| Tim Sylvia talks Minotauro Nogueira fight and more Quote: |
“I truly believe he [Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira] is the best heavyweight jiu-jitsu fighter in the world today. I mean, he brings to the table being a former PRIDE heavyweight champion. He’s a stud. I’ve been watching him for a long time. I was watching Nogueira when I wasn’t even fighting, yet, when I was just training. When I started fighting, I was watching him and I was like, ‘Wow, I’d like to fight him one day. He’s really, really good.’ I truly believe he’s somebody I can go in there and beat and move me up in the rankings. Maybe, someday if everything goes right and we beat Nogueira, we can get Fedor (Emelianenko) to sign a fight. We’ll get to shut the world up after that.”

Sounds like Tim thinks, even after a spanking by Coutour and a lackluster win over Vera, that he quite possibly could be the #1 HW in the world... Haha I don't see it. |

Tim's probably the reason Arlovski hasn't resigned (yet, hopefully). I just hope Nogeira finishes him, and we can move on.

Randy is a stud
Fedor is a stud
Nog is a stud
Tim really needs to upgrade his vocabulary.

I think Tim has a good chance of winning, but I really don't want him to.

I find it funny that he thinks if he beats Nog Fedor will come calling. Nog should beat him soundly but even if he doesn't, Fedor vs Tim would end with him being beaten like he's never been beaten before. I hope Big Nog wins and Tim just falls into obscurity.
