I picked Sylvia/Fedor.

But I wouldn't see either of them as big of an upset as Serra/GSP1.

These 2 fights have 4 current and former world champs so no matter the outcome of either of the fights I dont see it as a full-blown upset.

I know it sounds cliche but whoever has the best night is going to win the fights. These are a lot closer than a lot of people make it out to be.

Anyway,

War BJ and Timmay.

timmy winning imo would be a bigger upset

I could see sherk trying to h.franca Penn into a decision, although unlikely. I just dont see Timmy beating Fedor.

I think Sylvia/Fedor would be the bigger upset but I also think its more likely to happen then Sherk/Penn.

I personally dont think either fight isn't possible, sherk can beat penn if he outlasts him. He's good at defending subs, and gnp'ing. I do think penn will win though.

Also Tim can beat Fedor, if he can stop the take down, keep distance and use his long reach to jab away and pick fedor apart. He's a decent boxer. Not enough people give him credit. He has good power in his hands and if he catches Fedor with a clean shot he could stop him. It's not as far fetched as a lot of other matches in the past and there outcomes. Not that I like Tim and I'd much rather see Fedor destroy him, but its definetly possible.

I gotta say, Tim has a punchers chance, Sherk doesn't even have that. I have to say that because of that I think Sherk beatin Penn would be the bigger upset in my book

I expect BJ to dominate Sherk so a bigger upset to me would be would be Sherk over Penn. Tim is huge and has power. He KOed Arlovski at a time when everyone said Arlovski was unstoppable.

stylistically, these wouldn't be upsets imo. tim via 2nd round tko (punches) and sherk via 4th round tko (strikes)

They would both be bigger upsets then Serra beating GSP. At that time it was thought that Serra was better at one aspect of mma then GSP, can you guys say the same thing about Tim OR Sherk? I think that Fedor is the greatest but Tim CAN knock him out if he connects, I don't think Sherk has enough power to KO Penn even if he connects cleaner then he ever has in a fight. Bigger upset would be Sherk
