I can't even believe he earned a 29-27 round from one of the judges. All he did was push Vera against the fence. Gone are the days of Tim kicking or punching the crap out of people. I am not saying that Vera won the fight but you can't really tell me Sylvia did anything and that you actually enjoyed watching that crap. I would much rather pay to see Randy defend the heavyweight belt then Tim do nothing for three rounds. What a joke! If the UFC is backing Tim and that kind of fighting style, no wonder they have to run commercials during a pay-per-view event. No one will watch that crap. Kudos to Spider...Franklin needs to hang up the gloves. I will never pay to see another Tim Sylvia fight again. I can’t even believe he earned a 29-27 round from one of the judges.

I have been thinking more and more that Rich is going to win. After seeing how seriously he has taken his training, I am going to say Rich is going to win. Being that ripped and weighing the same , means more strength and less dead weight (fat) slowing you down.It take a great deal of desire to get that ripped ,so Rich must be very, very hungry for redemption. I'm not much of a fan of Rich's ,but I see him winning.[/quote] I've been thinking that Rich needs to spend less time on weight machines and work more with free weights. I'm no expert, bu isn't free weight training is more beneficial for MMA than using machines? [quote comment=”184605″]
