Fedor vs Sylvia for July 19th

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news.asp?n_id=12220

Sounds to me like Sylvia wants a payday. Fedor is a HORRIBLE matchup for him.

[Ravens1991]

Fedor is a horrible match for anybody on the face of this earth, I got Fedor ending it early either by GnP or Submission. I cant wait to see Fedor fighting a real opponent. And thank god it isnt against Kimbo.

[UKfan]

and it's going to be on Cuban's MMA organization, interesting.

[Ravens1991]

I think that will hurt MMA, all those seperate leagues it may end up like boxing, a new fan will look at EliteXC and think Kimbo is a god when true MMA fans know that he wont last 45 seconds against Fedor.

[UKfan]

Obv in an ideal world it would be in the UFC but that's not going to happen, if another organisation pops up and really makes an impact, be it Dream, HDNet, Elite XC or whoever else, then ultimately it would be good for the sport. But there really needs to be another org the size of the UFC for competition to thrive like in the days of UFC and PRIDE.

[MaxV]

Unfortunately, Fedor just doesn't like Dana White. He doesn't really want to work for him.

It probably would take a HUGE figure for them to agree on a contract.

How is it good for the sport?

[cordscords]

Really looking forward to Fedor-Sylvia. I think it will be a good test for Fedor, but I have him winning this one.

[UKfan]

I mean if another organisation reaches the same size as UFC and can really compete, then of course it will be good for the sport. Competition for ratings will mean organisations having to fill their cards with the best guys and putting out a more quality product.

I agree with you that having all the guys on smaller shows will hurt but if one of these shows can grow to become a serious rival to UFC, like PRIDE was, then that's great.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.

Rampage is the favorite, but Griffin is no pushover.

It wouldn't surprise me if Griffin pulls off an upset.

i think rampage has a better stand up then forrest does, but forrest is a much better wrestler then jackson is. I can see rampage dropping a couple good bombs though, but i think if forrest gets him on the ground then an upset could be in the making

[A Perfect Score]

did anyone else just see that INSANE knockout on The Ultimate Fighter? that firepatch just dropped that dude, they had to take him away in an ambulance. That was insane

Have you seen Rampage's wrestling skills?

I think Ramage's wrestling is actually a little better than his boxing, but my bet against Forrest is that he just uses it to stay standing because he knows he has a huge advantage standing up

[Ravens1991]

God I would not want to be Serra tonight. If Serra wins a decision I think Montreal would be no more.

[UKfan]

GSP has to win, he has to, it was illogical the first time he lost, even with the circumstances, but if he loses now he is interim champ and focused, I can't even think about it.

[Eaglez.Fan]

when is the main event scheduled to start at?

+rep

[Wootylicous]

Wow as I'm writing this one Danzig is dominatinggggg Koschek. What a great knee by Danzig :O

[MetSox17]

Ah how i wish i had money to buy the fight.

I hope Matt Serra gets knocked on his ass

[fenikz]

i need a link to the PPV for free online, anyone got one?

edit: nevermind found one


Bisping looks a lot better at MW than at LHW, i'm sure UFC is happy about that, give him a couple mores wins and I'm sure he will fight Silva

[Ravens1991]

god I despise Bisping with a passion, I cant wait to see Silva tourture Bisping w/ out mercy. Heck send Bisping up against Hammil again then we can laugh at that scum for running his mouth when Hammil beats him.

Kick Kalib Starnes out of the UFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wootylicous]

wow......! GSP WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[jayceheathman]

They stopped that fight way too early. There was only like 10 seconds left in the round and its not like GSP was jacking him in the face. They were just knees to the side. I have seen harder hits than that before that didnt get the match called.
