Sherdog is reporting through sources the negotiations would tentatively scheduled in Dallas the home base for HDNet Fights. HDNet fights has made no comment either way though it is believed that the fight will air on the Mark Cuban owned network, rumored to be promoted by Affliction, a clothing company closing tied in the MMA world. This would be Emelianeko's first ranked fight opponent since his victory over Mirko Cro Cop almost three years ago. This would be Sylvia's first post-UFC fight after his UFC 81 loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria. More details should be coming soon

Does UFC say "damn, we had that guy" ? Does Randy say "Hell yeah, bring it on" ? Posted by: David Busby at 04-09-2008 07:33 You're right. It's a BIG 'if' Sylvia is going to get pumped. :) Posted by: Gareth at 04-09-2008 12:25 Oh dear, poor Timmy. Posted by: Steve Wightman at 04-09-2008 20:42 hmmm - it will be very interesting to see how Sylvia does against Fedor. And if he does manage to pull off the upset win, I think that will confirm Randy Couture as the best HW in the world (ie. Sylvia beats Fedor, and Randy beat Sylvia convincingly). Write Comment
