I think Fedor will win. But I don't think it will be easy for Fedor and it will be by submission. He has 14 submission and 6 KOs. Sylvia doesn't do will against submissions but does very well with take-down defense so he doesn't have to deal with submissions. Fedor gets Tim on the ground he is like a turtle on its back. Tim is going to control if Fedor tries to stand with him. Tim is 30 pounds heavier, longer reach and is 8inches taller. Tim usually keeps fighters at bay and when they come in makes them eat a few before they can strike. Which is why he is a boring fighter but wins by getting the points. Fedor has not stepped in the ring with anyone bigger than him in over 3 years except for Hong Man Choi, who had only fought once against Bobby Ologun who only had two fights. Hong may be 7'2" but he has no skill.

Like I said Fedor is going to win this but by submission, I say Armbar, his last 5 matches were all won by Armbar.

Fedor by TKo or Submissionis a pretty safe bet. Sylvia got dominated in stand up by Cotoure who is a much smaller man, and not known as a stand up fighter. He's had Nogeira in trouble but couldn't finish him, and lost to Andre Arlovski as well. Sylvia is one of the top 10 heavywieghts in the world but his over all game is nowhere near Fedor's. Stand up - Edge Fedor, Subission - Edge Fedor, Ground & Pound - Edge Fedor, Catching fists to the face - Edge Sylvia.

One of Sylvias main advantages is that he his typically so much larget than his opponents and that is going to be nulified by Fedor. Plus for a big man Fedor is easilly the best fighter from a stand point of being well rounded. I think Fedor looks to take the fight to the mat where Sylvia is clearly not comfortable.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad to see these two guys fighting, I just don't think Sylvia has a chance.

Fedor

Money on Fedor - arm bar

Sylvia will put up a good fight, but i dont think fedor is touchable (not literally, i mean it like he cant be beat right now :D) Fedor will deffinitely take some abuse. Sylvia is just a fking ogre, hard to get inside, and he has great TD def.

Fedor. He's going to eat some punches though. Big Tim has excellent skills from the outside...but he's too cautious. If he fights like he did against Noguiera, he may give Fedor some problems. When Tim fights like the big guy that he is, uses his height and power, and defends that takedown like we all know that he can, he's dangerous. It's going to be entertaining, but when Fedor takes him down, and rest assured he will, it's game over.

Fedor via armbar in the first

well i see it going to either one but to bet for fedor by KO is a little ridiculous. Big Tim has been hit by some of the hardest hitters in mma and never been KO'd. I want to Silvia to win but it will be very hard for him to do

fedor armbar 2nd round

The final emperor will *** rape large timmy. Ive seen Tim combat stay (In Cincinnati and columbus) and hes an extremely uninteresting fighter. he will mostl ikely decide for and clinch and Fedor will clock him, taking him to the floor, ending by skill of way of GnP.

Fedor is over rated and i can't wait until tim proves that. i really dont understand why people think Fedor is so great anyways...........
