Tim Sylvia Heads to Japan, Still a Crybaby Asshole

There is a rumor going around that Frank Mir broke Sylvia's arm. I won't believe it until I hear Frank tell the story!

Best headline ever.

haha, excellent headline.. I have a feeling that Tim Sylvia will go to Japan, whip up on some nobody, and become a local (to Japan) hero simply because he's at least 8 inches taller than everyone else on that tiny island.

Tim Sylvia versus Ken Shamrock? Seriously?

"I want to let people that I am better than this guy and there’s no reason he should have been highlighted over me."

BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Ooo..aah..my sides hurt from laughing...ooh...damn that was funny...

Listen, Timmy, your mouth is obviously a shovel and when you open it, you dig yourself a little deeper into that hole that Fedor smashed you into. So think before you speak, okay?

Saying stuff like that and then having Ken Shamrock's, let me say this again, KEN SHAMROCK'S management saying they rejected YOU is douche-chillingly pathetic!

I've recently turned from a Sylvia-hater to a Sylvia-sympathizer. He's kinda like the winner of that Ugliest Dog contest: you wouldn't take him home, but geez, you gotta feel bad for the ugly thing.

Timmy deserves the chance to prove himself. The man does have a 24 wins - 5 loss record with 16 of those wins coming via (T)KO. On top of that, he's been in 8 matches for the UFC belt and won half of those bouts. He's beaten the likes of Henderson, Rothwell and Arlovski (2 outta 3 times!).

I think he still has some retard-strength left in the gas tank. But fighting Shamrock doesn't even come close to the potential chance of redeeming himself.

Long story short: I hope Tim gets a chance to fight some decent competition in Japan. And I still think that Affliction owes Timmy another fight, but not at an $800K pricetag.

Tim Sylvia is just a swore loser.

I think he'll just not gratious in defeat or on his feet! I think his manager told him to turn heel and make people hate him and he's contridicts this back and forth... humble one minute and moaning the next.

I really hope they give him minowa lol or Kimbo Slice would be an awesome fight.

Tim,
Most people won't be impressed by you calling out a guy who ways sixty pounds less than you and fights in a smaller weight class.

Tim's delusional.

a/ He believes that his popularity or lack there of stems from not getting to fight/beat "bigger" names than him. It's not his fault, it's about getting the right fight.

b/ He thinks we are all complete idiots with no knowledge of fighting whatsoever. That him beating Shamrock would have us all bowing at his feet for beating that guy from the UFC. (I think he is trying to follow the make Kimbo a star method).

I mean even if I had no idea of what a fight was, all it would take for me to formulate a mismatch is to see the two combatants standing near each other. Yet Tim thinks we'd be amazed by him beating this "legend".

c/ He already fought two legends and lost. Couture and Fedor.

Trouncing one has been does not a champion make.

For Ouch!:

Just watch any interview, how-to or clip with Frank Mir. He loves to talk about being the one who broke Sylvia's arm in that match.

It's like watching Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite talking about 'taking State.'

What about Overeem? Seems like he needs a fight since he's not fighting Cro-cop?

Tim should fight Hong Man Choi. This wold prove if Tim is still #2 in the world or could possibly catapault Choi fro 4 or 5 right up to #2 that wold be a dream scenario if I've ever heard one.

...you're kidding right?

Damn. That drunk chick defeated him. I wonder if she's related to OB&I?

Ken Shamrock wins this. Didn't Tim Sylvia shit his pants before in one of his fights?

It isn't a rumor. The fight was stopped, the clip can be seen on youtube... Tim wanted to keep fighting, Mir snapped his right forearm in 2, literally with an armbar.

As much as i hate that fat bastard, Tim Sylvia, this opens up some matches i would love to see [including Sylvia/CroCop], and when i say i would LOVE to see them, that's mainly because i've always wanted to see Sylvia unconcious, and i think some of the guys over there can do it :)

Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama is an act that Shamrock vs. Sylvia cannot follow. Sylvia must study all aspects of Takayama's style and charisma in order to have even a small chance of having an exciting fight with Shamrock - let alone anyone else.

@ Mayhem, that was also when Timmey was juicing also....that was before he was caught if I recall correctly....and the whole time he still looked like a misshaped moron, but his biceps and arms were twice the size before he got caught as they are now.

Oh and Ben I couldn't agree more about Timmey, he is a whinny cunt, he's the two worst things I hate to see in a fighter, a complaining asshat and a cheater. I have respect for nearly anyone who gets into the cage being a ametur fighter myself but damn theres only so much a person can take when it comes to whinning like a 13 yr old girl with a skint knee....stand up and take shit like a man Timmey.

This is obviously being set up by Monte Cox, he can't have all that cash he makes from affliction's bloated fight pay to Tim pissed away in the wind, it's about him protecting his money more than it is Timmey wanting to fight Ken because he was billed higher than him...lol...damn Tim of course he's been billed higher than you, he's a legend or was. I don't think he was billed higher or even on the same ufc card but for one of Tims fights, it's just the only lame ass excuse he could come up with to not look like he was just searching for an easy fight with a recognizable name so that he doesn't suffer another beat down and not be offered shit for his future bouts. The politics of the fight game makes me throw up a lil bit in my mouth sometimes.

