UFC former Heavy Weight Champ Tim Sylvia is going to finish his last fight on his contract and move to K-1. Brock Lesnar made $250,000 in UFC 81 against Frank Mir and Sylvia made $100,000 for fighting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the Interim Heavy Weight Title. know thats bull. I like Brock but he doesn’t deserve more money that the former champ Tim Sylvia. Shure Sylvia is not that good of a fighter and he only fights to survive instead of fighting to win. But he had a Title match with Nogueira and for that he deserves more.
“I have one fight left on my contract. I want to stay with the UFC, but I am going to go were the money is. Right now Brock is making more money than me. That has to change. I have a better name than him, and I am a better fighter than him.” - Tim Sylvia
Tim has a big head I believe Brock will smash Sylvia but he has point.
“In case you didn’t know, my manager runs M-1 Global. so I have a pretty good in, so we will see what happens in the next few months.” - Tim Sylvia
If Tim goes to K-1 like other UFC and Pride fightes have gone K-1 will be the next UFC and maby even better.
“I’m used to the UFC kicking me around. It’s happened since the beginning, and it’s never stopped.“ -Tim Sylvia
I think thats bull what Dana White is doing. Our fighters need some kind of a union or at least a percentage of the UFC events and income. Tito is leaving, Randy already left and Tim Sylvia is on his way. Dana better get off his knees and stop sucking Chucks you know what or he is going to loose the UFC.

Lesnar is making more money because he was able to negotiate a better contract. I am sick of people whinning that someone else makes more money. They signed a contract, they work out there own deal. So screw them. I have no respect for people that sign a contract then cry later when they find out someone is making more money than them. That includes randy couture and sylvia and any other pro athelete. Lesnar is as well established as sylvia in mma but he is more well known to the public. People want to see him fight. Everyone is sick of tim sylvia. Fedor is going to destroy sylvia.
