MMA fighters need to quit jumping to boxing. While they may be skilled boxers for martial arts, it is a FAR cry to being good against guys who train in only that discipline. Me? Can’t stand boxing, and think you’re avg martial artist would destroy a boxer in a fight. But it kills me when this type of @@@@ happens, and I have to listen to some douche on a barstool,slurring how boxing is the best combat sport and MMA combatants have NO business fighting them.

What makes this really sad is that it was MMA rules. The boxing excuse can’t even be used this time.

Oh dear god, JJ…..I hadn’t seen it and have been out of the loop for a while…..Jesus Timmay, WTF were you doing/thinking. Sad, just sad.

a real pro boxer even at 48 just needed 10 seconds to knock Tim the hell out… that’s awesome!

Rumor has it that the child behind Sylvia in the above picture is to be Tim’s next opponent.

Early odds have the kid at -430.

So is Fedor really that good?? (I just had to say it)

Timmy is SUCH a loser.

i love tim sylvia and his passion for fudgee-os

It’s a disturbing video. Sylvia looks grossly overweight and falls slowly.

All I have to say is BWAHHAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!

LMFAO…..Does this mean Kimbo is better than Timmah?

Fedor has made Tim into an absolute shell of his former self and I predict anyone Tim fights from now on will finish him in under a minute!!! lol

tito beat wanderlie does that mean that tito, is better than every guy heats beat?

Timmy went down like a Redwood, HILARIOUS! You f@cking suck Timmy, you didn’t even ave the excuse it was a boxing match LMFAO, just brilliant.

Fedor sucked the soul out of timmeh! I LOVE IT! He got Ko’ed by a 50 year old man….Sylvia is now 0-2 against GrandPa’s (couture, mercer)….

Mania, this has probably been the worst weekend of my life…shed a little sunlight on my gloomy life and post the video of this KO…THanks!

I watched the event at a bar last night….and there were these 2 obnoxious dudes talking trash about all the fighters acting like they knew everything. THey were trying to bet me that I couldnt pick more winners then they could from the main card…I just laughed it off, continued to talK trash, then jokingly, I was like "I bet you I will pick 6/6 winners. THese guys started laughing…they were like, I will give you 3 to 1 odds that you cant pick all 6 winners….I started laughing and was like “DEAL”….So both guys bet me 60 each to my 20 each….not knowing that the fights happened via tape delay and I already knew all the results. I collected a $120 from those idiotic scumbags! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

war john!

LOL John, show those punk kids who’s boss!

John, that is cold blooded, but I’d have done it in a heart beat. Can’t imagine how stupid those guys felt when someone finally told them. It would be even better if they happened to be posting on mania.

…ehhh, that’s probably a stretch.

Good Job on those guys John.

I don’t remember you giving me too much shit over the Wandy Rich fight, but you picked Wandy right? No shame in it. Wandy did much better than I expected, but Rich did what I thought he’d do ultimately. That’s extends my correct streak to 21 months. But I was nervous.

There is a serious side to this debacle. All of us understand and appreciate MMA, but our sport is still struggling to gain mainsteam acceptance and credibility. A freakshow where a flabby 50 year old boxer KO’s a former UFC champ in 10 seconds does immeasurable damage to our sport being taken seriously. I would suspect DAna White is not amused. Those who don’t follow or understand MMA will now believe anyone with boxing skills could annihilate any MMA athlete. We all understand the discipline and skill required to compete in MMA but most still do not. All they’ll see is the result from this “fight” scrolling along the bottom of ESPN, and that is what they’ll draw conclusions from.

hahaha, NOrmally, I would NEVER do something like that. It was kind of a scumbag thing to do on my part, but these guys were talking so much CRAP, that they NEEDED TO GET GOT!!! lol

Ovaries: I broke one of my cardinal rules of mma gambling. Monsth ago, I wrote a post about “my 10 gambling commandments” on betting mma.

