AfflictionWorld renowned MMA clothing company, Affliction, reached into their pockets and pulled together an organization of top fighters, marketed & publicized by Affliction Entertainment VP, Tom Atencio. This organization, unlike their competition, is open to cross-promotion.
I'm tired of seeing all these NEW, useless threads being posted on this fight. YES, we are aware that said fight is happening. I know the Fedor marks want to get their voices heard, as do all 12 Sylvia fans. If you wanna discuss it to a lengthy extent or just a little bit....either way, this is YOUR thread. Hype, breaking news updates, fight analysis, pre & post-fight BS - all goes in HERE. If I see other threads regarding this fight around the site, they'll be merged here.
Just a heads up.
have fun.

I see this fight going in a similar way to Fedor-Schilt or Fedor-Hong Mai. By the way M_D, I guess you are not so confident about Sylvia getting the win, because you didn't say anything about the sig bet .
I'll always give fighters at least 0.1% chance of winning after Serra/St.Pierre 1, but Sylvia has very very small chance of winning IMO. I really don't see for one second how he will be able to beat Fedor.
Like already mentioned, he's fought bigger, better opponents before and had very little trouble.
Fedor via submission in the 1st RD, possibly 2nd (but I'll be surprised if it goes that far.)
I think Sylvia would have a better chance if elbows were allowed, because Fedor cuts easily and he could get the stoppage. That's the only way Sylvia wins I think .
