nobody cares…. just kidding he probebly is gonna leave UFC to fight for EliteXC ….not bad him against Kimbo Slice..he’ll get ruined but it would be a big draw

lol! everybody says i dont care about tim silvia is liar.
in fact even tough most mma fans hate him, im pretty sure you still want to be updated about what’s happening around weather you like the fighter or not, because weather you like a fighter or not infact he’s part of MMA & for sure you like MMA

If he makes an announcement that he is going to be leaving, than the UFC is going to just sweep him under the rug. I dont see him making that announcement with one fight left on his contract. I do on the other hand see him making an announcement on how he will stop hunting deer… AND START HUNTING HUMANS!!! MWUA HA HA HA

Maybe he’s going to announce that he’s gonna win an exciting fight

He’s out.

He’s probably going to say he’s leaving UFC, and then post “April Fool’s” on his website a couple days later.

nobody cares…. just kidding he probebly is gonna leave UFC to fight for EliteXC ….not bad him against Kimbo Slice..he’ll get ruined but it would be a big draw

He would beat kimbo within an inch of his life.

fingers crossed please retire, please retire, please retire

I’m willing to bet an announcement like this means he’s switching training camps… no way is he going to announce he’s leaving the UFC.

If he signs with EliteXC, and Fedor does, and Andrei does, you have the best Heavyweight division in MMA. Add to that Kimbo, Ricco, and others and it is a good divison. With the CBS deal it will be huge. Tim loves Tim and Tim will love seeing himself on CBS. Think how much Dana will love Shaw now, and add to that EliteXC could make Couture vs. Fedor happen and we may see Dana expletive Gary Shaw like crazy

LOL Funniest comment I’ve read all day!!! (YET SOOOO TRUE!) Great post!

Very likely he’ll switch organization.

He’ll pull an Arlovski, fight his last fight against some monkey like Herring or Kongo then move elsewhere for bigger money.

Like Tim or hate him, he’s underpaid for a former champion. And while he doesn’t deserve the BS money Elite XC is dumping, he does deserve more than the 100k that he gets.

i reckon hes goin to M-1 Global and will fight Fedor.

his agent monte cox runs M-1 so its pretty logical.

Fedor vs Silvia is alot better than Fedor vs Hong Man Choi, hahaha.

its definitely a fight i want to see, as Fedor is in dire need for top 10 competition.

Very likely he’ll switch organization.

Did you just say “He’ll pull an Arlovski”?

Because, if you did, you are implying that he will be getting screwed, thrown on the undercard against a boring matchup in order to try and decrease his value as a free agent.

“pull an Arlovski”. You’re an idiot. That is official.

And, I dont think Tim is going to announce he’s leaving the UFC. If he did that, he would all but guarantee he would get “Arlovskied” by Dana. He’s probably just announcing that he enjoys screwing men, and that he thought Horton Hears A Who was a great movie.

oops sorry guys i didnt read further down the page… fedor has parted ways with M-1…

hmm wonder what his announcement will be then?

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

WE ARE OFFICIALLY ONE WEEK AWAY FROM UFC FIGHT NIGHT 13!!!! I CAN’T WAIT.

ATTENTION EVERYONE:

WE ARE OFFICIALLY ONE WEEK AWAY FROM UFC FIGHT NIGHT 13!!!! I CAN’T WAIT.

PLUS the start of TUF 7 :)

Big Tim is going come out of the closet… and announce he and shad Smith are getting married in Mass. Really he is probably taking some more time off or fighting Hong Man Choi.

Very likely he’ll switch organization.

He’ll pull an Arlovski, fight his last fight against some monkey like Herring or Kongo then move elsewhere for bigger money.

Craig is right!

No way is Herring or Kongo a can or monkey.

Oh yeah, Tim big annoncement: I am the new posterboy for Jenny Craig. :)

loyal?

First of all, Tim vs Kimbo; Kimbo gets sliced trying to come into Tim’s reach. Second, if EliteXC manages to put up the paper necessary to sign Fedor, Tim, Arlovski and pay them better than Kimbo (which is what they would have to) I call EliteXC bankrupt by November.

