Please Dana, bring back Tim Sylvia. Have him fight Fedor in a rematch.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:16:09 from 67.5.120.77
Must need $
in 2-15-2012 at 10:27:34 from 64.108.232.66
Does he not realize he is a slow, plodding heavyweight who hasn’t beat a real fighter in like 5 years. He is a rent-a-cop.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:29:17 from 71.196.122.225
you vs newcomer to ufc Shane del rosario hands down tim will lose
in 2-15-2012 at 10:31:37 from 64.108.232.66
He lost to Ray Mercer. Bottom line.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:33:47 from 12.102.8.104
He probably can.. If it includes the flyweight, featherweight and lightweight division.
But I still would not put money on him.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:41:57 from 201.226.3.134
yeahhh to bad that the other 20% is the whole UFC HW division. jajajajaja What a poser!
in 2-15-2012 at 10:45:14 from 24.212.38.181
Morecraft and beltran probably but not 80% of the guys out there.Not until he’s really in shape.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:46:01 from 81.145.182.82
Hahahahaha…. dream on Big Tim… dream on.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:49:05 from 12.102.8.104
On another note, Tim Sylvia vs Mirko Crocop would be great, they both used to be on top back in the day. Also:
Tim Sylvia vs Patt Barry
Tim Sylvia vs Gonzaga
Tim Sylvia vs Mark Hunt
Tim Sylvia vs Matt Mitrione
Tim Sylvia vs Brendan Schaub
Sylvia would lose to most of these but the fights should be entertaining.
in 2-15-2012 at 10:51:54 from 96.229.104.113
He showed up at 265, 31% bodyfat in his last fight. Very impressive! Big ole bunch of “WAAAAAHHHH” from the Maine-iac
in 2-15-2012 at 10:52:41 from 200.87.222.236
that looked pretty honest tim looks sad i do hope he gets back to the ufc it is true he would beat guys like struve , barry,nelson schuab .. he just needs to get a couple of good wins… hope u get back to the ufc tim good luck
in 2-15-2012 at 10:55:56 from 67.172.1.216
Tim is a huge man… but just not getting anybody interested.
Can he hang with 80% of the UFC guys? Yea, I think so… but nobody would be excited enough to warrant a big contract.
His pro-wrestling stint in Japan makes his case much worse.
in 2-15-2012 at 11:20:43 from 24.2.95.168
Bring him back let him fight struve after that call out. He’ll get his ass broken standing up the only chance he’s got is laying on top of him… and then he’ll get subbed. I don’t not like you tim thats not it. We stopped wanting to watch you when you got koed by mercer in 8 seconds. you couldn’t be 10 percent of the guys in the ufc. I hope they feed him to barry to get just 1 of those strikes on him he’ll get koed quick
in 2-15-2012 at 11:20:48 from 24.212.38.181
@onepunchKo
Roy Nelson and Tim Silvia arent in the same league.Nelson could do everything he wants to do with fat Timmy.Nelson is a batter grappler,striker and beleive it or not a better athlete then Tim.
in 2-15-2012 at 12:01:40 from 108.0.208.172
He deserves a shot at least… Worst thing is he gets sent down to the minor leagues again. He had a UFC title in his day. Keep in mind the competition is much better now. I just don’t see any harm in giving him a chance.
in 2-15-2012 at 12:37:56 from 38.114.86.104
To get back in the UFC you have to get in shape and start whooping some ass. Not make videos you dummy.
in 2-15-2012 at 12:44:04 from 75.83.170.194
Doesnt even close to 265 in this video. If he wants back in let him fight Ray Mercer again, bring him back to reality.
in 2-15-2012 at 12:57:17 from 168.156.115.9
Is Tim forgetting that during his reign as UFC champ people gave two shits about his stalling, style, and point fighting. Does he forget that the only thing he is famous for is getting his arm snapped by Frank Mir. He has no chance!
