He needs a beating by Fedor…period…however I think Andrei is pissed off enough now to beat him.

I can’t wait til randy pounds the crap outta him

FOUR MORE YEARS! Lord help us– MIRKO HELP US. That’s like being stuck with Bush — look how that crap turned out.

AARRRRLLLOOVVVSSKKKIIII!!!!!

maybe cro cop did look a little out of shape but how can tim sylvia speak on that? his physique is not that tight. plus his performance was due to sanchez running like a scared dog, i mean what are you supposed to due run after a coward like that?
besides he’ll never make it another 3 fights with that belt. im giving him the benefit of the doubt with randy, but arlovski and cro cop? he wont beat either of them.

did vera really turn down a title shot? cause i was hoping to see that fight, especially after vera bloodied mir who we all know broke tims arm.

Why would Gabriel Gonzaga turn down an offer to fight for the title, then agree to fight Cro Cop instead? He would not win either fight, so why not fight the Champ just in case he gets lucky and lands a solid punch, knocking him out for the belt.

im sure vera did turn down the shot..the dude came in saying that he was gonna hold both the heavy and light heavy belts, and now its either more money, or he will walk to a worse mma league…thats not a true fighter, and the fact that he beat mir and mir broke sylvias arm is irrelevant, they fought two different frank mirs..But im with Lou, the Gonzaga thing doesnt make sense, unless he sees something that we dont

Jesse-

I’m pretty positive that the answer to your question is not that cut and dry. Vera has one fight remaining on his UFC contract. So, the UFC probably offered him the fight contingent on him renewing a deal. As we all know, UFC isn’t going to pay him like EliteXC. So, he probably turned down the fight because the money wasn’t right and he had to renew his contract.

Keep in mind, this is all speculation. But, the UFC would not let a contender fight for a title with only one fight remaining on a contract for obvious reasons.

Vera in the UFC long-term doesn’t seem likely based on recent reports.

Sylvia thinks Cro cop is vulnerable??? He should come into the cage wearing leg pads. Sylvia has not faced near the talent Mirko has and I don’t see how timmy can consider himself the best when he has never faced great heavyweight competition. Crocop tko or ko in round 2.

Wow, vurnerability. What’s that? “I think I’ll also run in circles like Sanchez and have Crocop dizzied.”

Tim Sylvia will beat Couture like a rented mule. Everybody forgets that the reason Couture moved down to LHW was because of big talk rangy fighters like Syliva and McGee. As for Arlovski, PFFT! The guy has had two chances to regain his title and he fizzled, I’m tired of hearing about him. I looked for Cro Cop to come out guns blazing in his fight against Sanchez and to make a statement against Sanchez and what I saw didn’t really meet my expectations. I think Sylvia, with his height and reach advantage, will give Cro Cop all he can handle, its not going to be the walk in the park that everyone expects.

I agree that sylvia hasen’t faced someone like crocop however I also agree that arlovski will beat Tim now. I think Andrei got a little slack with his lifestyle around the time that tim beat him……a focused Arlovski will not be beaten except maybe by Mirko which would be a really great fight. In my opinion Arlovski should be the gatekeeper to the title…

I am the real Jesse.

Who is this imposter?!?

Timmy is shite and he knows it and if he dosen’t then their is something wrong way him. His exciting fights that i’v seen are the one’s where he gets knock down or a limb of his gets broken. ”The best” i piss on that comment. Timmy should wake up and smell his own belt strap and see what is in other promotions.

OK…there are facts and there is fiction…

FACT: CRO COP will be the heavy wight champion

FICTION: Tim sylvia is the best

FACT: Couture’s chances are slim, but not impossible

FICTION: Tim see’s vurnarability in Mirkos game.

FACT: Tim is a goofy f#$k.

FICTION: Tim will retire with the heavy weight belt.

FACT: the only reason the belt is around Tim’s waist is because the heavy weight division has been week for a long time.

