Sylvia vs Couture

**Doublebase** · 02-28-2007, 06:23 PM

This Saturday. Sylvia is 30 and Couture is 43. What do you think?

**ponyboy** · 02-28-2007, 06:26 PM

You're also forgetting about the weight, height and reach differences. On paper Sylvia should totally destroy him but I think Couture will last at least a round. And if he can get Sylvia on the ground somehow he's got a good shot.

**Doublebase** · 02-28-2007, 06:31 PM

I didnt' need to list their stats. Its obvious Slyvia is a lot taller and heavier.

**Goodfella9783** · 02-28-2007, 07:06 PM

Sylvia via KO.

**BigDyl** · 02-28-2007, 08:07 PM

Sylvia via decision.

**fufu** · 02-28-2007, 08:09 PM

sigh.

I think Sylvia has the better chance, but I want Randy to pull through.

**tucker01** · 02-28-2007, 08:10 PM

Another stupid match.

Retarded matches like this should not be on PPV. It is a disgrace and a rip off.

No one wins no matter what the outcome.

**nsr54** · 02-28-2007, 08:16 PM

My sympathy will seriously go out to Couture, hopefully this just doesnt ruin his image as a hall of fame fighter. Hes pulling a michael jordan type comeback, or what he'd like to think would be a comeback.

Sylvia 1st round knock out, no way in hell will couture even bring him down.

**fufu** · 02-28-2007, 08:36 PM

Couture - flying knee to chin straight to rear naked chode in one movement.

**BoneCrusher** · 03-01-2007, 12:41 AM

I'm with Iain ... this match blows chunks. It'll be something like this ...

This fight is way more interesting than Couture/Silvia will be.

Try 6'8".

I'm really pulling for Randy, he's one of my all time favorites, but he really doesn't stand a chance.

i was accounting for the diff from the top of his head to his chin.

It's tough to sense sarcasm on the computer.

It truely is...(is that how you spell true+ly?) and thanks for noticing. You should see the arguments on other forums and "Warnings" given out because of sarcasm being the missing excuse.

As far as the fights go, I am with everyone on the prediction of the Sylvia fight. Ive got low expectations, but all that means is that if Couture wins, it would be a HUGE surprise, thus very enjoyable.

Hughes fights some guy named Lytle...? Is this guy a loser from TUF? Hughes AND Franklin's competition, do they pose any threat?

McDonald is probably more of a threat to Franklin than Lytle is to Hughes. McDonald is so athletic for his size and could easily handle Franklin on the ground. He better have worked his standup though because last time I remember it being not too great. I still crack up thinking about when Rogan called him "Ronald McDonald" by mistake.

I wonder what the odds are against Couture?

**Doublebase** · 03-01-2007, 10:32 AM

MacDonald beat Herman and I believe, Leban. Great fights too. Who else has he fought?

Battle of the redheads I guess. I think those were his only 2 in the UFC so far. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

I want sylvia to win so I can see his big goofy ass get knocked out by cro cop

Yeah watching Cro Cop knock out Alexander Emelianenko with a head kick was cool ... he's 6'5". We already know if Cro Cop gets that kick in Dork Boy is gonna drop ...

... can't wait to see that fight.

**Goodfella9783** · 03-01-2007, 10:53 AM

I know I'm going to sound crazy for this. But I think Sylvia/Cro Cop would be a good matchup. Sylvia is underestimated IMO.

You're right he is under rated but only because he's improved as he's been the champ. He's trained hard and stepped up to fit the belt. He is still not a genetically talented fighter though IMHO. He wasn't gifted with the athleticism of someone like GSP. The guy is strong as hell and long armed. That and a weak chined lined up at the UFC heavy weight ranks has him where he is ... for another minute or two. He's gotta hate knowing someone like Cro Cop is coming for him ...

**nsr54** · 03-01-2007, 07:45 PM

Ive never seen a guy like Cro Cop.....he seem so comfortable. Most of the guys ive watched fight in their first UFC fight you can tell their nervous. I dont exactly think he'll handle sylvia but if he has the stamina to go a couple rounds with Sylvia then he'll drop him eventually.

**hbmn** · 03-02-2007, 06:31 AM

Cro Kop is solid and he gets better with each fight. He can be put down - that guy Randleman(?) gave him no space and knocked him down, but in their rematch Cro Kop had his gameplan down and beat his ass. His ability to learn is amazing. Also, who else is that chilled on their debut in ufc? Sylvia could stand with him for a while, but would sooner or later get put to sleep.

As for Couture and Sylvia fight - I hope Couture can land some heavy shots early on and rattle Sylvia into his defensive mindset. Thats probably the only way he will last. If Sylvia doesn't back off, Randy can't go for very long. Having said that I would love Couture to bang him out and end his career on a high.

McDonald isn't a great fighter. He is athletic, but he doesn't have the agression to go to the top in ufc. Good luck to him though.