in 2-15-2012 at 13:01:55 from 190.188.27.221
You guys don´t like him because he is fat and makes boring fights many times, but you forget to check his record, he has an amazing mma record, and yes has some bad loses, but who doesn´t? he is not claiming to be the best, he is asking for a chance in the UFC and i think he deserves it for sure. Actually, even with his boring style of fighting he could get (decision) wins over Struve, Rothwell, Mittrione, Barry, Nelson and Browne
in 2-15-2012 at 13:09:13 from 129.24.207.111
We dont hate you Tim. I agree you would be better in the cage than some of the guys you named. I actually think the UFC was not very loyal to you being one of the OG fighters, considering that we are still putting up with Tito covering up into the fetal position every fight. Goodluck!
in 2-15-2012 at 13:13:28 from 70.156.77.102
I met you when you were the “CHAMP” and you were a total douche bag, tool and though you were too cool for school. That’s why people don’t like you. Now you are a bumb and sound humble. Interesting.
in 2-15-2012 at 13:15:51 from 72.240.165.108
correct me if I’m wrong but his UFC record is 8-3 and he’s won 5 out of 6 since 2010.
give the guy another chance. put him on the undercard. the UFC brings in a lot of chumps for those.
I wanna see if he can get in better shape. If he doesn’t they can just kick him to the curb again.
in 2-15-2012 at 13:23:14 from 82.20.148.98
tim u suck !! u always have and u always will !!!
in 2-15-2012 at 13:52:31 from 69.178.146.114
The only thing he could beat them at is eating burgers… with the exception of Roy Nelson.
in 2-15-2012 at 13:56:07 from 72.149.181.87
He would beat the s*** out of all the 3 guys he named. And he was right about being able to beat 80% of UFC HW roster as well as. I mean he is no champ but compared to a guy like Christian Morecraft, Struve or Pat Barry Sylvia is a legend. He is also the most accomplished HW in UFC history. (if you disagree name someone else who defended there belt 3 times successfully)
in 2-15-2012 at 14:02:43 from 69.210.241.201
Tiiiimber is dreaming again,Bozo the clown will KTFO in 10 sec flat timmy!!! People hate you because you suck!!!!!!!
in 2-15-2012 at 14:04:27 from 24.89.99.174
I wouldn’t mind seeing Shane Carwin slam his fists into Timmays face…Make it happen Uncle Dana! or at the very least let old man Cro Cop fight Timmay, loser leaves UFC forever!
in 2-15-2012 at 14:11:45 from 70.71.166.108
Id wouldnt mind watching Tim fight again. Id pay for it. not as a main card but he was fighting back when I first started watching so im invested in him.
in 2-15-2012 at 14:18:34 from 90.180.109.224
and 80% fighters can beat you 
in 2-15-2012 at 14:28:42 from 109.130.24.183
he got some good punch but that fat guy is a joke!!!! dream on fighting back in the ufc u’ll never have the level if u even had it once…
in 2-15-2012 at 14:33:29 from 71.171.90.44
this man is delusional……kinda sad. I can see him killing himself.
in 2-15-2012 at 14:46:27 from 70.27.130.84
i like how his pitch is that hes just like us. some big ol fatass just like allvof us, therefore we should love him! give me a break.. you suck! lose some weight prove your dedicated
in 2-15-2012 at 15:05:02 from 155.97.18.152
He could. I’d love to see Tim back in the UFC.
in 2-15-2012 at 15:41:45 from 87.2.206.78
true story
in 2-15-2012 at 15:43:18 from 198.202.6.180
Dude need to find discipline a real camp that aint afraid to make his lazy ass work and maybe…and I do mean maybe win a few fights and and ask for a opportunity. Hell even Mark Hunt got wise.
in 2-15-2012 at 15:44:16 from 67.83.142.164
This guy just fills me with so much pity. It genuinely hurts his feelings that people boo him, and that’s just sad as s***.
in 2-15-2012 at 15:54:55 from 66.87.119.150
…this. Would NOT make me turn my bar stool around at a FREE fight. I’d focus on the beer. Good luck Tim….just was never a fan…
in 2-15-2012 at 16:11:46 from 75.140.22.26
really heartfelt message. i dont know if he can do what he says. probable 80% of current HW fighters could beat him. But he just wants to fight in the UFC again. I get it.
in 2-15-2012 at 16:37:21 from 108.14.66.164
I want to see this dumpy bastard get ktfo’d by matt the meathead
in 2-15-2012 at 16:40:02 from 108.14.66.164
Psyco….i agree….tim loved the ufc and his belt. I think he would blow the entire heavyweight division to get a chance to fight in the ufc again. if dana denies him he might swallow one of his many guns and pull the trigger.
in 2-15-2012 at 16:48:58 from 173.12.79.201
pretty heartfelt right there…someone said he was a tool when he was on top, everyone deserves 2nd chances, he sounds humble now. I saw make it happen Dana. Timmy has to promise to play the lean strategy for 3 rounds tho.