FICTION: Tim can go to pride today and dominate every one.

…any one else on Tim’s nutts?

arlovski had his chance and lost twice

as long as tim fights like a puss trying not to lose hes really pretty tough…

fact is almost anyone can win any fight.

think tim cant throw the same left randleman threw to knock crocop the f$#* out?

that being said who cares about the maine-iac?

as long as vera is being greedy the UFC should just let us watch arlovski vs crocrop twice in a row and a rubbermatch if they split the two. raise your hand if you wouldnt watch all three!

Tim are you serious the best HA HA HA HA!!!!! granted all the talk about arlovski but did anyone see the Monsoon fight? give that a second look he showed that his reach don’t mean a thing when a 5′10″ smokes you in the mouth I feel real bad for Jeff who I feel had a resonible shot at beating Tim. I would like to see a Monsoon Vs. Cro Cop fight versus Gonzaga Cro Cop. Atleast then it would be worth something and Why is the UFC putting Gonzaga in there anyway do we really need to feed Cro Cop another guy who will run for him I say Give him the Pitbull if he Wins fine that fight will draw money at 350,000 a fight atleast Dana will get Cro Cops salary out of that one. Randy is the underdog but lets be real if he wins everyone will say I knew The Natural could do it!! watch if he wins and re-check this post there will be a hundred people on Cotoures nutz. Vera is an Idiot how are you going to go to a minor league for more money. Ha Ha Ha go ahead Truth and see how long your sponsors take care of you when no one sees or cares to see you fight. Mr. Murda said it perfect the HW division has been WEAK!!!! hell at this rate bring back Pedro Rizzo and Dan Severn !!! everyone in the hall of hame has come back eventually lets see Monsoon Vs. Dan Severn winner gets Brad Imes or Aseouro Silva honestly the UFC Fight makers are getting real weak lately!

The UFC has been putting some sad fights out! Soon enough were going to see some Triple threats. Arlovski vs Cro Cop vs Tim!

This from a guy who has confirmed that he crapped his pants during Assuerio Silva fight. TIM “THE SHITS” SILVIA WILL GET HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM BY MIRKO!

Tim Sylvia knows he isn’t the best, but saying that when you have the belt doesn’t make sense. Plus, he knows that people are pissed he has the belt so he’s just playing the crowd.

Also, I’d like to be the one millionth person to agree that both arlovski and cro cop are going to destroy him. Cro cop is going to demolish Tim’s legs until he has nothing to plant on when he throws those rangy punches. I cant wait to see those legs turn purple.

Taporsnap…i totaly agree, every one is talking shit about randy, but if he wins, those same people will change there log on name and write about how they knew the natural was gunna kick ass.

Tim sylvia thinks about Cro Cop and Arlovski and cries himself to sleep evey night…

…if there ever is a match between Tim and Mirko, Tim is gunna grow a beard and go into hiding in the mountains and take his belt with him.

I saw some older fights when Randy was a heavyweight and he was kind of slow. Tim should win this fight pretty easy, but this is the ufc and you never know.

Randy has little or no chance against Poopie. I will not be changing my login if a Randlemaneque left KOs Tim; he will have gotten lucky.
You guys give AA WAY TOO MUCH credit. When he beats somebody, let me know. That was a kick ass timed punch against Cruz though.
And to Tim Sylvia, I “saw something” when Mirko fought Sanchez, too. It was the future HW champ warming up to kill you.

Funny Tim should say he saw something vulnerable in Mirko’s game. I hyped Cro cops arrival to the ufc to a couple of UFC-only fans/friends of mine, and they both thought Mirko looked “sloppy”. But, apparently he was sedated and almost cancelled the fight, so maybe Tim did see something. But with a guy like Mirko a big shiny open chin, could be a way to draw out a pridictable shot, then bam! And as for Arlovsky, I could live my whole life never seeing another fight with him and Tim. ANything can happen in a fight, maybe Tim got lucky, but he beat Arlovsky twice, and when he did lose it was via achillies lock, come on, he was obviously just scared to break something because of his Mir fight. Did you see how happy looking Arlovsky was after that win? To me he looked surprised he won. Here in Canada, Tim is a hero, he helps control the Bear population, so no kids get mauled! Well, maybe not. Come to think of it, would you pease keep your crap in your own country, I heard Cleveland has a thing for poopie pants.

