Wilson is a very good stand up fighter, i never seen Steve Bruno, but after his fight against Fitch i´m predict Chris via (T)KO in the second

BW: Thats all I know. It was a cut n paste job I thought might be woth passing along. If this is true, I aint mad at Big Tim. It would take him like 3 UFC Wins to make that kind of money! You Go BOY! lol

Regardless weather or not I think Tim stands a chance….I am Very Excited (In my Borat Voice) for this fight. DREAM fight writtena all over it and should shut some of the sensless haters up. (Not talking about you though). Matt lindland is also already said to have signed on to fight on this card. No idea who his opponent is yet, but If some of the rumors are true…This card might be the card of the summer. If Fedor fights, you know his brother Aleks is fighting too. They talked about matching him up with Barnett, but Monte Cox has Rothwell signed so Rothwell vs. Aleks could always be an option (not a bad 1 either).

Fingers crossed this isnt another Finklestein job like you said!

id say your probably right. if tim does win randy will be left out in the cold. i dont see how they can affford to pay this much either w/out ppv revenue.

People like to get on Jon Fitch for grinding out decision. That is not the case. Fitch WANTS to finish his fights. In his 8 UFC fights (all wins) 4 were decisions, and 4 of them were ended early. His best fights in the UFC were actually part of the prelims of UFN’s – they where showing Fitch no love.

His second UFC fight was against Josh Burkman, and this is back when people thought that Burkman was good, and it was before Burkman vs Karo. If you want to watch a SERIOUS beatdown, look up Fitch / Burkman. He straight up looked like an alien by the end of the fight. he had grapefruit size lumps all up on his face, and his skin wasn’t even the correct color. (Burkman took Karo to a decision)

When people talk about the WW division, besides the champ, who is the hottest name out there? Most likely Thiago Alvez. Well, Fitch already beat him, and beat him down. Ending the fight via TKO in the 2nd.

Right on Arnold. Wilson’s takedown defense was the most impressive part of his fight with Fitch. His striking looked pretty good. Also, he did a good job, when Fitch finally got the fight to the ground, of controlling Fitch’s posture and minimizing damage. Maybe we’ll see some good things from Wilson in the future.

and no one will see the fight live on tv, and this is why this org. will fail. you can’t pay out more than you’re worth! good for Tim, but too bad for Randy. After tim beats fedor, the fedor/ randy fight loses relevance

damn! that is impressive! but are the contracts signed for real. you know how finklestein and the boys can be. with this kinda of money being posted it leads me to beleive that it is really gonna happen. the ufc had better re-sign a.a quick and sign him to fight nog. i can see why sylvia left the ufc now. i think sylvia will give fedor a better fight than you do, but i cant wait to see this one. hopefully it is on ppv not just hd-net cuz i wanna see this live. i would pay to see this fight alone!

Wilson has the potential to be a quality fighter in the UFC…great to see he will be back