Let me give you all a history lesson which is generally forgotten when stars are born; Tim, GSP, Couture, Liddell, all of these guys would have second jobs if it weren’t for the UFC. Let’s be real and not put the horse before the cart; stars don’t make the UFC; the UFC makes stars. Now you may think that that sucks, but still; don’t be suckered into thinking anything else; and that’s real talk. Seriously, let’s watch Shaw try and do it backwards; scramble to try and sign Fedor, Couture, and Tim. It will only make him and Pro-Elite bankrupt in the end.

Why doesn’t he just make the damn announcement now…No one cares enough to wait until Friday.

#1Id have to say whats going to happen is hes going to announce that he will resign with the UFC for like 4 more fights and they will be his last fights of his MMA Career.

#2Or hes gonna pull an April fools joke. More then likely doh #1

Kimbo Vs Tim would be a great match if Tim doesnt take Kimbo down which more then likely he would try and do. I doubt he would want to strike with him, not to say that Kimbo>tim but Kimbo is damn good striker so why risk anything.

RE-sign

He’s probably going to say he’s leaving UFC, and then post “April Fool’s” on his website a couple days later.

You might have something there.

i dont think so…i think he is gona announce that he’ll stay and that he’ll be fighting fedor under ufc banner. the winner fights big nog for ufc belt leaving randy behind…lol

Its been stated here…but if Tim does leave for EliteXC and Arlovski follows, that will be a HUGE loss for the UFC. They’ve already lost CroCop. Kongo’s stock has fallen since his loss to Herring. A Herring vs. Nog 3 doesn’t sound tasty at all.

Who else will head to XC? Ortiz? Randy? Barnett?

Man…this is going to be interesting the direction MMA is going. Hope not the same path as boxing…

RE-sign.

He’s got one fight left. No way he’s announcing his departure from UFC. Do you honestly think Dana would let him get away with all the huge MMA related events happening outside of the UFC recently. Dana can’t afford to let Sylvia go. Even though he’s boring in his fights, he’s a huge name for the division and the UFC cant afford to lose anymore HW’s.
Come on people. You’re acting like the UFC don’t know what they’re doing. The guy is going to be in the UFC and I would put money that before it’s all said and done, Arlovski, Couture and maybe at the end of it all, FEDOR will be in the UFC.

RE-sign or Camp change.

He’s not leaving.

please say your leaving the UFC tim :)

the ufc didn’t lose cro cop, they let him go. and herring and nog already fought three times.

He is dropping to Lightweight. Its his true fighting weight.

Or he is the lead in “Never Back Down 2 – Timmay Dry Humps”

changes camp

Tims announcement: “I am going to fight cheick kongo at ufc 86”, thats my guess anyway… :)

If he leaves the UFC it will be a major damage to the promotion. He is a good fighter in a division that lacks great fighters, they need to get more HWs (cough, fedor, cough) and not get rid of what they have in-house. AA seems to be leaving as well, UFC is shooting themselves in the foot if you ask me. Doesn’t matter if ppl like big timmey or not (I HATE THE GUY!) but the UFC needs him.

He’s gonna sign with an organization that does NOT test for roids so he might even knock an opponent out instead of winner by massive cuddling!! HA HA :)

On a more serious note, there’s going to be NO HWs left soon that anyone wants to watch bar Lesnar IF he improves. Dana best get some cash spent. The other weight classes are tanked with talent. HW in UFC will soon be in danger of ending up like HW boxing…. CRAP!

I’ll make this clear, i hate Timmy. But if he leaves that would be a massive blow to the UFC. He put in a good performance against Nog so a rematch down the road seems very possible.

Make no mistake the heavyweight division in the UFC is $hit and is desperate for some big names. If Tim and AA go then they might as well just retire the belt.

I find it hard to believe that Dana/UFC will allow themselves to be outbid by Elite. However what we don’t know is the amount of ‘pocket money’ Elite have earnt from their deal.

CBS may well have said “here is a big ass bag of money” make this work, sign some names.

I think he will be announcing that him, and Frank Mir will be fighting a rematch after they are coaches for the next TUF..

I dont think he will be leaving the UFC..

