Ohh...this makes me all tingly inside. That would be an awesome fight.

Do you think Wandy would overpower him or do you think Couture will throw him around like Cro Cop did at the OWGP?

Paying 40 plus dollars for each pay per view all most fans ask for is to fight your ass off and go for the win....thats why everyone loves Randy and Im satisfied now that a fighter said Tim loves the belt to much to take a risk and win by a decision. Randy will beat Tim but is then just being setup for a highlight reel knockout from CroCop a la LHK.

I'm with you...it was high time someone finally said what EVERYONE knew... that Timmy wasn't fighting as aggressively as he could have been given the situation.

How many "Hell Yeahs" do you think were blurted out when Couture said that on Inside The UFC?

It they had 400,000 viewers, I would say 399,999 "Hell Yeahs" and one giant goof spewing his beer all over himself.

Chuck Liddell is so damn good at it cuz he is a great wrestler! BJ Penn is so damn good at it cuz hes BJ fuckin Penn! but even he was takin down by GSP.. Cro-cop.. it took years for him to develope good takedown D but still he wouldnt stuff a very good wrestlers takedowns.. Tim Sylvia is none of these things! hes just a giant fighter, with power that trains in MFS this doesnt make him capable of defending one of the best wrestlers MMA has ever seen! if Randy is still capable he will win this fight HANDS DOWN.

I think Silvia may be just as good of a wrestler as Chuck. I think your fooling yourself and i'vel never been any more sure about the outcome of a fight. Couture doesn't have the slightest chance. BTW, have seen Silvia on the recieving end of an effective GnP??? I haven't and I'm sure I wont now. Couture will lose by heart attack in the 2nd round.

I have never seen people so biased about a fighter in my life.:banghead: It makes me sick, I'm really going to laugh when Randy get dropped on his old geritol eating ass. Not sayin your biased Afro but clearly most of these people are

Ok...whether you think Courture will win or not is an opinion. You think Sylvia will win, I pray for Courture to win.

Now...people are so biased against Timmy because he is holding back, not fighting aggressively, an generally an all around bad champ. Are you defending his last handful of fights? If you are, please expand on your point. What makes Timmy a good champ? Is he exciting to watch? Is he technically proficient in any skill area? Does he go out and give us a good fight each and everytime he steps in to the octagon?

Randy is officially the real Captain America. I think Sylvia will win but i hope Randy does. I feel sorry for whoever gets CroCop.

How is Tim just as good of a wrestler as Chuck?

Chuck was a starter at Cal Poly.. thats a good wrestling college, he coulda gone further then that.. Chuck is a very good wrestler.. Tim only wrestled in High School.

I just hope Randy chops that big oak tree down. Tim is a clown.

Well all I know is that Tim wins!! He comes in with a game plan and executes it. In the Monson fight, he stuck to the script didn't take any chances and won the fight exactly how they wanted. He fought the way he did to avoid the takedown. He didn't want to be subbed. Sounds reasonable to me. lot of boxers get boed for fighting boring fights and not taking chances but you know what the trainers say? It's better to get boed than lose because you make a dum mistake. I care more about winning than how you win, and honestly Tim has an impressive KOrecord, ya'll must of forgot, ask AA if he pulls his punches.

But the point is Tim still has the experience. Size, strength, and weight, has as much to do with wrestling as technique. The point is Tim is too big to be overpowered on the ground and in the clintch IMO. Don't get me wrong, Randy can take him down one time or another, but it will not be as effective and I think Tim will successfully stand back up and dominate. People really underestimate Silvia, and he's the F'ing champion. Ya'll will be surprised at how good Tim is come UFC 67. It may not be pretty but it getys the job done.
