lol, i guess guys with serious back problems fighting an Olympic caliber Greco Roman guy normally just shut down all the takedowns. people just hate on Tim.


and Pe De Pano pounded out Frank Mir, i wouldnt get too hyped up for nothing quite yet. lets see Brock fight more then a few minutes before saying he could beat Tim Sylvia.
real fighters>green wrestlers

see: Cro Cop vs Mark Coleman. a k-1 kickboxer with no formal wrestling experience, sprawled on a D-1 national champion, and multiple NCAA all-american who outweighed him by almost 30 pounds.

Jeff Joslin was undersized compared to Josh Koscheck, and still sprawled on him several times, every time Josh telegraphed the shot.

Sylvia would only be able to sprawl until his back hit the cage and then Lesnar would procede to scoop him up and dump him on his big head.

I'm sorry but the way Brock rag dolled Mir leads me to believe he could do it ot anybody.

so he ragdolled a BJJ guy that is completely fine with going to the ground, who prepared largely for a standup fight with a total unknown commodity. nobody knew shit about Brock, that wont be the case for any more of his fights.

Did you not watch any of the buildup or countdown to this fight? Mir said he thought brock would be smarter than to go to the ground with a BJJ Black belt and would use his wrestling to keep the fight standing. do some research before you try to be a smartass
