Tim Sylvia out of UFC, signs with M1 global

So Tim signs with M-1 directly after it is announced that Fedor isn't with M-1... and acts like he is seeking a fight with Fedor?

 

Look out world, M1 is coming. :!:

 

I am aware of that, it just wouldn't seem like Fedor and M-1 would be on great terms considering what just happened.

 

Oh... I didn't read much into it. I've been working all day, and just got a piece of it. I would like to see Sylvia vs Fedor.

Funny thing is I guarantee you 100% that Sylvia came up and asked for a pic with Fedor

 

I think Finkelstein sold it, and Monte Cox is now the president or whatever the position is called.

Monte Cox is also Sylvia, and most of the other MFS guys', manager.

 

This isn't too surprising. As seen by their laughable salaries, UFC is still trying to behave as if they've got a monopoly on the sport and they can continue to grow while still paying their fighters the same, and lower than other new promotions. Thankfully, because people are seeing the money Zuffa's making, it's attracting competition that's willing to outbid them...which really isn't too difficult with the way they're doing business now.

That said, enough guys are still willing to work for peanuts to say they're in the UFC. We'll see how long that trend continues and how it affects the quality of the promotion over time. As long as they keep getting good PPV numbers with that model, there's really no incentive to change.