Tim vs Struve/ Tim vs mitrione
in 2-15-2012 at 17:14:38 from 70.33.75.76
Let him fight Palhares. I know they are in different weight classes, but I’d like for him to take away his leg.
in 2-15-2012 at 17:47:32 from 99.32.81.167
I wouldn’t mind seeing him in the UFC. Silvia vs S. Struve\M. Mitrione\B. Schaub would be interesting enough for me to watch…though I think Mitrione would def. beat him. I think he has a good chance against S.Struve and B.Schuab. Good luck to you Tim!
in 2-15-2012 at 18:08:54 from 76.229.186.74
Like we want to pay to see slow and stupid. We might as well bring back Ken Shamrock then to.
in 2-15-2012 at 18:17:50 from 201.235.22.89
keep dreaming tim
in 2-15-2012 at 18:22:23 from 76.109.84.78
Its true what he says though, he can beat alot of these guys that you KNOW dont have a chance in hell to be a champion….what hes missing is that they get paid $1000 and Tim wants way bigger bucks…which UFC is not gona pay….anywhoo he sounds desperate
in 2-15-2012 at 18:27:22 from 71.106.66.84
let him fight if he can show some real devotion and lose a little fat and gain some muscle and speed he can woop most HWs but not all it would be cool to see him fight like a barry or struve or nelson even though i think they can beat him it would still be interesting if he showed up in semi shape
in 2-15-2012 at 18:47:54 from 50.55.252.159
Lol, I hate this guy.
Don’t ever bring this goofy bastard back to the UFC. I wouldn’t even want to watch him fight in Strikeforce.
I still like watching Couture punch Sylvia right in his huge head.
in 2-15-2012 at 18:54:43 from 24.52.195.11
Can he even make 265? I wouldn’t mind the UFC bringing him back. He can have a few good match ups. He’s still slow and sloppy though.
in 2-15-2012 at 19:13:20 from 108.194.250.45
Did I really just click on this link and think to myself this might be good. LOL! Tim is beyond evolving into a fighter of today. If he can train with the elites of the cage and get in great shape he might have a chance he has had over 5 years actually get there but instead he is still the lumpy outta shape ogre. But I do give him props for thinking he can still do it.
in 2-15-2012 at 19:58:59 from 76.65.35.90
at $60 a PPV I don’t want to watch a Tim Sylvia snooze-fest fight, even on free TV I almost don’t want to watch a Tim Sylvia fight.
in 2-15-2012 at 20:06:18 from 75.226.73.66
i want to see a rematch w/ tre “who took my titty?” tulligman
in 2-15-2012 at 20:24:20 from 208.102.133.127
NO.. F ****** way.. this dude is out his gore.. Maniac would gas out 3 1/2 mins into the first round against everyone he just mentioned.. He simply cant hang no more.. Dude is seriously delusional..
in 2-15-2012 at 21:01:24 from 99.64.59.240
I’d have to agree with Tim on Beltran, Morecraft, Russow, Einemo, and a few others that Tim would obliterate. Title shot? no, but who cares he is a great gatekeeper for “good enough for the UFC?” guys.
in 2-15-2012 at 21:22:48 from 68.12.35.96
He really didn’t say anything too asinine in that vid. Other than obvious pandering I see no reason to hate. I’m not real sure what his recent record looks like, which is the main criteria for being brought back into the fold aside from marketability, which honestly, I feel like he is very marketable. Personally I would LOVE to see him fight a middle or bottom level HW in the UFC just to see if he has anything left or if its all talk. I come from the older generation of MMA fans, so I would get a kick out of seeing him fight.
in 2-15-2012 at 21:26:06 from 65.78.130.27
Sylvia wonders why people don’t like him. My problem with him is he’s ALWAYS been entitled. He simply thinks he deserves s*** more than other people for accomplishing the same s*** he did.
