Tim Sylvia: 'The Hinkle fight is off'

Seems like "The Maine-iac" just can't catch a break these days.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia tweeted that he'll no longer be facing fellow Zuffa castaway Brandon Lee Hinkle at the upcoming Adrenaline MMA show planned for March 20 in Youngstown, Ohio.
This comes just one week after the Ohio Athletic Commission denied Wes Sims the chance to rematch Sylvia at the same event because the bout was deemed 'non-competitive.'
"Something else is in the works," promises the former Affliction headliner.
After exiting the UFC in the wake of his loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 81, Sylvia went on to get steamrolled by Fedor Emelianenko in his Affliction debut in July 2008. He then tried to mail it in against boxer-turned-MMA fighter Ray Mercer almost a year later and was knocked silly in just nine seconds.
He restored himself to the winning column with a first-round TKO victory over Jason Riley at the Adrenaline MMA 4 event in September 2009. Though he broke his right hand in the bout, the injury has reportedly fully healed.
Now he looks to make it two in a row -- if he can find someone to answer the call.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for further updates regarding the upcoming Adrenaline MMA show as they develop.

Where is he training at now anyways
MFS doesnt really carry any big talent anymore.
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
You thing Timmie is training?
He’s training in his recliner.
Timmy = Titanic. Fedor = Iceberg.

James Toney...book it
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

This is bobby lasley all over again...
Bas Rutten: He has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Stephen Quadros: Yes, well many of the fighters
have a black belt.
Bas Rutten: Yes, but in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you cant
buy your belt like in say, Tae Kwon Do.
Stephen Quadros: Do you have any belts?
Bas Rutten: I have a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I was happier when we weren't hearing from this guy
Give him Rolles Gracie, similar levels at this point
I think we are the ones that can't catch the break

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, he will forever be an example as to why the grasss in only green in the UFC and chasing money outside of it is fool’s gold.
Or how you should actually keep in shape in MMA if you want people to take you seriously. Or you should never underestimate anyone in MMA. Or you should never crap on yourself in public. Or...

or how you shouldn't wear your championship belt everywhere you go or how you shouldn't go on reality shows like "Blind Date " etc

why doesnt james toney just fight ray mercer
in the cage since he has such a hard dick for mma…and have him prove he can do more than box….if he really wants to do mma then he should prove it by using his boxing to set up a takedown or 2…if he cant do that then shut the fuck up
my dream fight would have to be Brock Lesnar vs Jake Shields...and before the fight theres a video of jake slapping brock's wife...then id like to see shields try to gay porn a win over brock using his butt sex merry-go-round tactics...the massacre that would take place would be the greatest thing ever televised...every limb jake has would look like corey hill's leg...god i hate jake shields
Timmy...
doesn’t seem like a real person. His face looks like those hobbits from LOTR but then you realise he is massive
lol
I won the signed Matt Serra Tee!!!! whoop whoop
In the name of the Fedor, the Anderson and the GSP. Amen.

Tim, save face. Fire that A$$hole Monte Cox
There is still time to save your career. Your 25-6 dammit. You should still be fighting the top, not ray freakin mercer. Repeat after me " I am not a joke" “Fedor didn’t steal my mojo” “Tim Sylvia will rise again” now repeat 1000 times, fire monte, call strikeforce. Were all behind you Tim, you can do this.
AN actual post. Good job. There are a lot of guy worse than Timmy still. If he wants to make money he still can.
This whole thread had me laughing.
JasonFahQ is a troll.
