he thought he’d try his boxing and wait for the mat to come?!

fedor will be more creative in this respect

this can be neutralized. fedor has not only hand speed but foot work and crazy weird sambo sprawl. tim won’t know what to expect cause even if fedor has a basic gameplan, it’s never so 1 dimensional that anyone can figure it out. against hunt it was pretty clear though - but hunt can not be knocked out ever by any living creature and his punches are insane. but in tim’s case fedor may do some banging - just not at a boxing distance. MMA boxing is less tidy. couture is not a boxer but he is a very effective MMA boxer. he kept sylvia confused with a mixed arsenal. fedor will be able to hit sylvia. and while sylvias takedown defense an be very good it’s only good in a face to face confrontation. fedor will probably take it to the mat easily. i dont think he’ll get a sub quite as easily as nog but will neutralize tim’s reach on the ground and knee the body punch the head wrench the joint and choke ye ‘ol dino neck. tim needs to time a wicked punch. and then finish.

i was impressed how well tim kept NOG boxing.

I was surprised how long it took nog to get it to the ground.
not surprised that it took 10 secs for a battered nog to make a monkey out of tim aftrr it went to the mat though.

Can’t blame him for trying to cash in on his “best heavyweight” in the world status. Tim can beat him but he won’t. Randy will get one last chance to put the oil in his joints and go for broke. But let’s face it, he’s a big underdog in that fight, despite what anyone says about Fedor being overrated. Randy will not be able to manhandle him like he has others. It’s gonna be a very tough day at the office. And Fedor has the submissions that Randy doesn’t. War of attrition is his only real avenue of victory. But that fight will happen. The $$ are there, it will go down. On a flaming barge off the coast of New Zealand for seats 10 grand a pop! Where do I sign?
