Fedor finished him quick-fast and now Tim has absolutely nothing to sell promoters or fans for that matter. Tim you should have stayed in UFC making 100K + 60K for getting choked out. Now you have no job. Dana even dissed Fedor and you couldn't last 30 seconds with the man. You big goofy duck-stance waffle warrior. Tim is an incredibly boring fighter to watch.

Also, as sure as I was that it wouldn’t take much more than a minute for Mir to Submit Lesnar, I’m even more sure that Tim wouldn’t make it out of the first with Brock. It would be a slaughter, and I’d pay to see it. It’s “Rhodes Scholar” there genius!!!! Your are one to talk……

Brad, Timid Tim has not lived up to his own hype in the past 2 years. With the exception of the April 06 quick TKO of Arlovski, Sylvia hasn't done anything impressive since his infamous head kick delivered to Tra in August of 05. All of his victories came via decision and lacked excitement. Not your typical Tim Sylvia (typical meaning 2001 to early 2005). Tim is gone; good. There are enough fighters in the UFC, specifically the Heavyweight division to keep a stacked card for many years. No worries here.

It's awesome that you're big and bad. It's also really neat how you managed to combine your name and radical, in a mind blowing juxtaposition of the 2 meanings. Rhodes scholar is specific to Oxford, and wouldn't have much meaning in the context I wrote it, while a Road Scholar specifically means learning through travel and experience. Road scholar has much more meaning in America than Rhodes would, as there are several academic and work related institutions that use the term in a context most Americans would understand. I'm glad I could educate you today, Bradical of Big Badness. This is for big bad bradical. It’s awesome that you’re big and bad.

Even though these guys may not be everyone's personal favorites, and they're not on the Pound-for-Pound ranking along the likes of guys like Spider, GSP, or Rampage, they're NAME fighters, which would help EliteXC, which is still a young promotion. Get more name fighters in there, and people will start to take notice of the younger, lesser-known talent (Noons, Shields, E. Alvarez, Paul Daley, Carano) they already have. I think that Dana White is playing a prospectively-dangerous game here. Lesnar may one day become a great HW champion, who can say, but guys like Tim, Arlovski, and Tito are name that helped build up your promotion after the Fertitta brothers' purchase.

Doesn't sound like you're all that much more educated than Tim either. To be correct it's "Rhodes Scholar". Maybe you & Tim should take a class together. Albeit, Tim held the belt for quite awhile, not to mention his record is one of the best in the UFC. His wins have been over some of the HW's best. I don't like him personally cuz I feel he performs like an over grown clumsy retard. But I give him props for beating some of the best in the HW div. Oh well, he goes to M-1, that's his loss. I figure that if you wannabe the best, you have to fight the best, and the best are in the UFC. This is for #6 (Ian), WTF is a “road scholar”?

If M-1 wants to pay fighters stupid money, UFC and other competitors will have to match it to stay competitive.

That lasted long... If I were Tim Sylvia's agent, I'd tell him to quiet down, win a few fights convincingly and then wait out to see if M1 turns into anything substantial. If Timmy leaves the UFC for M1 only to maybe fight Fedor once and then watch M1 go bankrupt/shut down, do you think there's a chance at all, that the UFC would resign him for a fraction of what he's currently getting paid? The UFC may have one-sided contracts and they pay a lot of undercard fighters poorly (at least on the record), but Tim Sylvia is doing okay for a guy who no one really likes and until recently was only fighting not to lose and not fighting to win like he was against Big Nog.