Although heres to hoping it never reaches the level of ridiculousness that boxing is.....but with Brocks near immediate shot at the heavyweight title, the constant recycling of previous matchups, standgate, everything involving Kimbos career in fact....(oh and while I mention Slice, please Ben dont' ever say Kimbo has heavy hands again, see my post on the Slice K-1 piece for an explination as to why you shouldn't) the zombie eliete debacle....it's seemingly headed to Boxing ridiculousness......now we just need to see fighters rack up 40 plus wins before they face a decent opponent only reason we haven't seen that is because there isn't enough fighters or orgs. for that to happen yet.

Ken's just looking for a payday, it wouldn't surprise me if he's not being paid to take a dive by Cox....sort of like what he did in the Franklin fight....you can't tell me that wasn't a phantom of a ghost punch that lead him to fall, I've watched the gif and fight dozens of times and Rich didn't even connect and Ken fell out like he'd just stepped on a land mine.

All that said, I dont agree with it but hey it's a fiight of course I'll watch it...lol
Timmey and Ken both suck shit as far as fighters go although....not judged on their skill but the things they do that involves the fight and fight game.

Ken didn't take a dive against Franklin he slipped going for a leg because he knew that was his only shot.Who didn't know that Franklin was going to win that fight? Why the fuck would someone have Ken take a dive in a fight no one thought he was going to win anyway besides WWF fans,and for the record Kimbo Slice does have heavy hands, but not much else.Tim vs. Ken if it happens I want to see it.I also agree with the Anonymous poster whose clamoring for Tim vs. Hong Man Choi and Tito/Ken IV. I'd love to see that.I'll also add Kimbo vs. Bob Sapp and Gina Carano vs. Cyborg.

@ Lincoln, the below is why I think Kimbo doesn't have heavy hands, the only fight besides the ones below was the Abbott fight, so you think Kimbo has heavy hands because he knocked out a nearly 50 yr old drunk who looks like he doesn't even train anymore.....come on, the only reason anyone could think Kimbo has heavy hands is because Eliete continually told you so and he looks like he should have heavy hands....but please tell me you or anyone why is it Kimbo has heavy hands....because he stopped a guy in the first (Cantrall) that had been stopped in 55 secs, 26 secs, 5 secs, and 1:35 in the first in his last 4 fights before the Kimbo fight....or is it because he couldn't knock out or justifiably stop even, a man (Thompson) who's been knocked out or stopped by nearly everyone with power that he's faced....or because he stopped a guy (Tank) who's a nearly 50 yr old drunk that looks like he doesn't even train any longer.....which is it, because I can't think of one reason anyone should think he has heavy hands....how about you explain that to me. Oh and shit even in his you tube vids he never knocked anyone out, beat the hell out of a bunch of line cooks and bouncers but he never even knocked any of those bums out.

I think people think he has heavy hands because Eliete continually spewed that bullshit so that they could justify why they were pumping him up as the second coming of christ, because he was qualified as far as training, he has no ground game.....what else could they say to big up their biggest star.

I'm looking forward to anyone explaining why they think Kimbo has heavy hands, in fact I'm going to post a similar question in the forums.....fuck it I'll just copy and paste this...so anyone care to explain check out the forums or answer here, but for gods sake let me know why.

"the dude has unquestionably strong hands" I've got to disagree with you for the first time on this, he hit James "a strong breeze makes me feel faint" Thompson how many times and couldnt put him away....I mean laying out Tank and Cantrall doesn't justify saying he has strong hands. Heres Cantrall's previous three fights before getting in the cage with Slice. L, Imes, 55 seconds in the first....L Huckaba 26 secs in the first, L Huchaba 5 secs in the first. Oh and the fight before that he lost at 1:35 of the first.

I don't even think Kimbo is that great a striker or has that much power, sure he looks as though he would but he's not convinced me. I've seen Thompson be layed out by almost everyone that's semi capable thats he fought, Slice had nearly three rounds of power shots against him and didn't finish him.

I saw it with my own eyes Massiveamounts Kimbo hits like a fucking Mack truck.If someone has a different opinion than you then you accuse them of being influenced by Elite? Where do you get the balls.

You said "I think people think that he has heavy hands because Elite constantly spewed that bullshit". Now are you going to try and tell me that you weren't insinuating that people were influenced by Elite with that comment? Kimbo Slice has KO power.He doesn't have a lot more in his arsenal,but there is no denying he throws power punches,and that's part of his appeal people like to see a good brawl once in awhile.Including myself I love to watch a guy like Tito Ortiz pound someone out with his brutal ground&pound,or someone like Jason McDonald or Josh Thomson pull of a slick submission,and sometimes nothings better than a big brawl with a guy like Kimbo.

Cmon, the dude fought Randy, Big Nog and Fedor...the top of the heavyweights and realized he cant cut it. The thing with Timmmaay is that he is a huge mofo and can win against a lot of people...but not the elite. There is only so much size can get you. So hes stepping his competition down a bit...but its hard for him to get the same moollah for lower competition...so he has to resort to something like challening ken shamrock...who is freaking delusional enough to maybe accept his challenge. Its either shamrock or kimbo. I think timaaaaay vs overeem would be a decent fight, but in this stage of his carreer i think timmaaaaayyyyy really needs a win and im not sure of his chances with overeem. I understand what hes trying to do....but still....Weaaakkkkkk.

Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz IV make it happen.

Tim Sylvia looks like he just came in that picture.
