Actually the UFC should try to get Alexsandr too (I'm sure their trying). He's a great striker and capable grappler. If Couture is coming back as a heavy weight things will get very interesting. Don't know if he'll do well against Arlovski and Cro-cop. Guarantee he'll give one heck of a fight to anyone.

When guys are starting to be 6'5"-6'10", cutting weight to make the [265lb] limit — that's a big man...he's a very good fighter, very skilled and when you start giving up that kind of weight, you are at a disadvantage and it can be a big problem. No one has seriously approached me with an opportunity to fight Tim Sylvia, so it's all one in the same, rumors.  [...] [...] Couture has recently gone on record as saying that Sylvia has been fighting “not to lose” and that guys like Sylvia is one of the reasons he cut down to 205.Here’s a snip from Couture just a few weeks ago on a rumored fight with Sylvia: I am walking around now at 230lbs, back to my heavyweight days, and can certainly go back and compete in that division, but Tim’s one of the reasons why I chose to go down to light-heavyweight.

Everyone except shamrock knew that tito would win but at least they paid back the fans with the rematch on spike. Silvia and Arlovskis fight was the most boring fight iv seen in the UFC. The fights before that were better. I wasted money onthat 5 round boring fight in the UFC rivals ppv and it was a waste of money.

Plus, what kinda poser wears his belt in public?? If the Cro Cop rumors are true about him comin to the UFC then Cro Cop would kill Sylvia and run UFC for a very long time.