1 of my top commandements was:
DONT EVER BET ON A FIGHTER MAKING HIS !ST WEIGHT CUT TO A LOWER DIVISION!!!!

I need to become more disciplined, and stick to the guidelines that have made me so successful, winning close to 15k in a little over 3 years!

on the main card, I went 1/5 on my bets, but because I bet all the dogs, (minus Al Turk), and that I bet on all the brits straight, and made a bunch of british Parlays, I actually ended up winning a nice amount of change last night. Add on the $120 cash, I won from those suckers in a bar, and I had a really profitable day yesterday!

JOHN- LMAO your my hero..god i hate tards like that. BRO! kentucky is sh*t hole when it comes to MMA. there is hick hole. all they do is bad mouth strikers and wrestlers and brag about how most brazilians in UFC have overrated jitz…just ridiculous stuff man. they suck as…the local events are the most pathetic fights ever…ever wonder how Junie Browning got his attention…by winning and looking by default.

What did I say in all the other posts. Mercer is going to trash timmy. World class vs Joe Rogan world class. Mercer may suck and is old but he still has power and very few MMA strikers can truly put hands on guys. This is too funny. Can you imagine if this was a boxing bout?

Also anyone else kinda impressed how fast Mercer shot for the TD-very clean and seamless from the massive overhand right. Not bad for a 50 yr old man.

Does this mean Sylvia’s fight with Buentello is off for the Affliction card? How can he even make weight, and who cares now anyway? What a career-killer this one was.

Even though it was mma rules all Tim Sylvia tries to box whenever he is inside the octogan, so I do not see this reflecting badly on MMA at all because Tim hardly ever uses MMA when he fights. I remember watching Mercer fight Musashi in K1 a few years ago. Musashi tenderised his legs like a steak with his kicks, it was painful to watch, Musashi won of course. Tim is one of the least skilled MMA fighters out there, it would be bad for MMA if Mercers opponent possesed a higher level of MMA skills.

hahaha good story JOhn. THey got what they deserved. I actually had a similar experience with a buddy of mine on saturday. I watched the event with him at a bar, and I was aware of the the results of the 1st 4 fights. I didnt want to spoil the main, and co-main events for myself. My friend wasnt aware of this and offered me 6-1 odds that I couldnt pick all the winners. I decided to wager $10 to win $60….I picked the Cain fight right, but Unfortunately I picked Wanderlei in the main event.

I guess its true….Cheaters NEVER prosper. But in the infamous words of the scholar, TIto Ortiz….“If u aint cheating, u aint trying” lol

I see what you’re saying, we know it doesn’t reflect that bad, but to the uninformed and casual fans, they’ll just see the headlines “Washed up former boxing champ defeats former UFC champ” and think wow boxing kicks MMA’s ass.

You’re right that Sylvia fought poorly, not using MMA skills. It was naive of him to think he could stand there with a former World and Olympic boxing champ and just throw that lazy jab of his. Like mercer hasn’t fought boxers with skills 1000 times better than Sylvias?? This was like shooting fish in a barrel for Mercer. Coupled with his ridiculous weight gain, this was a train wreck waiting to happen.

Maybe this might be a lesson for wannabe boxers Arlovski and Anderson Silva. Just because you’ve had a few KO wins over MMA stars doesn’t mean by any stretch of the imagination that you can hang with professional boxers, washed up or not!

WOW! HOw many damn people tried this on Saturday?

