    "I will take his le away with pleasure."

    Little does he know how much pleasure that would give to a great many other people as well

    I've been hoping for this for months. He's stuck under his brother in Pride. They would never fight each other. Aleks coming to the UFC would be great on so many levels...

    1. He would destroy Sylvia...

    2. Sylvia has said that Aleks has slow hands...hahaha.

    Also, check this recent interview of Sylvia...
    http://www.graciemag.com/?c=144&a=5625

    Quote of the year: "Against Fedor? I would beat him. I Think my striking is better and I think he hasn’t fought a tall striker like I am."

    Wow! I guess he's never heard of 6'10" Semmy Schilt, nevermind the fact that he's trained with his 6'5" brother for years!

    3. Tim Sylvia getting wrecked by a Russian with a mullet and this back tattoo??


    Soooooooooooooo delicious. The typical UFC event fan wouldn't know what to think...their heads might explode...

    4. I hate Tim Sylvia...

    Aleks would destroy Sylvia and then reign supreme in the UFC HW div. It would force UFC to get some more talent (hopefully some international) in the division which would be great for us fans!

    Plus it would introduce the casual American fan to the cold breeze of Russian death that is Emelianenko!

    the cold breeze of Russian death that is Emelianenko!
    That's pretty good!

    Fedor and Aleks also have a younger brother they are training, Ivan. I think he's 18 now. Probably won't be long before we see him coming up through the Pride ranks as well.

    I still laugh at that Josh Barnett quote (to mma reporter), "You'll have to excuse me, I just got hit by a giant crazy Russian with a Reaper holding a baby on his back!"

    HW in UFC is lacking of depth.

    Funny to see how many think Sylvia is the best HW in UFC.
    The current belt holder yes, but the best????

    Hmmm, guess those who have a definite bias towards overseas sluggers don't know as much about the UFC & MMA as they would want others to think.

    Hahaha...yea, that was a great line...

    Ivan is a skinny kid, but he's no doubt getting some great training and will certainly fill out some I would think...

    Thanks for the clip Leonard. Hadn't seen Ivan yet. He's definitely no heavyweight

    Vera is, right now, the heavyweight with the most potential... Arlovski is great, but has a weak chin, Sylvia is better than he used to be (which isn't saying much), and the Frank Mir era is definitely over.

    Vera definitely has the most potential, although I'd rather see him at 205 lbs.

    I'm just curious who the best is right now if it's not Sylvia?

    I think you're trying to take a shot at me so I'd like to address that. I don't have a "definite bias towards overseas sluggers".

    I enjoy all mma, from supporting small local promotions to the big shows like Pride & UFC, have for many many years. I'm not trying to start some Pride>UFC argument, all I'm saying is that bringing in Aleks would be amazing for the UFC and its HW division. Unlike some of other divisions in the UFC, the HW lacks depth. Bringing in a world class guy like Aleks would improve the situation for the UFC and the fans. Simple as that.

    Now why do you have to come in here insulting people's knowledge of the sport? If you have a point then say it. Do you feel insulting people makes your argument more credible?

    Can you imagine the potential for this kid? Growing up with Fedor and Aleks as your big bro's? The training that kid has already put in must be sick!! It's pretty cool to know that as the older Emelienankos start to slow down that Ivan will be starting to hit his peak!

    I don't know what Dio was trying to say, or who he was trying to take a shot at....most of what he said made no sense to me. I just want to know who's better than Sylvia right now in the UFC...

    Definitely something to keep an eye on over the next few years...

    He's just trolling. He can't keep up with the conversation and feels a little left out today.

    I guess I started the insulting?

    You take it as you'd like.
    Do you feel like throwing insults veiled as kinder comments go unseen?
    Does it make your point more credible?

    Before anyone, I MEAN ANYONE........kid, man, woman...whatever, before anyone gets insulted & starts pouting look at your history of posts 1st.

    IMO, the best in the UFC HW are prob:
    Vera (suprised King Leo didn't know this with all his infinite MMA wisdom ), AA/TS tie, Kongo (I think those that wrote him off will be eating crow w/in 1yr)

    As far as Leo & Dessie trying to make this a PRIDE is better & BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH....
    Well, sorry to stunt "your" thread kids....
    Maybe the roids your boys are on will help your argument?

    And people wonder why SherPuppy has went downhill.
    Kids like you all can't appreciate the sport of MMA & start this, "Our hood is better than your hood" kiddie stuff.

    Okay... when did I say "Pride is better."? Or even imply that? As far as that goes, there can't possibly be a solid argument that the level of heavyweight talent in the UFC is higher than of that in Pride. I'm not talking about the other weight classes. Just hw right now.

    I've heard Kongo is a badass, but what I've seen of him so far is one decent fight and one really bad one. If he comes up with a really good one, hey, good for him.

    I was supposed to know that in your OPINION Vera is the best right NOW? How does that make any sense?

    Vera hasn't been tested too much yet. I'd love to see him crush Sylvia after he puts Mir out of the UFC for good. But RIGHT NOW, I don't see how anybody can rank him ahead of Sylvia (and NOBODY does, except you apparently)...in the world or in the UFC. He just hasn't done enough yet...

    As far as Leo & Dessie trying to make this a PRIDE is better & BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH....
    Well, sorry to stunt "your" thread kids....
    Maybe the roids your boys are on will help your argument?
    This thread is about HEAVYWEIGHTS dude...wtf?

    If anybody in Pride is NOT on roids, it's the Emelianenko's...

    So you don't think Aleks could beat Tim?? Explain to me what areas Tim has an advantage over Aleks??

    And people wonder why SherPuppy has went downhill.
    Kids like you all can't appreciate the sport of MMA & start this, "Our hood is better than your hood" kiddie stuff.
    LOL...how has Sherdog gone downhill? Because there are lots of new fans there that don't know much about the sport? So the sport growing is a BAD thing? You make no sense dude...

    and I'm not sure why you always come back to Sherdog in your replies when it has NOTHING to do with this thread? It's one of many sites that I visit. The info there is top notch. The weekly radio show is top notch. The only American journalist at the Pride press conf I snuck into was Josh Gross of Sherdog. Take the forums for what they are...lots of good info/people/pro fighters surrounded by some people that are ignorant about the sport or just trolling for reactions...

    If you try to make sense out of Dio's points, your head might explode...seriously. It's just random...

    Ohhhh, how cute.
    Leo upset that he isn't recognized as the Wiz of All Knowledge of MMA??


    Your arguments are 99% OPINION Leo.
    If you need a definition of opinion I can post it for you & assure you OPINION isn't FACT.

    Once again, a reply that has nothing to do with the subject...

    If you need a definition of opinion I can post it for you & assure you OPINION isn't FACT.
    We all have opinions, but you were surprised that I didn't know that Vera was #1 in YOUR opinion? Do you realize how little sense that makes??

    Show me a reputable world MMA HW ranking that has Vera ahead of Sylvia or Aleks...
