Really curious to see if Sylvia (and his peyote-esque reach) is legit champion material, or if he just simpuppily has Chuck Liddell's number. Thoughts?
(Also, at first, my spell check thought "simpuppily" is a word, then when I wrote this sentence, both "simpuppilies" turned red-underline. Ya dig?)
