Yeah, that was brutal.
I was pleased that the quickness of the fight left no room for the Fedor naysayers, but at the same time it was very anticlimatic and on the entertainment level I felt let down. Thankfully, this card was full of great fights that I felt I got my $$$s worth.
I have to admit, I kind of felt embarrassed / sad for Tim, despite all the smack he has been talking about Fedor over the years, I think even he was surprised and ashamed just how quickly Fedor dispatched him. I think Tim was not honestly expecting to win, but to show he could hang in there with the best in the world, and show he was still relevant in a sport he loves. Unfortunately for Tim, he talked a lot of smack, and he picked the worst person he could have to try and demonstrate his relevance.
I really would have liked to see Tim Sylvia vs. Arlovski.
I want to see Fedor vs Couture, Fedor vs Barnett, but honestly I think he will defeat both.
BTW- Does anyone know if Sylvia is really 6'8"? He did not look THAT much taller than Fedor (6'0") out there, I feel like one of them is not the height they claim.
