All this talk about Arlovski vs. Sylvia. What about Frank Mir?
Hasn't he earned a shot yet? At least more so than Arlovski?

yah i'd have to agree with curly on this one...but do you really think frank mir has a chance against sylvia imo sylvia would seriously hurt mir

The only guy in the UFC with a punchers chance against Sylvia is Arlovski.

No way Mir can take him down.....no ****ing way.

Mir v.s. Arlovski next?

Sure, why not. I didn't say that Mir could beat him. I just think he should get a shot before anyone else.

agreed

I agree with that

Mir has a shot against Slyiva, but not a very good one. No one except Fedor is taking him down, and even that would be tough for Fedor. Remember, he isn't a shoot takedown fighter. His style is Greco Roman. And seriously, who wants to clinch with a 6"8 265 lb man?

Cro Cop

How is Cro Cop gonna kick Syliva? I think we can all agree that Cro Cop's kicks are his greatest weapon. Syliva is about 6" taller than Mirko. It would be impossible to land a high kick on him. Kicking him in the ribs is a lot tougher, because throwing a high kick on a normal person would maybe hit Syliva in the shoulder or ribs.

Leg kicks against a striker are never a very good idea because they are inviting a counter punch. Mirko would probably find a way to win, but lets face it, Syliva would have a great chance

Mirko would kill Tim Sylvia. He doesn't have to land high kicks to beat him. Didn't you watch his fight against Heath Herring?
There's no way Tim Sylvia beats a K-1 striker the class of Mirko Filipovic.
