Are you kidding me, he seriously wants to return to the UFC? asked White He hasnt won a fight in years and when he did he usually put eveyone to sleep, the only time hes in an exciting fight is when hes getting his [expletive] ass handed to him. Look, he just got beat by a near 50 year old in under 10 [expletive] seconds, how do you expect to be taken seriously after that? he just made MMA look like a complete joke. If he has any hopes of ending his career in (the) UFC he will have to go on TUF, theres no other way hes getting in
that's pathetic, he will have to go to the ultimate fighteratsch I dont like sylvia but the dude was a former 2 time champion. His stand up suck and mercer who is a boxer took advantage of that. Everybody knows you dont try to stand and trade with a boxer. You take him down to the ground like kimbo did and kimbo is a street fighter but he still didn't want to stand with mercer. Sylvia is stupid for trying to strike with a boxer.
Dana once again shows how much of a dickhead he really is. I don't like Silvia at all but please, he could still compete at a high level in the UFC.
Dana's just trying to discredit Mercer's victory by saying Sylvia sucks. He don't want to admit that boxing may ever have the up and up over MMA. Joe Rogan had more sense about this whole thing than what Dana does.
Why not? The whole season with Serra and Din Thomas and Shonie Carter, etc was dedicated to that. That would be a goddam shame if you're right. Sylvia's a ****in' bum, dude, who could never beat the likes of an actual skilled MMA practitioner like Frank Mir. Even young Cain Velasquez'll maul him. Sylvia and Kongo? I'll take Kongo. Actually, he said Sylvia sucks cuz Sylvia sucks and there wasn't one inaccurate thing that he said in that quote, albeit uncouth.
He beat Rico Rodriguez, who had a similar skillset to Mir and may have been a better fighter than Mir.
And he lost to Mir who has the exact same skillset as Mir, yet is not a better fighter than Mir. Btw, I cringe at the notion that Mr. Ricco "no standup" Rodriguez "may have been a better fighter than Mir." Mir is definitely underrated.
Mirs got no standup either. Rico was definitely an A-level fighter, nothing 'cringeworthy' about that.
Sylvia is one of the UFC's best ever champions. Dana is so full of ****, and one day someone is going to shut that mouth up with a beating.
I think hes right that Tim go through TUF to get back into the UFC. I mean cmon half of his champions the last few years were part time plumbers who got on TUF (Griffin, Rashad). So Danas right, people who has MMA as a hobby can be a champ in teh UFC just like that, speaks of quality
Yeh because a guy who has used striking a grand total of once in his career, against a zomified shot to **** jiu jitsu fighter is such an underrated striker :nut
Tim Sylvia is an awkward looking fighter, who everyone seems to hate persoanlly for some reason, but he is by no means a bum. He's a two-time UFC Champion. He has two wins over Arlovski, who was seen as an unstoppable juggernaut at the time. He beat Rico when he was in shape and one of the best heavies in the world, he battered Cabbage when he was seen as the next thing in the UFC heavyweight division. He also shared the ring/cage with the best three heavies ever, ableit in losing fashion. Admittedly the best heavyweights were all in Pride, but remember when Sylvia and Cabbage WERE UFC's heavyweight division? Only a complete MMA neophyte would favorably compare an absolute scrub like Cheik Kongo to him. If Sylvia is a bum, everyone but about 5 fighters are.
