Tim is not going to be able to do that with Cro Cop. Just dancing around will get him KO'd against that croatian nightmare. He's going to eliminate boring heavyweight fights all on his own. Either you belong in the octagon or he'll make sure you get carried out.

Well said. Bring on Vera V Crocop imo the best possible heavy weight encounter currently possible in the UFC.

love to see that bout. i still think it would be premature for Vera, but a great matchup. What's going on with Vera? I heard he was leaving UFC because Dana was nickel and diming him. Maybe headed for Pride?

I do not like Tim Sylvia. However, I would rather he win and defend the title against cro cop then Randy winning and then getting pounded by cro cop

[Kirkardo]

Vera is currently not fighting in the UFC as of now becasue he wants more money and dana doesnt think he is worth that much. Cro Cop is going to dominate this division HANDS DOWN and I cant wait him to kick the shit out of Tim.

Vera still has one fight left on his contract. If they do not resign him, I hope they give him a damn good last fight.

If Couture wins, then there will most likely be a rematch, which will only further prolong Cro Cop''s reign over the heavyweight division.

but I did see a television segment called "Inside UFC" with Joe Rogan. This segment contained two sitdown short interviews with Chuck Liddell and Randy Coture with Rogan. I cannot say for sure when I saw this segment on TV, but it seems to me it was somewhere between the last two PPV's. In this segment Coture related that he had signed a 5 fight deal with UFC and it seemed to me the contract was lucrative. So I think you can plan on seeing Randy around a bit unless they throw him back into the ring with Chuck.

I don't get to see MMA style fights as much as I would like to...but they are fascinating!!!!!!!!!!

Sylvia vs Couture one sided? That one's gonna be a battle.. I don't see how anyone can write Couture off, even at his age.

Nobody is writing Coture off...we just think Crocop will murder him.

I hope Vera stays in the UFC. Everyone loves him, he is young and he is damn good...Oh and a nice guy too. Also probably the only guy who will last a will give Crocop a run for his money.

I love the way everyone hates Tim Sylvia. Thought i was alone in that until i came on here. We should start a 'Cropcop-extra-damage-to-Sylvia" fund. Then we let Mr Crocop know that the more damage he inflicts the more we will pay him :P Maybe every closed fracture will be X and every open fracture...yum yum will be X x 10.

I wrote that post before Couture made his announcment so i assumed Sylvia would destroy whoever he was facing. But in no way is the fight going to be one sided, it will be a battle!
