Monson vs. Sylvia for the belt...
 

What are peoples' takes on this one? Seriously I am looking very forward to this fight! And of course I'm pulling for Monson :grinsmile1: but seriously...i think Moson is short enough to stay below Sylvia's punches, despite his reach advantage. All that "Great Takedown Defense" Sylvia talks about he has is really going to be put to the test here. I see Monson backing Sylvia up to the cage, picking him up and slamming the hell out of Tim...and then subbing him! I think I'll mark out more for that then for any other fight I have or ever will mark out for LOL

i think i agree with every word you just said. and i can't believe they didn't put him on the main card at UFC 61 and instead we got to see frank mir dig his MMA grave and jiggle whilst doing it. but like monson said after beating cruz, he's the only guy that could beat both arlovski and sylvia. can't wait to see him as champ.

i want the ufc to pay for fedor or cro cop. seeing tim beat is pretty good but i want to see him get ktfo

Fedor and Cro Cop would definately smash Silvia...but how do you think a fight with another big guy like James Thomson would go??

yeah Monson should have been on the main card at 61. i'll bet if the sylvia/arlovski bore fest wasn't 5 rounds, we would have got to see his fight with Perosh. can't wait for him to beat Sylvia!!!

i hope Monson crushes Sylvia.

Monson would dominate Silvia, for a short, stocky guy he's real quick. He can easily man-handle Silvia into any part of the ring he wants bc he's super strong, take him down and sub him. The guy can pull submissions out of thin air, aka north and south choke on Hinkle. I think Silvia is to much of a 2d fighter, Monsons definately got the advantage of being a great all-rounder.

so who really cares if Monsoon wins.... so what hes just going to be a victum of brandon Vera.... lol...

u really think that? Monson is a rhino like Fujita...Vera is gonna have a handful.

Monson doesn't stand a chance.The size difference is tremendous.He's going to be eating jabs untill he can't eat jabs no more.Sylvia is going to win by KO.
