    Hard to tell where he goes from here... are far as being successful goes. He has been beat by very good fighters, so it isn't like he has to retire. However, I don't see him having an extremely successful career from here on out. I really wanted to hear an interview from him after the fight. He shouldn't have left the UFC, because the best heavyweights in the world right now... are not there anymore. Tim had a chance to beat Nog... but he isn't going to beat Fedor, Couture, ect... outside of the UFC. I think that Tim gets destroyed if he fights Arlovski again also. Andre keeps improving his game, and Tim is staying the same. He just doesn't have any great attribute to fall back on, other than being big... which can't hide you when you aren't athletic enough to get out of the way of strikes coming at you.

    Maybe he can go back on that blind date show?

    Tim could probablly fight another one of the Heavys from last nights card no Arlovski 4 hopefully but Buentello or even Rizzo would be decent fights.

    I'd like to see a Silvia/Rothwell rematch. Now that Rothwell has some experience. Wasn't it like one of bens first couple fights? It was like 6-7 years ago.

    They might put Sylvia in with Kimbo due to how much he was open to strikes. Probably not considering he is still too much of a live body.
