Leuk om dat zo even in een notendop bij elkaar te zien :)

[TOON]

vooral in de HW's is het stuivertje wisselen zo te zien....leuk om eens te lezen zo....veel 'oh ja' momentjes...

[dirk5]

Toch blijf ik het raar vinden dat Tim Sylvia de meest voorkomende naam is in de HW divisie......

zegt genoeg lijkt me....

dat dacht ik inderdaad ook, echt bizar dat hij zo succesvol is geweest

[YoMarK]

Waarom? Iedereen doet altijd alsof Tim Sylvia niks kan.
Feit is dat het een meer dan behoorlijke vechter is. Dat dat ten dele komt omdat hij zo groot is doet er niet toe, het is immers de HW klasse.

meer dan behoorlijk hoort niet 8 keer voor de belt te vechten...., zegt genoeg over rest van vechters in divisie....

[YoMarK]

Yep, waren allemaal pannenkoeken. :lol:

[Fyodor]

Bedankt voor het overzicht Slome, leuk om ff zo te bekijken.

Mijn conclusie:
-Cain Velasquez zal winnen van Brock, die heeft namelijk het maximum aantal title defenses in de HW divisie (2) gehad nu :lol:

[TOON]

sylvia is geen koekenbakker nee, zeker niet in die tijd, maar het feit dat ie destijds HW champ is geworden zegt wel wat over de bezetting van die divisie destijds....zou hem dat nu met de vorm van destijds nooit meer bereiken.....JDS, Carwin, Lesnar, Nog, Cain, daar zou ie absoluut niet van winnen en dan zijn er nog een aantal vechters waar ie het zeker moeilijk tegen zou krijgen....right time right place zeg maar....anders was het altijd een goede subtopper gebleven....
