Love Him or Hate Him, Tim Sylvia Fights

Guys we have a great fight that we're not going to be able to see. There's a reason Tim Sylvia left the UFC and this is the reason. It's been confirmed by a tremendously reputable source, www.sherdog.com that this fight will take place July 19th.

Besides Matt Lindland, a 185 pounder, Fedor hasn't fought a credible opponent since Mirko Cro Cop about 3 years ago.

This actually might be a bad stylistic matchup for Fedor. He is the #1 ranked heavyweight and the most dangerous fighter in the world, but there could be some serious ring-rust to go along with Sylvia being able to strike and submit. Sylvia isn't a jiu-jitsu specialist but has ground skills for a big man.

So where does this leave Randy Couture? Did you see how quickly Sylvia got a fight with Fedor? It took a little over a week. Couture could have fought out his contract and then sought after Fedor, but Captian America ran the risk of possibly losing.

Honestly guys, Randy Couture is losing respect by the day, especially by blaming the company that made him rich for them not landing his superfight. I'm not ecstatic by the way Dana White is running things but this is one of the few times I'm on the UFC's side.

Needless to say, this fight is gonna be better than Couture-Emelianenko would ever be. I'll eat those words when this fight happens because we're not gonna be able to watch it. Maybe something will happen with the cable networks before July but get ready to watch this fight on you tube.

It also goes to show that while MMA is mainstream, there's still a ton of fighters out there that we might never get to see.