I hope him and Mir are the next coaches, so that no title fights will be held up for months

Im suprised that no one has thought of Sylvia/Mir-2, and them being the next coaches on The Ultimate Fighter..

He would not announce leaving with a fight left. If he did leave it would be a big blow to the UFC.

He would beat kimbo within an inch of his life.

  Tim is to big and most of all too skilled on the feet for Kimbo to even think about surviving. If he had a ground game maybe but since his entire ability revolves around slugging it out he would be in big big trouble fast against Timmy.

He’s not leaving.

I agree

Best possible scenario is that the UFC has signed Fedor and Sylvia will fight him in his 1st fight…..Shove it right up Randy’s ass!

I would rather see Fedor destroy Sylvia then beat up Randy any day. I actually am starting to believe that Randy doesnt even deserve a fight against Fedor.

What qualifications does he have at HW that make him deserve to fight Fedor?
Just Wishful thInking!

Seriously what could this news be? I for one, am not going ot go crazy discussing it all day because to many times someone in the UFC plans a big announcement and then it turns out to be nothing of relevance. I mean seriously, what’s the big announcement:

Sylvia has officially learned to wipe his butt?

He is getting surgery on his webbed feet?

Is he going to be the next contestant on Dancing with the stars?

What the hell can sylvia possibly say of any importance?

As much as we dont like Sylvia, if he leaves the UFC it will be a huge blow to the UFC’s heavyweight division!

I am hearing rumors everywhere that Sylvia vs. fedor in EliteXC.
This cant be true. with still 1 fight left on his UFC contract would Sylvia even be able to make an announcement like that tomorrow, while still under contract with the UFC? Could he even begin negotiating with other organizations while under contract?

The UFC doesn’t let fighters use their water fountains with out getting permission. So could it be possible that Tim negotiated with an other organization while still under UFC contract……..Highly doubtFull!

He would beat kimbo within an inch of his life.

agreed 100%

UFC Big Announcements arent all that big.

I wouldnt be surprised if it was about him coaching the next season of TUF. That way he could try to get him some more fans!

I think that would be soooo sweet if it was news for the new tuf show with him and Mir as coaches……i would love to see a rematch……if Mir won it would make him a top contender again!!!!

he would beat kimbo, everyone looks good until they fight tim then his arkwardness makes good fighters look simple

HE’s announcing a bunch of signed playstations for auction on ebay and that his autograps are half price ($5) during the month of April!!

who cares……………

I think he will be announcing that him, and Frank Mir will be fighting a rematch after they are coaches for the next TUF..

I dont think he will be leaving the UFC..

I hope him and Mir are the next coaches, so that no title fights will be held up for months

Im suprised that no one has thought of Sylvia/Mir-2, and them being the next coaches on The Ultimate Fighter..

that seems to make the most sense at this point in time given the limited info we have.

his big announcement is probably that he was excited to hear about the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT the UFC made a few weeks ago about a frickin bud light sponsor. dont get your hopes up

Tim seems more like a PBR, or Old Milwaukee lite guy to me. haha

I think he will be announcing that him, and Frank Mir will be fighting a rematch after they are coaches for the next TUF..

I dont think he will be leaving the UFC..

Dude thats genious man TUF 8 will feature HW’s, good call, all we have to do is wait and see.

I don’t think he’d announce a TUF appearance because usually Dana makes those announcements (page and forrest couldn’t talk about it until Dana got it out of the way). A TUF announcement is something Dana always does, so I wouldn’t count on that.

Very good point Linx because you are absolutely right. I was the 1st one who posted that he may announce that he is a coach on TUF, but I stand corrected, u r absolutely right because I am willing to bet anything that the announcement of the next season of TUF will come from Dana during the live broadcast of next weeks UFN event which is followed by the 1st episode of TUF 7

BO-RING.

Dear Tim, Announcing a big announcement little more than a day before you make the big announcement is kinda silly. Also, announcing anything exciting with one fight left on yor contract is a bit silly, so I’m not expecting much. Are you shilling for Dana? Did you guys kiss and make up? You know what, don’t answer those questions, because, um, I don’t care.

