|  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  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

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

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.

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.
