For an example of what a good camp can do for a fighter, AA just needs to look at his last two fights. Sylvia is a lumbaring, awkward giant. But Miletich has somehow made him into something way more than he ever could have, or should have been. Props to MFS.[/quote]
Yes, very true I agree.

Well according to the master of punishment Chris Leben, all the pussy fighters reside in Japan. You know the guys who couldn’t make it in the grandest land of all the U S of A.
Syliva is on a role, he is the most athletically built man ever, his athleticism is something of a marvel, nevermind him testing positive for steroids, he wanted to look even more superhumanly athletic.
He is right, Fedor is only 6’ and Syliva is a mighty 6’8" and ask TUF guys like Brad Imes, Dan Christianson, by being ridiculously tall it automatically makes you superhuman.
Fedor can’t fight because he doesn’t have a human soul…yeah right.
Fedor has fought some big dudes, it wasn’t much for him. Syliva’s heavy weight matches have mostly been a joke. I mean what is Cabbage Cabrera going to do besides take a “punch really well” simply because the structure of his head allows him to be punched several times while retaining conciousness.
Not sure what Arlovski was thinking there were many points he could have capitalized on that, and if he took Tim to the ground it would have been over.
Tim also said “beat Arlovski’s ass for 25 minutes, I would like to think I earned my respect.”

Get me some of that stuff your smoking man.
any of those fights without a QUICk ref stoppage could potentially end Sylvia’s career…
Le Banner would just EMBARASS him.
I would love to see Sylvia versus Crocop. It would be leading a heifer to the slaughter.
Imagine Crocop’s kicks to Sylvia’s knees, thighs, torso,… Crocop’s counterpunching to Sylvia’s lumbering, Frankenstein-like jabs.
1st round KO/TKO guaranteed
You really want to see the difference between UFC and the ‘elite’ mma fighters. Watch the fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Leban(sp?). Silva is a mid level pride fighter, yet he beat Leban so easily it wasn’t even funny.
Maybe Leben could gain a few pounds and fight Sylvia - Ha ha ha ha
or
Maybe UFC should start HW class at 185. I’m sure some of the LHW could anyone in the HW division
The heavyweight division is a joke in the UFC… I honestly don’t even really know any fighters other then tim sylvia or AA in the ufc lol… the UFC should start handing out some more money to lure better fighters for the UFC HW division.

How dare you talk that blasphemy! Chris Leben was on a television show and portrayed as a fluroescent haired rebel. He is the demon of punishment, whereas Diego Sanchez has the all-mighty lord on his side, as he reminds us after every bloody battle, Chris Leben has the fierey rage of Satan chanting him forward.
Leben simply lost to Silva because Leben loves being punished so badly, he wanted to punish himself, just this once though.
It would be really nice to see some of Crocop’s kicks on Syliva’s legs. What are PrideFC’s chances of having a big market in the states?
To those who were wondering why Arlovski never bothered to take down ot continue with the leg kicks (much like i did at the time), he blew out his knee in the first round.
So there I am minding my onwn business on YouTube watching Tito in the post fight interview, when who comes hobbling past him but Tim Silvia. And I mean HOBBLING. His left leg had been punished.
Note to Andre Arlovski: If it ain’t broke, break it.
More confirmation that what he was doing in the beginning was working. Any more punishment to that leg and…who knows?

I don’t buy it. He wouldn’t have been still been shuffling around the ring like a retarded lost puppy if he knee was blew out.
