Will be the same game plan as he fought Nog. Fedor isnt that great of a striker. Lacks reach. Big Tim will rein jabs all day. Fedor will have to counter those punches into a take down. Who knows, Fedor could have the same game plan as Randy. What do you guys think Tims plan will be? Dana White is fuming I bet!
Tim is a one dimensional fighter, that's why people find him boring. With that said, he's got heavy hands, never say never.
With that said, he's not going to jab Fedor to death and needs to make sure this fight doesn't go to the mat. If this fight goes to the mat and Fedor isn't out already, Tim will get armbarred quickly.
It doesnt matter if it is in a ring or cage. Tim will use that reach all day. If Fedor wants in....He has to eat the jab in order to clinch. I dont want to hear excuses if Fedor loses because he fought in a cage. That is what all his fans will be saying.
Sylvia's gameplan: cut Fedor and pray to God the fight is stopped before he gets his arm broken.
Kidding. Seriously, I think Sylvia is going to want to do the same thing he did against Nog. Keep the distance, stuff the takedown, and try to sneak out a UD.
Due to his size Sylvia may be more difficult for Fedor to take down, but then again Sylvia has been able to depend on the cage to keep from getting taken down as well. Without the ring to press his weight against Fedor I see Tim having a hard time in this fight. Even worse for him is that he can actually get stuck in a corner. I see this fight being Fedor figuring out Sylvia's reach and then unloading with some shots to setup the TD. Once it goes down Sylvia is going to be in a lot of trouble, fast.
