Lightbulb Who Will Win the Rematch: Sylvia vs. Arlovski
UFC 61: what do you think? Based on my limited knowledge, I think Arlovski will take it, as long as he can defend his chin. I don't know if he really does have a weak chin, but it looks like it based on Sylvia vs. Arlovski II.

Arlovski is the better fighter and I think he will knock Silvia out this time.

Yeah, Arlovski is great to watch. UFC Unleashed just played his fights against Cabbage and Paul Buentello. Unbelievable hand speed and accuracy.

In their last match Arlovski rocked Silvia and put him on the ground. Silvia was able to keep Arlovski at bay and then it went down hill

although there is no definite answer I don't think arlovski is going to lose again. I doubt he will make the same mistakes he made last time.

I don't think he made a mistake, Silvia got a clean hit on the chin and he punches like a Mack truck.

Arlovski should take the fight to the ground. His ground abilities are much higher than Silva, so in my mind standing to trade is not ideal.
 


size is a fictitious character.

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

Arlovski will make Sylvia look bad. I hope. Shamrock will KO Tito.

I watched the fight between the two again last night and Shamrock took a beating but that Mother F-er never gave up, he just kept coming back for more. I hope he kills Tito but most liely he won't, he is pushing 40. It would also cause fight #3 if Shamrock wins.

I'm not a big Sylvia fan, but he is much more skilled/athletic than he looks. You're talking about a guy that is 6'7 or 6'8 that has been known to throw hi kicks to the heads of his opponents...That being said, I hope AA takes the belt back. I really enjoyed watching him make his way to the top and wouldn't mind seeing him there for a little while longer.

It was a poor fight. Both looked bad but Arlovski looked worse considering all the hype he was getting.

Arlovski was so concerned about protecting his weak chin, he couldn't commit to any decent offense.

And Monson won't take Sylvia down, he's a blown up LHW and Sylvia will stuff his shoots and make him pay.

very boring fight... both fighters were playing it way too safe the whole fight. andrei looked good with his punches protecting his chin during the first few rounds, but he never commited to anything. I wish Andrei would have won, but in my eyes, neither fighter won, both were piss poor performances. I havent watched the fights after the sylvia fight, but I dont think Monson will have a chance against Sylvia. If the Iceman gets past Babalu, then I dont think he stands a chance agains the Axe Murderer in November...Rampage Jackson stuck it to Liddell before, and Jackson cant pull a win over Wanderlei...good to see him fighting in UFC, but I dont think there is any competition for him.

MMAth does not work. That said, I'll be rooting for the axe murderer, and I think he will win. I also picked Arlovski and Shamrock so don't listen to me.

Arlovski did take a coupla shots to his chin and from what I saw, it DID affect him. I think the world has his # now and wil be hard for him in the near future.

on sherdog.com sylvia was interviewed after the fight and they asked him what he thought of him matching up with Fedor...he said that he thinks he can take him... i laughed so hard. I only wish Fedor would come and take Tim's title..it'd be like taking candy from a baby.
