I used to think it was because of his back injury, but now that his surgery's done and he reports it was successful, well, I don't know how to explain his poor showings of late. Yeah, Vera didn't put up much of a fight, either. He did break his hand, so rounds 2 and 3 I guess you could excuse. But even round 1 was yawnsville, so, it can't be blamed entirely on the hand. I honestly thought it was going to be a really good fight. Tim was supposed to be healthier than ever, and in better shape than he's been in in a long time. And Vera usually puts in a good effort. Was just disappointing all around, for whatever reasons. Tim's a bad, bad man when he wants to be. Wouldn't mind seeing *that* guy again, but he's disappeared from what I can tell.

I didnt mean to attack ya dude if thats what it sounded like, my bad. I just think that people do not like Tim Sylvia and think that he is overrated when in fact he is by far not overrated. Most fighters out of the MFS are badasses and he is no exception. I hope to see what happens in his next fight. Sylvia does a lot of counter striking, and is much more successful against offensive fighters, like Arvloski, Cabbage, Mcgee. Sylvia can take a lot of punishment and he uses that to his advantage, so I do think he is bringing it...at least as much as the people he fights. I dont hear anyone booing Vera, or Muson.

Tim Sylvia hasn't been fighting lately. I don't know what you'd call it, but it's definitely not fighting. I've been watching the UFC since its inception, I'm well aware of what a good fight is, and is not, thank you very much. You'll notice nowhere did I say "Where was the knockout? Without a knockout it isn't a fight!" or anything of that sort, whatsoever. Tim hasn't been showing any skill or art lately. He's barely even showing up. And if you think he is, well...

Chuck Liddell? Rampage? Fedor? Everyone of those guys have had boring fights. This sport is about winning....not impressing the fans. I like knock outs too.....but I enjoy the skill and the fights. I enjoy watching two men that are equal fighters battle it out and even if it is a stalemate...it is good. If you want to see a knockout or finishing move everytime...watch the WWE. This is real fighting, real skill.....not entertainment....enjoy the art of fighting. _Shorty… who are you a big fan of? Chuck Liddell? Rampage? Fedor? Everyone of those guys have had boring fights.

I don't care what he's done in the past. I want to see an exciting fight. I don't want to see middle-school-slow-dancin', I'm sorry to say. Tim's fights used to be something to look forward to, because they were actual fights, with people fighting each other. Now, that is not the case. He can't fight anymore, for whatever reason. I see that once again he's using the excuse of injury/injuries as to why his performance was horrible. Give it up. Either come and fight, or stay the #!@$ home. Quit wasting our money and time. And speaking of wasting our money and time on fighters who can't fight, let's NEVER see Jorge "You're the best, Rich!" Gurgel again, please! It's bad enough we have to look at him in Rich's corner being the yes-man of the millenium, but do we have to see him try to fight? He sucks when it counts. I don't care how good he is at training in the gym. Fight night, he chokes or something, or else is just plain bad. Everyone's always talking about what a technician he is, and this and that. And every time he fights, it's like he thinks he's training rather than fighting. Another one that can just stay home for all I care. He doesn't have the mental game to go in there apparently, even if he does have the physical game. If he must fight in the UFC, stick him in the preliminary bouts that go unaired, and leave him there. Making anyone pay to see him is a ripoff.

(Old School)Paul Varlens- I loved watching "Tank" Abbot laugh while he crushed "the Polar Bear's" skull. There, I think I pissed enough people off to reach my quota. P.S. Oddly enough, I think Sylvia is WAY more skilled than people give him credit for. List of fighters I can’t stand for no real good reason-
Kevin Randelman- Sure you’re not on roids
Sean Sherk- Sure you’re not on roids part deux
Ken Shamrock- would you please go away already
Matt Serra- The biggest “chickenhawk” in MMA (also looks like he has HIV or something)

He has unbelievable strength and an agrression that is rare. The guy is a monster and I believe he could be the next champion. I've seen his training videos and he is a beast. I know he has been working on his stand up too. I can’t wait to see Brock Lesnar in the UFC. He has unbelievable strength and an agrression that is rare.
