I think Sylvia will be nothing more then a memory in a year or so. He needs to loose to monson on a rematch. I do not think Sylvia will take a rematch though. I would love to see it.

Big Nog to Debut at UFC 73

Famed PRIDE standout Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (29-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), better known as “Big Nog,” will make his Octagon debut at UFC 73, according to the latest rumor posted by MMAWeekly.com.
UFC 73 takes place July 7 — most likely in Sacramento, Calif. The event is already expected to feature title fights of UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva vs. Nate Marquardt, and UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk vs. Hermes Franca. A much-anticipated light-heavyweight bout between Rashad Evans and former champ Tito Ortiz will also take place at the event.
Nogueira’s opponent is not yet known, though rumors of a Nogueira vs. Brandon Vera bout have been swirling for weeks. (Then again, it might just be wishful thinking.)
Nogueira, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert, has posted marquee wins over Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, Josh Barnett, Dan Henderson, Fabricio Werdum, Heath Herring and Jeremy Horn, among many other notables since he began MMA fighting in 1999. The official announcement of his deal with the UFC was announced earlier this month at UFC 69 in Houston.

Pretty sweet.
Hopefully he fights Vera and not some scrub. Maybe Kongo. |

7/7/07 is already scheduled as a night off of work for me. this is looking to be the UFC's best card of the year so far!!! i also hope the fight with Vera happens. if so, then you have an awesome televised card set up. if the rumors are true, i can't wait for UFC 73

I dont want to see Big Nog fight tim at all. At least him vs vera would be exciting. Mir, Tim, and Vera are all free around that time. Im not sure about this but if jake Obrien might be a good choice (boring but good)

Nogueira has a tendency to look boring against boring fighters. Imagine him against Sylvia...........that would suck.......bad.

Sylvia might be on the shelf for a while if he is indeed getting back surgery. I'd guess it ends up being Vera.