UFCmaniac

If you won the belt would you not jump for joy. Have you ever felt an a achillies lock, maybe you have but not from someone with Arlovski’s strength. Timmy likes to talk smack and he says the same line all the time ”when he gets in the ring with me i’m going to let him know he’s in a fight” its not even his line. Stay tuned and watch Timmy advertise a fast food chain when his belt is taking from him.

Again, Crocop is the only one here that has been tested by true talent. I’m sorry but Arlovski hasn’t fought anyone other than Sylvia(lost twice) to justify being a good heavyweight. Look at Arlovski and Sylvia’s past fights, then look at Mirko’s…..big difference.

Just to clear things up, although I think most of you read it already somewhere: Mirko’s flight was 2-3 days before the fight, he had to attend a parlamential meeting. Also his leg was in a very bad shape and his doctor advised him to call off the fight before he punctured the leg (not sure if this is a good translation). So if Timmy saw something, then it was CroCop beating the crap out of Eddie on 50% of his capabilities.

I for one would like to see a Arlovski fight vs. Cro Cop rather than Timmy being in a massacre with Mirko. Just my 2 cents.

Signing Fedor to a UFC contract for LIFE would basically seal this discussion….

Unless the ufc does away with the 265 lbs on the HW division Fedor can’t fight in the UFC… For Fedor the UFC might open a superheavy weight, or get rid of the weight limit, but unless they go after Fedor with some options he can’t fight in the UFC. I don’t think it’s possible for him to make weight at 265 max…

haha what fedor is way smaller than 265

Huh??? Fedor is 6′ and weighs 225-230lbs while carrying a little “extra”. Honestly, Fedor could drop a little and easily dominate the light heavyweight class…

Thanks Dude and Matt for clearing that up before I saw it. TRavis, WTF were you thinking or posting? Gotta get your facts straight bro when you post here, this aint Sherdog.
Fedor is one of the smallest HWs out there. It just doesnt matter.

all you guys are haters sylvian is a fucking stud

“I’m not trying to knock you out, I just know I will.”

Chuck Liddell

yeah travis how much does fedor weigh again? thats too funny i wish you would’ve said how much you thought he weighed, awww what a good laugh

have you ever heard of fedor or cro cop, sylvia? what do you think you’re the best at anyway? looking like a retard in the ring?

Boy that will put your foot in your mouth. Randy beat down Tim every round. Oh did you see Tim crying afterwards saying he had an injury. Boo hoo. Good by Tim and Good Riddens. The heavyweight division will be better without him. Now Cro Crop can really shake things up. Well at least until Fedor comes. I also believe Arlovski will have a comeback of some success.

Cant the UFC release him so we dont have to see him again?

Only in our dreams john. It probably was a bad thing that couture won because if he didn’t then cro cop would have had a crack at him. And if they would have fought then sylvia’s orbital bone would have broke and he probably would’ve sustained a concussion because it’s tim sylvia and then he would release himself because he would be afraid of mirko.

tim sylvia is a joke and it was just like him to say right after the fight huhhhh.. i had an injury the way randy couture fought against him was incrediable if randy fights like that on every fight i beleive he could beat cro cop and fedor… and that was tim sylvias last contract fight after his remarks i heard the ufc probably is not going to renew his contract and i know tim wont fight for pride hes very scared to go over there nick diaz tested positive for weed what a joke ps get better chuck lidell…

he should return….

i would love to see him vs cro cop, man i just want Timo to eat all that trash talk he has been doing