Did he really compare himself to a 5 time title holder across 2 weight classes? Sylvia! Get real man! You had the heavyweight title when the division was EXTREMELY shallow back when Arlovski and Monson were contenders. Go do Bellator’s heavyweight tournament! Or go try to get into Strikeforce, but don’t expect to go from Kraniotakes to the UFC.
Earn that s*** and quit whining, Morecraft is on thin ice and Beltran already got canned by the UFC so they’re terrible examples. But thats Tim, always entitled, and always whining.
in 2-15-2012 at 23:09:04 from 64.180.54.146
Great lets see someone either snap a limb off or KO Big Mac Cheese Burger + Fries Tim.
in 2-15-2012 at 23:44:20 from 68.231.103.103
good luck i think you can do it
in 2-16-2012 at 00:21:38 from 71.63.37.211
I agree with kaution35 and Sunfish Hero. If Tiiiiiiiimmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr wants another chance, he needs to earn it. Get in shape, win a few fights in BAMMA or SHARK, get into a Bellator tourney and win at least 2 fights, and then you might have a case.
Of course he would probably lose any fights in any of those orgs. in his current shape. Even in his best shape he wasn’t great. He was good because the UFC’s HW division was horrible back then. Even Couture came back from retirement when he saw Sylvia as champion…
Timmeh is living on the past and that’s never good.
in 2-16-2012 at 01:59:47 from 68.37.231.159
I wouldn’t mind seeing Tim back in the UFC. But he is sounding extra desperate here. He might get a few wins.
in 2-16-2012 at 04:51:56 from 69.137.86.103
Thiss?? This lost any of the respect i had for sylvia since his ole days of wwe style match against the couture. Randy needed to rebrand himself after retirement and the UFC helped him by setting up the Sylvia fight. I knew it was fixed when i rewatched it over a few times and that’s what made sense, aside from the clear rehearsal that fight was. Hook & bait tactics by the hype machine dana nowadays i can’t beleive anything he says. Which is why you didn’t see him in the UFC Rio press conferences because people there actually wanted real answers rather than what dana usually talks about. Proclaims all the time, its tiring.
And this,
“Pound for pound, hes the best, scariest we have”
Oh yeah dana, thanks on that. He couldn’t sell me himself if he tried because i dont think everything is the best thing out.
in 2-16-2012 at 05:01:54 from 74.164.29.47
Nice “Visume”…video resume! Lol! On a serious note, this video is actually pretty sad. I guess Tim’s just now realizing that he’s been washed up for years and that he might have to actually find a job! This seems like a last cry for help, in hopes that the UFC (or someone) will pick him up so that he can make some money. I seriously doubt it will be the UFC. Atleast it looks like he’s been eating good. Jeez! How about u get in train and get in shape before making the video Tim. Come on man!
in 2-16-2012 at 07:46:48 from 81.132.168.219
What a plonker! He is just like the turd that won’t flush, I never really liked his game, very boring fighter, but you never know with the UFC, I mean look at einemo, I had high hopes for him and he turned out to be a doughnut. These guys are done.
in 2-16-2012 at 16:09:47 from 91.113.60.61
Yes he can beat 80% of guys in UFC. Flyweights, bantamweights, …
in 2-17-2012 at 05:49:48 from 68.52.134.157
Bought a private training session with this punk via $2000 donation to Make-A-Wish (Auction). He bailed and never did it. Cockknocker
in 2-17-2012 at 15:47:08 from 99.231.12.86
you guys are lames!!!! why put tim down??? he gave you guys entertainment for years!!! all you negative haters need to pull your skirt up and get a diaper change!! i’d love to see come back and redeem himself!
in 2-17-2012 at 23:35:44 from 64.231.0.165
Tim go home and and think about how much of a peace of s*** champ you were. dont try so hard s*** breed.
in 2-18-2012 at 20:06:45 from 74.14.215.251
One of us? Really? The average guy isn’t 7 feet tall 300 pounds and would still lose to a flyweight Timmeh. I personally hate you because you are the only guy to have shat yourself in the cage and because being a rent a cop is almost as bad as being a real pig
in 2-19-2012 at 20:22:05 from 66.228.26.19
He has fans?
in 2-10-2013 at 02:01:49 from 74.233.145.77