I am so sick of people announcing when they will make an announcement! Come on already! You got something worth saying, then say it. Stop telling us when you will say something…Its getting really dumb!

I have a huge announcement guys, but I wont tell u until tomorrow! WTF!!!! Stupid and Boring!

He was born a woman?
He wants to be a magician?
He wants to go back to be a circus freak?

Suspense is killing me.

Hes going to announce his next fight that is probably it. I cant see him leaving for EliteXC. Although after the CBS deal they do have money to maybe sign a few more fighters but Sylvias marketability is pretty poor so I dont think Shaw would really be interested in him and offering stupid amounts of money.
Or he could be retiring which will be great for all parties.

He’s dropping to Middelweight.

John’
Nothing for nothing but, I was the 1st one to post that idea about being a TUF coach with Frank…not you!.
Not that I care, I just wanted to point that out..lol

I do agree with what linx and you are saying that Dana usually announces that type of news, but maybe Dana will be with him or something…

I just dont see Timmy leaving the UFC, and the TUF idea is the only thing I can think of, because like you said(john) Timmy probably couldn’t announce signing with a different MMa promotion while still under UFC contract.

i think so too id say american top team and hes gonna train with josh barnett for submissions or hes gonna fight fedor or something! id say more likely hes gonna go to american top team though!

he said annoucements not annoucement, meaning there are a couple things. i think he will resign and be named tuf coach for next sept along with frank mir or that he will resign and fight frank mir or kongo in a co main event in vegas this july. there is no way slyvia is leaving the ufc, besides he still has a fight left on contract and we know how the ufc handles contract’s with one fight left they prolong the last fight up to a year unless a deal is made. tim wouldn’t annouce anything of the sort of leaving if he were, he would do it after his last fight on his contract to annouce something like that. with that said i have no idea why he has to wait till fri and noon, unless it’s a conference of sort.

A) He’s going to the WNBA.
B) He’s writing a book ala Matt Hughes
C) He’ll announce that an even bigger announcement is just around the corner
D) He’ll have to withdraw from making the announcement due to injury sustained Thursday night
E) all of the above

He would beat kimbo within an inch of his life.

this is the truth.

He’s quiting? yes.

i hope it resigning even though i would like to see him fight KIMBO, it would suck for the UFC to lose him. a camp change also might help. things dont seem so good in the Miletech camp right now. leading up to his fight against BigNog when they showed him training he mentioned that things just werent the same at MFS elite, with the camp splitting up. Hughes & Lawler went to form the HIT squad & Jeremy Horn is in Utah. since those guys moved on maybe its time for him to move on as well. ATT seems like a good choice but that may eliminate any possible fights against the Baby Faced Assassin in the future. maybe if he patches things up with Randy he can train Extreme Couture in Vegas. it would be hilarious if he went Brazil & joined chutebox academy, imagine how easy it would be for him to knee opponents in head or face from the clinch. with his height it something he should do more often,that head kick on Tre Trauma Telligman was awesome.

Tim would absolutely destroy Kimbo, EliteXC are still building him up I’d say so they won’t risk

Don’t fink he’s actually leaving either, whoever said it a while ago is right, he probably is switchin camps. To who though?

Maybe he’s dropping to Light-Heavyweight hahahaha

maybe he’s fighting Fedor :)

As much as we dont like Sylvia, if he leaves the UFC it will be a huge blow to the UFC’s heavyweight division![/quote]
I agree, Tim Sylvia would be a huge loss for the UFC. He if he is even in the top 5 HWs in the world it is barely but he always seems to get submitted. He needs to study some more BJJ because he was just a ground game away from beating Nog’s ass. Losing Tim Arlovsky Randy= Who the F#*k is going to challeng Nog.

Tim would destroy Kimbo and who else besides each other would they fight.
As far as him dropping to LHW, not a chance. He couldn’t make the cut if he wanted to.

