UFC - Name the fighter for me please...

[Neil]

He's Russian (or some eastern block country) and cannot speak english. He's about 26 and basically is/was the current champion for his weight. About 220 pounds I think?

It could either be Oleg Taktarov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Taktarov) or Andrei Arlovski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Arlovski)

Silvia is a doofus and he wears his belt everywhere he goes. I hope The Snowman makes him tap with Saturday.

See he's defending his title on Sat? Your prediction?

[slickwilly13]

Here's my prediction. If they do standup then Silvia has a chance to knock Monson out. But if it goes to the ground then Monson will win by either tap out or stoppage.

Here's link for info on Monson. This guy was also a Sambo champion.
