Tim used his long reach and limited skill to KO ARN here.

[The Rocketmen]

King kong dont patty cake lil nog

[The Sandmen]

I'm a bit confused by that, but I'll just smile and leave it be.

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

Limited skill? Tim pulverized ARN from start to finish here... And even did so on the ground as well as with his stand up FFS. Why can't you just give credit where credit is due? Instead you choose to be a jerk... Bravo.

[The Sandmen]

Hahaha, yeeahhhhh....

1) I threw that joke in there because it was a joke - when someone is talking about what someone used to win a fight, they rarely say things like "limited skill" so it made me laugh.
2) It was also a test to see who actually reads my write-ups (I know you do, I get in trouble for it constantly - not even sure why you bother reading them, to be honest). And
3) I love Tim Sylvia (especially on Blind Date), but if we are being objectively honest, he wasn't a very technically-skilled fellow. He was 1-dimensional as fuck. He was very good at that one-dimension, but he was pretty shitty anywhere else. So though a joke, the comment is still, with all love and respect to Tim, accurate (at least in terms of RL Tim).

Moral - Pulverized is only a term we should use when discussing Jens Pulver. Dibs.

Also Cain Velasquez since he pulverised Brock. 

[The Sandmen]

No. Only Jens Pulver.

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

Fine, Cain trademarks "demolished"

[The Sandmen]

.......no?

[The Rocketmen]

Another fun fact about Tim Sylvia - he's really bad at shaking off arm bars.

And for the patty cake reference...



Greatest Fight of High Fives of All Time

[xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club]

It's true... Sylvia was bad at shaking off armbars. lol

[The Sandmen]

*snap*

'nuff said? (shudder)

[The Rocketmen]

That's probably one of the biggest gross out moments in MMA for me, probably along with Nogueira refusing to tap and Mir snapping his shoulder, as well as the old classic "punch him in the dick" in the early UFCs

[The Sandmen]

haha ew to dick-punching as well. Good ol' Keith Hackney.