I don’t think he has signed with anyone else, especially given the nature of UFC contract negotiations going into a final fight. I would not be suprised to hear him say that he will no re-sign with the UFC, and will effectively become a free agent after his next fight. No way he is the next TUF coach unless he was signed past just one fight. My guess: Tim announces that he will become a free agent, switch camps to ATT, and will be open to signing a one fight contract for a superbout w/Fedor under whatever organization is willing to pay them the most – maybe DREAM. The only reason I say that is because it looks like Fedor only wants one fight contracts at the moment.

you know he’s leaving the UFC because he busts out “all my LOYAL fans, stay tuned”. He would’nt use those words if he was staying. FIGHT KIMBO!!

I’m guessing that he’s might say he’s signing on again for 3/4 fightd and that he’s switching camps. I reckon he’ll hang around the UFC. I’m pretty sure he wants to fight both Mir and Nog again some time.

He’s having his melted belly skin removed.

he’s gonna announce that he’s moving to Hawaii with Ben Rothwell so they can get married.

he’s gonna announce that he’s moving to Hawaii with Ben Rothwell so they can get married.

Don’t talk about Big Ben. Wisconsin in tha house!

its to bad that Dana is the 1 who makes announcments about TUF cause him & Mir would have been an awesome rematch at the end of the show. but i dont think Tim has got enough skills to teach,cause he cant teach 6 foot 8 & ability to take a punch. dont get me wrong i big fan of the Maineiac but training with Frank a guy could prbably learn quite a bit.

please Tim re-sign with the UFC.

Its been stated here…but if Tim does leave for EliteXC and Arlovski follows, that will be a HUGE loss for the UFC. They’ve already lost CroCop. Kongo’s stock has fallen since his loss to Herring. A Herring vs. Nog 3 doesn’t sound tasty at all.

Who else will head to XC? Ortiz? Randy? Barnett?

Man…this is going to be interesting the direction MMA is going. Hope not the same path as boxing…

iT WOULD BE nOG hERRING 4!!!!!!!

His big announcement is going to be that he is leaving UFC to get his doctorate in Psychology! Hahaha…actually I hope he is announcing a long term contract with the UFC…BIG TIM WHOOOOOOOO!

i ve got a big announcment today at 2:00 pm pac.

OK heres my announcment

it quiting time now im going home. let the weekend begin.

I think he will be announcing that him, and Frank Mir will be fighting a rematch after they are coaches for the next TUF..

I dont think he will be leaving the UFC..

I hope him and Mir are the next coaches, so that no title fights will be held up for months

Im suprised that no one has thought of Sylvia/Mir-2, and them being the next coaches on The Ultimate Fighter..

This makes some of the most sence so far. Tim might be a good coach and I think that Mir would be also.

I would rather him stay in the UFC, kind of need the HW’s, but if he stays, he could one day get another title shot, wouldn’t be a surprise, and I’m guessing most people don’t want that.

He would beat kimbo within an inch of his life.

I’d love to see that fight. I’d freaking love it!!!

He was born a woman?
He wants to be a magician?
He wants to go back to be a circus freak?

Suspense is killing me.

He has a rash on his genitals that prevents him wearing cotton underpants???

What a dope!

March 27, 2008
I’m sorry to disappoint everybody but some of the big news is going on this weekend. I’m going hunting with Gary LaVox from Rascal Flats. Driving down to Tennessee tomorrow to start turkey hunting. My hunting DVD comes out in four weeks, but this will be on next year’s hunting DVD. Now if you guys were expecting anything else, then you might want to watch HD Net Friday night, Inside MMA. Stay tuned for more. -Tim

http://www.tim-sylvia.com/blog.html

Just sayin this to be sayin it, but, it’s been said quite a bit “if Tim leaves and Arlovski follows”, I dont think Andrei is leaving. I saw an interview a while back where Dana was talking about Andrei, and how it was brought to his attention that Andrei wasn’t “feeling the love” from the UFC. Dana said it was his fault that Andrei didn’t feel respected and that Dana was personally going to try and fix the problems with Andrei, which he created. Now, I don’t think this was just lip service, cause Dana has a massive ego, and for him to publicly say he screwed, I think he was being pretty genuine. And with all the crazy stuff going on with people leaving and people signing here and there, especially with EliteXC on the rise, Dana knows he cant let top notch fighters get away. Andrei is a fighter the UFC cannot afford to lose, and Dana knows it. So, I think he’s gonna make sure Andrei stays put.
