Tim Sylvia not a fan of Fedor Emelianenko

Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia weighed his opinion on the current situation on Fedor Emelianenko. He believes that Fedor is not fighting the toughest opponents and has a good point given Fedor's recent history. It was against a 7'2 man with not many credentials in the MMA world. This fight had a special rule implemented which did not permit leg kicks so neither fighter had an unfair advantage. Needless to say Fedor won by submission. Sylvia went on to say Fedor is being a 'p***y'.
Fedor has stated that he plans to fight current UFC heavyweight champion and holdout Randy Couture. He's optimistic that the fight will take place at some point in 2008. I wouldn't hold my breath and neither is Tim Sylvia, who in the meantime, will be fighting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the interim heavyweight title at UFC 81.
