Tim Sylvia vs. Fedor Emelianenko in July 08

I just found out that Tim Sylvia is going to fight Fedor Emelianenko in july. wow! I bet Randy is pissed and Dana White is kicking him self in the ass…lol.  If Dana and the UFC was not so picky and money hungry they could have had this fight on their card or even the Randy/Fedor fight. But not now since Tim Sylvia has left the UFC and Fedor has not faught a top fighter in a little while it only right. I would prefer Rand to fight Fedor but since Randy is dealing with this court shit he is to at a stand still. So Tim has his chance to prove him self to world that he is a top fighter.

I think Fedor is going to mop the floor with Sylvia but you never know. I think it will be an interesting fight. I guess we will see what will happen.

UFC is going to loose some top fighters.

Tito’s last fight is on May 24th UFC 84. Tito’s contracted is up an he said he is going to leave the UFC.  By Tito leaving he is going to start a wave of fighters following him when their contracts or up. Andrei Arlovski, Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick and Tim Sylvia all have contracts ending soon and I would not be suprised if they left. I know Tim said if the UFC doesn’t treat him better he will leave. Andrei is realy needed in the EliteXC because they have no heavyweight talent yet. Koscheck said he will stay and I have no news on Swick.

We all know whats going on with Randy and the UFC. If Randy and Tito go to EliteXC or HDnet fights they will bring a revolution with them. The three biggest name in MMA are Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture and Chuck Liddel. Chuck is not going any were Dana takes care of him. Tito and Randy want out you gotta be a fool if you think nobody is going to follow them.

Tito has this fight for UFC 84 and it will go down in history because after the fight Tito is going to say F%#$ Y*# Dana and bring together a Fighters union or at least lead fighters into other MMA organizations. If Tito wins this fight with Lyoto Machida Tito be unstoppable. But if Lyoto Machida wins Tito will have a hard time getting any fights with anyone.

I  hope the best for all the MMA fighters of the world. You guys are over worked and underpaid, especially in the UFC. Wait sorry the UFC fighters are not underpaid they are being robbed and we all can see it.

I wish that Tito wins (not that I have something against Lyoto Machida cause i don’t) so it will help with the fighters movement and Tito needs to win and get the respect he deserves.

Tim Sylvia is leaving the UFC

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.

UFC 81:Tim Sylvia vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

I really enjoyed this fight. Tim Sylvia is known for his size and unexpected power punches. Witch is why he dominated the UFC heavy weight division for a long time, until Randy Couture came and knocked him off his Pedestal…lol. Sylvia had a 3 in reach advantage, a 5 in hight adavantage and almost 30 lbs on Nogueira. In the first round they went back and forth until Sylvia almost finished early by catching Nogueira with a left hook. Nogueira fell and Sylvia jumped on him and continued with good ground and pound. Nogueira did a good job protecting himself untill Sylvia stood up on his feet and let Nogueira back up. Nogueira then despritley took Sylvia down after getting hit by a big right hand, they stood up really fast and Nogueira played it safe untill the round ended. Round 2 stayed standing to with a couple of take down atepts from Nogueira but Sylvia was not having it. Nogueira landed some realy good hits, some well aimed jabs and some good conecting elbows. Sylvia landed some slopy jabs and hooks but he was not as agresive as he should have been. Round 3 was alot like round 2 until Nogueira pulled off a killer take down and landed on his back with Sylvia in his half gaurd. Nogueira then sweeped Sylvia and put Sylvia on his back and worked from his half gaurd until he gained side control of Sylvia. Sylvia tried to get back on his feet and Nogueira pulled off the most beautiful guillotine ever and submitted Sylvia at 1:28 of Round 3. Nogueira is the new UFC Heavy Weight Champion.