I watched the event at a friends house, none of the guys I watched the event with are big UFC fans…they are basically finally getting into it because of the new UFC video game.
I HOnestly did not know the results of the fights. AS a diehard UFC fan, I always thought it was pointless to get the results a few hours prior to watching the event. THat makes NO SENSE to me and it makes it not worth ordering the event. He gave me 3-1 odds that I couldn’t pick all the winners. I reluctantly wagered $20 to win $60…after the hardy fight, I got a little nervous and tried to lower the bet to $10 to win $30, but my friend shot me down and wanted to keep terms as they were…so whatever, the night continues and I am squeeking out wins, hardy fight was close, then the Uno fight was close so I am getting really nervous. Now its time for the Cro cop fight…THat was an easy pick for all of us with knowledge…I said, not only will Cro Cop win, but he will Ko this CAN in under 1 round….so another friend jumps in, who knows nothing of the sport, and offered to wager $5 that Cro cop wouldnt knock al turk out….I guess he based that bet on, Al Turk looking like a tough guy, and Mirko looking like a wimp, but in reality, everyone who knows anything about the sport knows that Turk was getting KTFO…I mean seriously, how hard was it to pick cro cop via KO? hahah…so I took the bet, won and my “other friends” paid me the $5 bucks… I then picked Cain, won that fight, and then it was time for Wanderlei/Franklin. I knew it was going to be a super close fight to begin with. THey then show wandy warming up in the Locker room and he looked horrible…So I still wasnt ready to make my final pick…NOw its time for the introduction, wandy is introduced and again he looked like crap! I didnt even recognize wandy when he was making his entrance. He looked like Crap! there was no fire, he wasnt amped up the way he normally is..I knew something was wrong. I immediaterly thought: he was either sick, or severly drained from his 1st weight cut…..so I decided to go with Franklin for my final pick….I honestly thought they were going to award the fight to wandy….but it went franklins way.

When it was time to payup, my friend started making excuses and trying to wiggle his way out of paying me….which I expected anyway…but whats worst is that he is a really close friend, who accused me of trying to sucker him out of money, claiming I already knew the results. THat honestly offended me…those that know me, know that I am an honorable person,,,I could care less about the money…all he needed to do is say that he didnt want to pay me, but to accuse me of already knowing the results in just unacceptable! iN all honestly, I wasnt even going to take his $60 dollars. I would have probably made him give me $20 (because he would have took my 20 had I lost and just told him to smoke me up and call it even…..

If anything you guys know what a die hard fan I am….I would never spoil a UFC event by reading the results 1st…especially considering that this was the 1st mma event in MONTHS, that I got to watch live and in its entirety…I would NEVER spoil the event for myself by checking the results before hand, and I sure as hell wouldnt do that to rob a close friend out of money! AS a gambler, the only time I have ever looked at the results before watching them was in the case of undercard fights that I bet on. Since they usually dont air, I sometimes get the results of the under card fights I bet on before hand, but I NEVER ONCE, got the main card results of a UFC event, before watching it!

Sorry to hear that John G.

That’s funny john… my buddy stiffed me on 20$ he agreed to chip in for the PPV. He drank all my beer, ate all my food, then ran out right when Rich had his hand raised, saying he had to go.

I called him and was like “hey bro, you forgot to pay me” and he was like “you won money on the fights and I just bought a guitar, so I can’t”. Like that has anything to do with it! I’m tight for cash right now! With a busted arm I can’t work! It’s only 20$ but what a cheap douche. He can sit home with his ugly-ass girlfriend and watch the Bachelor while I’m watching UFC 100.

The HW divsion is actually better than Afflictions right now.
Affliction only has Fedor and Barnett. ;)

Wether you love him or hate him, Fedor’s legacy would be untouchable if he can come into the UFC and retire the HW champ. Yes, he has already proven himself, but I want to see him challenged against the UFC’s best. I think he will be as great as ever, but it just seems to be different for some guys once they step in the UFC Octagon. So, I want to see him tested in that arena, and I don’t think it’s a crazy idea, to want to see him there, and I don’t understand the desire (of some) not to see him im the UFC.

It was Sylvia’s fault for making it a boxing match and being naive to think he could out punch a decorated olympic boxing champion.

Sh!t as we all know he is, lest we not forget he is a former two time UFC HW champ, it was only two years ago he held that title, so losing to a washed up former boxing champ really doesn’t do much to enhance the reputation of MMA fighters to the untrained eye. Boxing fanboys will dine out on this for years!

Yeah. So true attakdog.
