Welcome back to the big leagues Timmy.

Lost in all this Sylvia nonsense, is that this is a pretty good card top to bottom. Yves Edwards, Travis Lutter, Travis Wiuff and a great female fight between Tara LaRosa and Roxy Modeferri.

Good god this was perhaps the worst MMA show I've ever seen.. Production value made Elite XC look like Pride. Pudz was an absolute joke.. I truely feel sorry for anyone who actual payed for this steaming pile of crap.

I felt dirty after watching that. Eww. ^However the pyrotechnics were better than Strikeforce's.

Actually, I thought the card was pretty good. Crappy production value and novelty act main event not withstanding, there were some excellent fights tonight. The Yves Edwards fight, the Forrest Petz fight, and the Tara Larosa fight were all great fights.

The main event went about how I expected. Sylvia may have made himself a bit of a laughing stock lately, but he is way too good and too seasoned for a part timer with 2 MMA fights. Unless that part timer is a former boxing champion that is.

LOL I was going to type that..

Cammo, I admit I didn't give all of the fights my full attention (I agree the LaRosa fight was alright) but I just couldn't get passed the laughable production ie. random, awkward crowd shots (ugly audience btw), terrible backstage interviews (that's an understatement) and horrible national anthems sung by two people who could easily make an American Idol's worst audition episode..

I was wondering how much money this event would actually pull in.. but apparently Moosin had a television deal in Poland and was going to be broadcast to 5 million homes (with 10 million expected to watch)..

[Cammo101]

The lady who sang the Polish national anthem was brutal. It seemed like they found the first person they could who spoke Polish and just had her sing it.

"What's up now, folks?" Sylvia asked. "I'm back."

oh jesus

Yves got robbed. Lame.

Yves got robbed. Lame.

I thought all three close decisions were wrong. I thought Yves won, I though Larosa won, and I thought that guy who's name I can not remember beat Petz.

Sylvia haters can suck it. Those knees were beautiful. So powerful. And that is a great 1-2.

He looked okay, but he also looked slow and sluggish. Not that he needed his A game to beat a 2-0 part timer.

I have always liked Timmy, but beating this guy does nothing to prove he is back to being elite.

[cowboyronnie]

He's 300+ pounds, who is he going to be facing that moves like a hummingbird? Which SHW are you comparing him to? Semmy Schilt? They're all lumbering.

He has fast hands...a very fast 1-2.

The LaRosa fight was great.

The LaRosa fight was great.

But, he wants back in the UFC at 265. Tonight's fight did nothing to prove he can fight with the top guys in the UFC. If he wants to stay at Super Heavy and fight sideshow fights, then he can certainly win all thought.

Larosa won that fight IMO. Why she is not in Strikeforce is beyond me. Larosa vs. Kaufman would be a very good fight.
