my best guess is he's finally decided to take mma lessons and is gonna make an honest effort to quit fighting like a little fairy .

The rumor is that Elite XC is offering him a contract to fight Fedor. That's it, no one cares. Lock and delete this shit!

Sad day in MMA when this is the most active thread on the board over the last 3 weeks!

 TIM SYLVIA EXPECTED TO PART WAYS WITH UFC
Friday, March 28, 2008 - by Tom Hamlin - MMAWeekly.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 
Five years, eleven fights, and five titles after joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it appears that Tim Sylvia is leaving the Octagon.

Sylvia hinted at the departure on his website’s blog this Wednesday, stating, “I’ve got a couple of big announcements to make about my career.”

He had one fight left on his current contract following a losing title bid against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 81. A source close to the negotiations confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that Sylvia was given his leave last week. The divorce was made final early this week.

Sylvia’s manager, Monte Cox, declined to confirm the exit and would not comment on his fighter’s status.

The Bangor, Maine native made his UFC debut on September 27, 2002, defeating Wesley Correira by TKO at UFC 39: “The Warriors Return.” Since defeating Ricco Rodriguez for the heavyweight title at UFC 41, Sylvia was a constant fixture at the top of the division, fighting for the belt on eight separate occasions.

Sylvia’s tenure with the UFC was not always harmonious. After two lackluster title defenses at UFC 61 and 65, Sylvia strained his relationship with fans and the UFC brass. Long outspoken about the UFC’s business decisions, he attacked former WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar’s pay scale and hinted at his willingness to the leave following UFC 81.

“I want to stay with the UFC but I am going to go were the money is right now,” Sylvia wrote on his website. “Brock is making more money then me [and] that has to change. In case [you] didn't know my manager runs M1 so I have a pretty good in so we will see what happens in the next few months.”

Since Fedor Emelianenko’s exit from M-1, the organization is without marquee talent. Despite Sylvia’s hot/cold relationship with fans, Cox is likely to be first in line for his services.

Honestly, like him or not, I think many fighters look up to him in his little circle.  He could bring alot of talent to a new organization.  Whether anyone thinks his pool is the best is obvioulsy opinion. This will be interesting to see...

Where's Bluto to toot his horn about how "awesome" the UFC HW division is. That division gets shittier by the day. Talk about having absolutely no talent outside of Big Nog.


Eh, Bluto? HAHAHAHA, BERZKEROWNED.

yeah, UFC needs some competition in order to pay their fighters what they are worth (not to say Tim needs more), its sad that's what it takes though...

i've said it before but dana white has been one of the greatest things for mma and one of the worst. he has built it to something great but his cockiness will eventually cause it to crash
