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.
I don't think he made a mistake, Silvia got a clean hit on the chin and he punches like a Mack truck.I doubt he will make the same mistakes he made last time.
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 hope Shamrock will KO Tito.
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.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.
lol, damn. i'm batting .500 at leastI also picked Arlovski and Shamrock so don't listen to me.
Well stated. I think many would agree with you about this. It seemed like Arlovski wanted stay on his feet to prove that he didn't have a weak chin. Oh well.I still think AA is the superior fighter to Sylvia in the sense that he could beat a greater number of quality opponents, but if he chooses to forgo his groundgame then he's chosen to handicap himself.
AA is very fast and I'll assume strong, he has subs, there's no reason he should have kept with the boxing alone past round three and why he did'nt go for a single leg when he had the clinch in round one is a mystery.
I think it's going to be When for sure. Monson is an animal.Stand n' Pray, Arlovski buying right into Sylvia's gameplan of a tighter defense with the protection of a longer reach, quit the legkicks too early, no shoots, boring to watch and futile choices by AA.
Sylvia's in for a far different fight with Monson, he'll have to connect better to stop the snowman from plowing him down. Sylvia likely won't be getting back up if/when Monson takes him down.
Did he forget that he trains with his brother who's 6'6" and a great boxer?you guys Seen Sylvia's post fight interview on Sherdog? according to him, Fedor is a little **** that has never faced a tall striker of Tim's quality.
On paper this card looked really good. I expected a lot more out of Neer/Burkeman fight too. I was for sure one of those guys was going to get hurt bad, but like the main event, it never materialized.What a waste of 40 bucks! I was so excited to see the 2 main events and they both blew. The only good fight was w/ Joe Stevenson, he really cut that dude open with his elbows.
That was a few years ago...and yes he has improved greatly since he has been in the Pride organization!Why all the hype on Silva? Didn't he get beaten by Ortiz and Belfort? perhaps he has improved....?
Much of the hype and excitement comes from the AGGRESSIVE style that Silva employs. In addition to that, he is definitely one of the top fighters in the world.Why all the hype on Silva? Didn't he get beaten by Ortiz and Belfort? perhaps he has improved....?
He lost to Belfort 7 years ago, and Tito 6 years ago. Belfort caught him with the Phenom fury and TKO'd him. Tito just layed n prayed for a decision. Wand was a kid then, and would beat both of those guys nowadays(most likely).let me start by saying I have very limited knowledge of what has occurred in MMA, and who the player's are, but:

Yeah, those fights were 6 and 8 years ago. And Silva whooped Rampage (twice); Rampage beat Chuck; Chuck beat Tito. So that 6 or 8 year old loss isn't a factor in 2006.let me start by saying I have very limited knowledge of what has occurred in MMA, and who the player's are, but:
