Tim Sylvia vs. Andrei Arlovski rubber match set for UFC 61

[Andrew Green]

One other piece of UFC news, version 3 of this match is already set, for UFC 61.

So who does everyone pick for rd 3?

 

[tshadowchaser]

I'll be the first to go out on a lomb and pick Arlovski

 

[Henderson]

I'm still disappointed in version 2. I really don't care at this point. Maybe by then my opinion will change.

 

[Andrew Green]

I hope Arlovski wins, I think he is the better champ.

Sylvia is too big, his movement looks almost clumsy and lacks the fluidity and rythym of Arlovski. Charisma? I don't think is his strong point... Well rounded? No, he's a brawler plain and simple.

He is looking better, but he still doesn't move as well as Arlovski, and I don't think he'll ever get the charisma that Arlovski has. Not to mention a HW champ at 230 is more impressive then one that cuts to make 265...

 

[Shogun]

Arlovski has the worst English in the UFC. lol

 

[Henderson]

Off topic...I know.

Hey Shogun, just read your signature and profile. Being that you're part of the Pedro Sauer group, do you know Alan Hopkins? He's in Mississippi now, used to be in Utah.

 

[7starmantis]

Yeah, I'll go with Arlovski, I think he made a stupid mistake to loose this past fight...hope he has learned his lesson.

I'm gonna have to go with Arlovski on this one. Tim is huge, but IMO, Arlovski is a better technical fighter.

I agree arlovski should win, but then again one punch can ruin any good laid plan.

Arlovski, I hope. I am sorry I missed the last one, would have like to see the fight.

last one was on of those 'yeaaah come on arlovski you got him!you got........oh.'moments.I got up shouted and then sat down quite.......I dont like that syvia guy.

 

[Hand Sword]

I was saying: "why are you fighting his fight Andrei?" I think there will be a different outcome this time. Tim got an arguably lucky shot in, in terms of timing, the last time. Andrei is a superior fighter.

I agree completly,I dont like sylvia I really dont think hes that good.....hes just a fat bastard with long arms and basic boxing skills...but thats the problem with heavyweights they're so big it doesnt matter how skill they have if they hit you once its nighty night!
Andrei's actually a good fighter.......the pride heavywieght circuit is much better.

Arlovski. He was robbed if you ask me!

 

[Andrew Green]

Arlovski. He was robbed if you ask me!

Arlovski, I wouldn't say he was robbed, he went in blindly for the kill and underestimated Sylvia. I don't think he'll make that mistake again, but he lost fairly...

 

[Hand Sword]

Yep. As the Friday movies put it.. "Hey! Young man! You got knocked the bleep out!"
