I interpreted it as the writer sating that most of the top 10 reside outside the UFC... It is not written clearly though.

Depending on how much the writer follows MMA, he might not no any better.

Here's what I think happened to Sylvia in regards to him getting boring. He KO'd Arlovski and they had the rubber match. I think he wanted to insure that he put Arlovski behind him so he was cautious and only wanted to secure the win to put him back 2-1. Then Vera came along and their styles clashed. When you have 2 evenly matched opponents that tends to happen.

Couture basically schooled him. Then he decided to let it all hang out again and really took it to Nog. He won that fight for 2+ rounds and got caught ina submission.

Big Tim is better than people give him credit for.

I'm a fan of him and Fedor but I think Tim takes it. I still don't know why, I just do. Then people still won't give him credit. They will then start calling Fedor overrated.

Very interesting read. To me Sylvia is vastly underrated.

Thanks, nice read. Although I don't see him being underrated at all. He is a one dimensional fighter IMHO. repd for the post.
