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 ... :lol:

Why does everyone think Sylvia is strong as hell? There is no way he is stronger in any exersize than Cro Cop. I doubt he could squat his bodyweight with those twig legs.

This is true, but most of the time, those guys with the long lanky limbs generate a lot more striking power than the short stocky guys. Obviously Tim's kicks aren't even in the same solar system as Cro-cops but I guarantee you Tim's punches are a lot harder than Cro-cop's. If Tim hits him even near his button, it's lights out Cro-cop.
 
Cro Cop has a better chin than that. Hunt strikes with way more force than Tim, and Cro Cop took a ton of his shots.


Cro Cop has a good chin and the randleman fight was a fluke.


Cro Cop has the reach advantage with his legs.
 
How do you just throw Randy in the title match after being in retirement!!!! Ridiculous! Oh well go Randy, but Tim will probably win.

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.

Well, when you know that your going to win it isn't exactly nerveracking

You would think so, but like I said, those long lanky guys are deceptively strong strikers. I'm willing to bet it's the angle that the punches are coming from. Tim's reach is so long, more often than not he can punch right down the pike (Anderson Silva is a good example of this) which means there is probably more force behind the punch. I don't doubt the fact that Hunt is probably stronger than Tim, but Tim has a much higher chance of landing "that perfect shot" than Hunt does.
 
He has an awsome record: 14-8! :hmmm:
 
Anyone by chance see that Pride show on FSN it must be from January but I just saw it today, where they completely ripped on the UFC. It was the Silva/Chonan match, trigg and the other commentator were talking about who Silva is the best the UFC has and Chonan was a so-so fighter and then Chonan won, gave me a laugh.
 
Randy won. :)
 
All I have to say is holy shit, pure pwnage, then Tim blames it on a injury
 
I hope Tim leaves after his contract is over.

you guys where right. Ripoff.

Ripoff? Why?

I thought Hughes didnt do as well as I thought. I didnt think it would go to decision..
I thought MacDonald held his ground at certain times, strong chin, but he was dominated.

Sobral got fucking rocked..!

And the other fight...I forget the kids name. It was the submission of the night. That might had been my favorite.

Then again...couture/sylvia was 25 min of interest. You gotta take that into account.

Alright. I am a hugen fan of UFC. And I saved up from work for about 4 weeks to watch this. and I could of went to my highschool and watched some wresting instead. The whole 68 was mainly wrestling. i mean the one kid who got a submission was good, but the rest was pretty bad. the first fight had a few good strikes but thats also about it.

Shoulda went to hooters or BWW and saved the money
 
Babaloo earned me some money taking that punch, definitely not top ten in the lhw
 
Franklin dropped some bombs on MacDonald.

Kampmann putting McFedries to sleep was awesome. Looked like he wouldn't let go right away when it was stopped, I think he was pissed about the shots he was taking.

What can you say about Couture. It's about time someone came inside on Sylvia. Though it was over after the first shot.

Babalu has had a terrible gameplan in the last 2 fights. What's his deal?

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.

I kinda dont like Franklin.

Did he have a black eye coming into the fight? I was waiting for Rogan to say something about it.


Oh yeah, Rogan made me laugh during the 1st round of the Couture fight. He was talking about how Sylvia was pissed that they werent being stood up and Rogan said "figure a way out! this is grappling, I dont care if its boring. baseball is a million times more boring and its longer!"

:funny: Hes right.

ill kick myself in the ass for that statement. but seriously can one person HONESTLY say that they would of thought that couture was going to come out with a win? Sure the voting online was 70% couture but probably about 69% of them are just hardcore fans & in the back of their head thought this could of been ugly. I was never a big fan of either of couture or sylvia. Mad props to couture, getting inside on him and not just trying to dive at his legs from 5 feet out. The sweeping leg got Sylvia 3 or 4 times.

I really thought that Couture was going to end it after that first punch. Oh yeah thats some shit on Sylvia's end to blame it on an injury, ironic you didnt hear shit about it pre-fight or for the past weeks.
 
I thought this thread was about girls.......damn these men have such girly names.

I thought that voting chart online was a joke. Everyone I spoke to thought for sure he was going to lose.
