Sounds like there first event was a good one.  Arlovski managed to get a knockout, Bartlett did the same.  Of course I had to take a double take as I ready the story on mmafighting.com this morning.  You see, Tim Sylvia, former heavyweight champion also was scheduled to fight in this premier event.  Tim and I have known each other since the third grade.  So, needless to say whoever he fights I am in Tim’s corner.  Also, as friends do, he sometimes just gets my goat.  I don’t always agree with his style of fighting.  I mean, he’s not the most exciting fighter in the world 95 percent of the time.  I know he has taken a lot of slack and I hear people say all this stuff all the time.  Even though I don’t understand or agree with his style all the time.  He is a former champion, he defended that title and the man is a bad ass.  I was shocked to hear he lost this fight in 36 seconds however.  That Fedor I would say has to be the top heavyweight to knock Tim down and place him in a rear naked choke in that amount of time.

Tim, keep up the hard work.  It’s been a rough road the last few bouts but us maniacs are still proud to have you represent us in the MMA bud.
