Will Tim Sylvia Tap from the armbar?

One of the most likely endings to this fight is Fedor winning by an armbar, most likely in one of the first 2 rounds. The last time Tim got armbarred he let him break his arm. Do you think he will be that stupid again or will he just tap?

I think Tim would tap, I mean the fight got stopped regardless and he then lost time from training and had to take even more time to recover and for what a loss and its not like even that managed to win him the respect of the fans.

I dont see Tim tapping though, I think Tim can handle himself well enough and I think the Unified rules will take an adjustment period for Fedor as well as his tendency to bleed which stateside is gonna be a problem. In a tough call Im gonna go on the limb and call for a Sylvia victory this time although Fedor would have destroyed Sylvia if it had been in Pride.

I don't really think that you're going out on a limb. I got Sylvia as well. I just try to keep that to myself for the most part :P.

It's definitely going out on a limb, it's Fedor Emelianenko.

Sylvia's already said (Hdnet?) he knows better than to get his arm broken like that again. I would hope so. That was a major spiral fracture last time around.

Out on a limb? Armbar? Get it? Get it? Do you get it? Seriously....do you get it?

How will Big Tim tap from an armbar when he is going to have his arm raised at the end of the fight?

Blasphemy!

Tim's ONLY hope is for a stoppage due to a cut. He's gonna have to adjust to fighting in a ring AND against the best HW on the planet. A healthy Tim should make for a good fight(unlike against Randy... damn that was ugly), but once it hits the ground he'll be tapping like a tapdancer at a tapdancing competition. I apologize for the crappy analogy. All the good ones were taken.

I do. But Big Tim's REALLY gonna get it in five sleeps(assuming he doesn't take naps).

Huh? Is it normal protocol to elevate your arm after it breaks?

Everybody that is human taps from the armbar.

If you've been put in one you will know......it breaks your arm.

Tim has big arms and I can see Fedor snatching that thing and snapping it in a nice clean armbar....

I'm taking Fedor by arm snappage (If the vBookie will come up soon)

Yeah I forget where I saw the interview but I also saw Sylvia say he would not hesitate to tap if he was caught in something. Better to fight again in a couple of months to build yourself back up than to have to sit out for a year rehabbing to look tough.
