Ok, the results are up now. That's so great that GSP won! I knew he could do it! Too bad Sylvia didn't go down too. He's such a crappy fighter, the only thing he has going for him is his hight and reach, but what do you expect when you put a guy who's 5'9" up against someone that tall?

yup! Both fighters showed respect after the fight. GSP and Anderson Silva will be Champions for a long time.
Liddell over Tito Ortiz?
I hope Chuck Liddell knocks Tito Ortiz out. "The Iceman" throws stiff punches.
Plus, he has already beat him before. Liddell is unstoppable in the UFC. His biggest threats are in Pride.... and Rampage. Shogun, Lil Nog, Wanderlei.
I don't think he'd be in the UFC if he was such a "crappy" fighter as you say he is.:2 cents::dunno:
Give the man his props.
No, I stand by what I said. I used to kickbox, so I know exactly what I'm looking at with him, and like I said, all he has going for him is his hight. He's awkward, and flat footed when he throws punches, and when he throws kicks, he almost falls over. And that my two cents.
Sylvia does not suck, but he should not be a Champion for UFC. They need some talent in the HW division. If Fedor, CroCop, Barnett or Nog went to UFC, Sylvia would be gone.
I think Vera will beat Sylvia, and then fight Arlovski.
Actually, like I said before, yes he does. I've stated the reasons why. I know what I'm talking about because I know what I'm seeing when I watch him. He's obviously strong, as he has knock out power, but the only thing allowing him to deliver it, and to keep his opponents from knocking him out (so far), is his reach, it sure as hell isn't his technique. It's just that simple.
Like it or not, Sylvia does not suck. If he sucked, he wouldnt be 22-2, and the Champion for UFC. I dont like him, but fact is fact. Anyone fighting for UFC does not suck....
Whatever...
Tell me how a Champion in UFC sucks? Yes, he would lose to Pride's top HW's - but Sylvia does not suck!
I already have! Pay attention!
His technique sucks!!! Is that clear enough for you yet? He does as well as he does because of his hight, and his reach advantage which is huge. He is a shitty technical fighter, plain and simple. You may be a big fan of the sport, but you obviously have no fight training whatsoever, or you'd see exactly what I'm talking about.
you dont want to argue MMA with me, pal. NO ONE IN UFC SUCKS! I hate Sylvia, but to see he sucks is dumb.... he is a world champion... if he sucked (height or not), he would not be in UFC, 22-2, a Champion.
Also, CroCop is rumored to be on his way to UFC (please God, let this come true... i want to see CroCop destroy Sylvia)!
And also, Tito Ortiz will be on ESPN 2 tonight!
what?!?!?!
Saying Sylvia sucks, shows you obviously do not know MMA. It's quite simple.
I'm saying his stand up technique sucks, and saying it doesn't shows you obviously know nothing of the mechanics of fightnig. I don't doubt you know more about MMA than I do, from the spectator's standpoint. That's not the point here. I kickboxed for 4 years before I had to give it up because of health problems. Years longer than a lot of these guys before they have their first fight. I know what shitty technique looks like. The fact is, most of the fighters in the UFC have sloppy stand up. Even Chuck Liddell is sloppy with the way he holds his hands. However, he has a granite chin, and cinder blocks for hands, so that more than evens it out for him. This is why, when someone who actually has clean stand up, like Anderson Sylva comes along, he makes such short work of other fighters. Other good, clean stand up fighters that come to mind at the moment are Forrest Griffen, and Stefen Bonnar. Watch them, and see how they keep their hands high, are always up on their toes, and are circling their opponents, and working angles rather than moving straight forward and back. That's clean stand up, and good technical fighting.
And that's quite simple.
you must like K-1. If you like standup fighters, look no further than Arlovski, Aleks, CroCop, Georges St. Pierre, Wanderlei, Shogun etc...
do you like K-1 more than UFC?
