All this coming from guys who paid to see his main events, just like they’ve put down Tito they paid to see his main events. They also would still pay to see either fighter in a main event, whether to see them win or lose. You still wanted to see. By the way fighting to win, and fighting not to lose are the same thing. By the way eddyr92806 sucks like a whore in a crack house.

Tim Sylvia avoids combat, and his fights contribute to an unecessary 1/6th of my $45 PPV fee being wasted (less if we get to see some prelims).
I dont know why so many people are defending him. His size made him difficult to deal with…thats it. If hes a few inches shorter, hes fighting in IFL. The only way he’s top 5 is if there are only 5 HWs being considered.

I’m glad someone mentioned that he blamed his “injury” after he lost to Randy. Tim is a disgrace to MMA. Whoever picks him up should add a contract stipulation that all Sylvia fights are subject to the old Pride yellow-card rule. They would be able to pay him in spare-change.

I Dana alwasy says he’s not worried about these other MMA Promotions and that they’re just “jokes” and what not. Well, the reason that they’ve been jokes, because they haven’t really had big name fighters on the promotion to valid themselves, or to make a serious pool of competition for the title holders. Well if big name fighters keep bailing out of the UFC that will all change super fast! With the possibility of Tito leaving and now Sylvia, not to mention Couture and a slew of others that are at the end of their contracts, this gives other promotions the opportunity to really beef up there rosters, competition levels and help bring respect to there promotion.

Dana and the ufc had better be careful!

Tim Sylvia is a tough dude and is in the top 5 in heavyweights…thats all there is to it. He was destroying Nog until he got caught. THe only fighter he did not destroy or put up a good match at all against was Randy…other than that, he has not gone down easily when he has lost. People hate him and I dunno why, but he is a contender and will always be. He is #2 in the HW division in the UFC.

Tim’s fighting style is safe and boring at times but he has really never recieved the credit he deserves. Regardless of what everyone is saying about him; he has an excellant record fighting against the best the UFC had to offer at that time. People talk trash about him because his image is not that of which the fans accept as a HW Champ. He is in the Top 5 of all HW’s in all of MMA.

I don’t personally like him but his talent in the UFC shouldnt be disputed.

Lesnar is getting paid more because of the amount of hype he brings with him. Unless he puts up some wins his payments will go down after this contract expires. Tim was GREAT…until he got off the roids. He has become a boring fighter and has very few impressive victories in the Octagon. Tim’s prime is over due to fighters who can take his punches and who can get him on the ground. He beat Monson mainly due to the massive size difference, other than that he hasn’t beat a guy who looks to go to the groun (Arlovski wanted to keep it standing). Let’s look to the future…Mir vs. Nogueira for the belt

This guy is almost a bad to watch as sherk…after he got off roids he became slow and flabby…i hope he ends up in king of the cage and is head lining a bill in a Indian Casino

kimbo?? there’s no way he would take the fight…kimbo is a smart dude who knows he has to build his skills and not just jump into the water…people aren’t really thinking about Fedor! fedor just left M1 global, sylvia’s manager running the now defunct M1 into a new promotion…i think its gonna be sylvia vs fedor

I hope he goes elsewhere, soooooo many boring fights, over here in the uk the ufc & cage rage(which is ****e) are the only mma events which get televised so hopefully i’ll never get to see big tim fight again.
