Fedor Emelianenko vs Tim Sylvia

[130R]

I don't think this is being shown on TV anywhere in the UK so it will be a youtube job on Sunday but this could be one hell of a fight. It is the main event in Affliction's inaugural event "Affliction: Banned". The rest of the card isn't half bad either:

WAMMA Heavyweight Championship bout: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Tim Sylvia
Heavyweight bout: Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell
Heavyweight bout: Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo
Middleweight bout: Matt Lindland vs. Fabio Negao
Light heavyweight bout: Renato Sobral vs. Mike Whitehead

Vitor Belfort, Aleksander Emelianenko and Antônio Rogério Nogueira (Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira's twin brother) are on the undercard too.

I would expect Fedor to win but Tim Sylvia is no walkover for anyone.

Im going to go out on a limb and say that Tim will win, even though I hate the big lummox, he was beating big nog till he got caught in a sub and fdor hasnt fought anyone of note since Pride.

This is a difficult fight to call.

Tim Sylvia when he was trying to fight was knocking people out, since he started trying to win then he has struggled in his fights. He needs to let go and go for the big knockout. He knows how to beat some of the best.

Fedor hasn't fought any decent opposition for some time so may be ring rusty. although he has got a fantastic record and is pretty much undefeated.

Would love to see Big Tim win this, but can never count out somebody like Fedor.

We have both UFN and this card tonight, so will be downloading in the morning. Apparently 8 fights on the affliction TV card.

Bravo was going to show this card but it then disappeared of the planner early this week.

Wow just seen this and talk about a quick fight. I won't say who won just in case people are waiting for a torrent.

Also check out Anderson Silva's debut at light heavy from last night:

Can anyone touch him?

He's fought and defeated the best around, granted, maybe not within the past few years nog and crocrop and his most dangerous. I'm not sure there's a heavyweight in the world that can beat him.
