson.

Surely this is a great matchup for Monson as he has a chance (of debatable size) to win the UFC hw belt?

If he takes Sylvia down (and he will at some point imo) he can submit him.

git.

Yeah Monson is an absolute animal. If it stays on the feet, obviously Sylvia has the reach advantage, and we all know he's a pretty lethal striker. But if it does go to the ground, Monson might just be too strong for him (despite his...compact....size)

I seriously doubt that Monson will stand a chance in hell against Sylvia.Monson isn't a very good striker and hasn't fought a good striker in a long while.Sylvia's almost a foot taller than Monson and should be able to easily utilize his jab and win this fight with little difficulty.Monson is a decent fighter ,but just a really bad match up for Tim.

It's like I've said in the past Pe De Pano Cruz(A jui jitsu guy)was keeping Monson at bay with a weak jab and leg kicks,Chuck Liddell fucked Monson up using nothing ,but leg kicks.Sylvia will offer more than just a weak jab and leg kicks.Sylvia will win this fight by knock out.

agreed.

i love how everyone underestimates Monson...NOT!

i can't wait until he proves everyone wrong and submits Tim Sylvia!!! i'm still sticking with my prediction...Monson shoots under Sylvia's punches, picks him up, slams his ogre ass, then submits him! will be the sweetest moment of the year in MMA hehe :grinsmile1:
