Which GOAT had the better performance when UFC and Affliction went head to head?

[SomniumRabidum]

Sylvia was 24-4, the #4 ranked HW in the world, and a former 2x UFC HW champion. Beaten down and submitted in 38 seconds.

Irvin was 14-4, an unranked LHW, and his biggest claim to fame was KOing Houston Alexander. Sniped and TKOd in 60 seconds.

Going with the first one.

Of those two performances, obviously Fedor considering that Sylvia was the UFC champ not too long ago

 

[Egészségére!]

I really thought Irvin might give Silva trouble

for a MW to go up 15 lbs and take out Irvin in 61 seconds is pretty damn impressive

you mean not cut 15 lbs the night before a fight

Remember the context in 2008.
This is when UFC fights were seen at the bar and the "Silvia fight" as the bouncer/doorman referred to it as, was hyped up to the max. "You here to see the 'Sylvia fight', its a $5 cover charge" - "Im here to see Fedor mop the floor with him" i replied as i handed over the cover (the look on his face was like 'what the F, no one is gonna mop the floor with him, Dana White told us he was the best!). Very few knew who Fedor was at the packed bar, with all TVs cranking out Rogan and Goldnerd's audio. And that card was stacked! I copied the card and the payroll. Plus Megadeath jammed in between fights and Mike Buffer did the ring. One of my fav fight cards ever and Fedor was unbelievable.

Damn, well Timmy was a UFC champ, so you gotta go with Fedor, although Anderson made Irwin look terrible
Both great scraps to be fair
