Couture needs to get past and under Sylvia's fists and deal with his sprawl. For as boring as the Monson fight was, Sylvia did show great takedown defense.
Sylvia needs to be more agressive (which Couture has been calling him out on) and go for the win.

I agree. You summarized my thoughts well.

The ace up Couture's sleeve is the fact that he was actually once one of syliva's instructors and proberly knows him better then most people Timmy has faced.
Also Couture said he's already spotted a weakness in Sylvia's technique not sure what, as boring as it is to watch jab and sprawl seems to work for him and as we've seen Tim has some bite in his right hand.
One thing for sure is I cant see Randy fighting Tim's fight, I cant see him repeatedly eating jabs while walking around the octagon randy is smarter then thatÂ…Â…Â…I hope!

Monsoon has a very good ground, i think he was a bjj black belt, not to sure what he was thinking when he fought Timmy.
Randy likes to clinch before performing a take down...maybe he will try to push timmy against the fence first?
We all know randy like to throw punches fron the clinch...maybe the plan???

This is a fight that really could go either way. I am not a fan to Sylvia but this may be a tough fight for Randy. Should make for an interesting night!

No. Sylvia will jab, jab, jab and..........oh yeah jab. He will then unload a right cross after Randy has started to slowdown from boredom and wondering if this is real or a bad dream.
Someone had to give an opposing view
My biggest fear for Randy is that he is older and substantially lighter. I do not like the way Sylvia fights one bit nor do I think he is particularly all that skilled. (his fights are boring) Having said that though he is very big! Should be a good fight and let's hope that Randy win's!
