Tim was once a world champion, he should be respected for that. he has acheived what most of you would only dream of, save your rediculous hatred for the real scumbags who deserve it, theres plenty of them out there...
Wow with the Sylvia hate here. WTF people? If nothing else, consider that when Mir broke his arm, he didn't know; wanted to keep fighting.
His technique is there, it just isn't pretty to look at. (most of that's on his size) He's a Miletich boy. If you think he doesn't train to be well rounded, you're fucking retarded.
You have to play to your strengths though, and Tim's are his hands and natural reach. He's looking to lurch around awkwardly and catch you with something.
I have no idea why people dislike Tim. Until he fought Randy I believe he was 23-2, then won one and lost 3 in a row which was a big slump but now hes up 2 again. The guy might not be the best, and he might not look pretty. But at 26-6 hes still a solid fighter. Not top 10 but he should get a lot more respect than he does.
@Feralig he's sloppy as fuck. half the people in light heavyweight would beat him. he represents the era when the ufc heavyweight division was a joke, that's why people hate on him.
@Feralig maybe he looked good against cans. keep in mind that while timmeh and andrei were trading the belt back and forth with no real other contenders, fedor was over in pride, doing real work. tim is so bad that randy got knocked out by chuck, and then moved up to heavyweight and took the belt to prove a point. but he did beat the world's strongest man, so he's aight. lol, check his blind date on here.
yeah and for som1 who has such "great" takedown defence he sure did get taken down by som1 smaller either way and on top of that his punched in the face and ktfo defence is even worse YES RAY MERCER it coulda been som1 like forman who woulda killed him not exaggerating either if he really coulda ended him if he ever landed a punch on him like taht he hits ten times harder
oh yeah tims takedown defense sucks so bad, nevermind the fact hes fighting randy couture and may of had to cut weight for the fight and he could be fatigued. i definetly reccomend if you see tim slyvia insult his takedown defense then go for the double im sure the cross face wont hurt at all.
For real, anyone who thinks hes still good watch how badly mercer ko'd him...and it was an mma fight!...Oh and it was 9 seconds into the FIRST round!!!
you guys are hilarious, fedor kicked his ass, big deal. Fedor hits so hard. the guy was a ufc champ, he bit good fighters. so he got his ass kicked by fedor. and that sweep coutour did in that video was legite
no I'm not kidding - even when hes being taken down - I still like the way he fights. maybe its the way he sways - looks like hes dancing out there, sort of. - whatever.
well i guess thats ur prerogative. i myself dont really like watching him fight. If you wanna see dancing watch anderson silva... or btr yet watch Genki Sudo.lol
at first i used to think sylvia did suck and that he only won fights because of his reach but he's actually pretty good and im starting to like him more
Jee I have heard this a thousand times "Tim Sylvia sucks!" well I guess if you beat guys like Arlovsky, jeff munson and defend your title over and over again against heavy weighs you suck. You don't get to the top of the ufc HW division by sucking.
people say he sucks because he doesnt have washboard abs, and they dont like the way he looks. People who fight for a living know how good of a fighter he is.
I agree with the washboard abs. But, I don't think he is a great fighter. I'm not saying I could beat him, but, he isn't fast, he isn't athletic and his personality and attitude suck. I like a lot of fighters with out super physiques (fedor, karo, bj penn). I actually like those guys more because they have fighter bodies and don't look like ken doll. But, I think tim won because of his size and reach. Noguiera destroyed him in seconds on the ground..... seconds!
Getting tapped by Noguiera in seconds doesnt prove much. Before fedor he was the top dog for years. The fact is tim sylva was a ufc champ and beat some very good guys, so to say he sucks is simply not true. If you want to argue if he is in the top 5 or not thats a legimate discussion even top 10.
The fact that "his personality and attitude suck" doesnt have anything to do with his skills as a fighter. The fact is if sylvia looked a different way and "his personality and attitude were different" more people would regard him as a better fighter, which of course is not logical.
You are completely right! I'm sorry. I usually defend the fighters with bad attitudes because most of the time those guys are very intelligent and they play a game to sell tickets. I can respect that. But, the people that I don't like (hughes, silvia, sanchez). They interview poorly and they sound like fools. But, ultimately if they fight well then what does it matter? You're right I'm wrong.
An example of people that have bad "attitudes" that I actually have a lot of respect for are Ortiz, Serra and rampage. A lot of people don't like them for their arrogance, but if you listen to what they say they are incredibley articulate and know how to push buttons. Oh, away from the show, they are all very nice personable guys. Do you see the difference in attitude that I'm talking about? Again, I understand the best fighter (regardless of attitude) is the one who should be champion.
ortiz is a legend. I wish someone would rip serra's jaw off so I would never have to hear his annoying ass accent ever again. Rampage...I just don't buy his whole gimic.
You think this way until you meet him. Read his book, and you will have a lot more respect for him. It's a credit to his intelligence that he can talk mad trash to hype up a fight. He uses his brain to make hype for a fight.
Dude shut the fuck up. I've seen Tito speak outside of MMA pay per veiws and interveiws. The guy is a dick all around. Go suck his dick somewhere else.
Why are you so worried about tito's dick? Are you gay? that's okay if you are. I'm not judging you. Have you told your mom yet? Atleast you can get married now in california.
Very common insult reply towards someone who just said dick or cock. How simple minded of you. We can all see here who really is fond of tito's dick. I bet you have posters all over your bedroom walls.
haha, respectful. You do know that after he lost to forest he went on a real life rampage and ended up hurting several people while drunken driving as well as generally going fucking nuts, right?
Turns out he hurt a pregnant woman and possible hurt her unborn child.
the drunkenness is correct, but i think the pregnant woman thing is a rumor.
I think he went under a quassi-depression, and a panic diet. White said he was on nothing but water and energy drinks for 4 days, and that's what made him a little crazy
That's outside the fight buisness. And its the first recorded incident from Jackson. If you watch any interveiw or pre-fight/post fight film of Jackson, you'll see he has always been respectfull and cheerfull. About why he went nuts, people on the inside of the buisness don't think it was depression over the recent fight, but rather family problems or something else unknown.
he wasn't drunk, they ran alcohol on drug tests. He was apparently on some crazy religious fast. He got a new religious tat and was fasting for 4 days without sleeping. he had no business driving.
im a big fan of Arlovski and would love to see him fight Fedor, but watch when AA hurts opponents or is hurt him self, he stumbles doesnt know exactly what to do, doesnt flow from a knock down to a submission, now see how fedor handles him self,AA is a long way from being on level with Fedors technique, i wouldnt take anything away from fedor he doesnt feel it vital to fight AA, BTW biggest thing stopping them from fighting is the UFC
Gonzaga isnt on Fedors level. Look at when he got his nose broken in the fight against Randy, he had the ref check it out. Fedor got his nose smashed by Crocop and didnt even blink. Gonzaga dosent have the kind of heart that Fedor has.
