Sweet. I’d rather see AA fighting someone though.

Hope Nog signs the contract. Hope 2 c Nog with the belt around his waist.

I`m sure Big Nog got his pen ready to sign the dotted line.

There is no way that Nog WON’T sign the contract…but i can see nog losing(shit)…Timothy likes to clinh and hold his opponents against the cage…Unfortunately it works..And Nog isn’t as well versed in the Cage as Timothy(shit)..but of course i will be shouting for Nog..all day everyday!

Well looks like Tim is gonna be champ again.this sucks.where the f–k is Arlovski.this is bullsh-t

Tim looks like the biggest of the three hit men brothers in ‘Smoking Aces’

Yeah now all you that wanted sylvia 2 win against Vera this is what you asked for.
I don’t like either of these fighters and am anxious to see cro cop make his way 2 the top and Brandon Vera once his hand heals.

hope timmy doesn’t win

Well, at least the Mir/Lesnar fight will be interesting. Unfortunatly, I can see Tim winning this fight too. Will still root for “Big Nog.”

What has Tim done since losing to earn a title shot? Kongo or Gonzaga deserve it more than he does.

Sylvia will smash Big Nog. If Heath Herring nearly beat him, Sylvia win by KO or at worst TKO. Sylvia will be UFC HW Champ again soon.

I am not sure why everyone hates Tim, get over it. He had one bad night with Randy … do not expect this again. And apart from a coulple of ’safe’ fights, he has some great knock outs.

William W - how the hell does Gonzaga deserve a shot more than Tim. Sylvia would kill Kongo or Gonzaga.

YEAH, Slyvia will beat Nog…RAndy, he just kicked his ass. Even though I kinda like Big Timmy, he’s not a half bad guy and he’s getting more comfortable in his interviews. He lost a lot of credibility after getting caught using steroids and then his lackluster wins with the “Pitbull” and everyones favorite Couture crushed him. He’s not a posterboy, kinda slow and awkward and bigger than his opponents I guess all those things make him out to be the villian. Personally as time goes by I like Big Timmy more n’ more… he’s shown a lot of resliance coming back the way he has so he gets my respect.

Andrei deserves the shot more than Tim. Andrei has two wins (neither of which were overly exciting) and one loss since losing the title whereas Tim has on lackluster win over a guy he outweighed by 50lb and simply pinned up agasinst the cage to score a victory. If Tim wants to be a real champ, he needs to step it up about ten notches and be agressive. Nog will kill him if he approaches this fight the same way he approached the Monson fight. Not that I care. I can’t stand Tim Sylvia. I hope Nog tears his arm off and beats him into submission with it.

On the other fight, McCully will get destroyed by Kongo. I predict Justin’s head landing in the 20th row. Guy barely beat Hardonk, who has zero ground skill and sub-par striking. Kongo has minimal ground skill and excellent striking. Bye Justin!

bor-ring.

I think the reason everyone hates Tim is that he is one the most boring fighters we have ever seen. When he was coming up for the belt he was crushing guys. Now he just likes to hold you and hope the judges see that as control. when someone takes him to the ground all he does is ask the ref to stand it up. Whenever he wins one of his boring fights he goes on to say that he is gonna “knockout” whoever his next opponent may be. I think you have to throw some shots to do that Tim. Just to back up what i am saying, 5 of his last 6 fights have been very boring decision victories. He doesn’t finish. If you recall when he fought Monson the ref had to take the both of them aside and TELL THEM TO FIGHT!!! I hope Nogueira breaks his arm like Mir did and we never have to sit through one of his boring fights again.

All I can say is the 3 best Heavyweight fighters in the world are not in the UFC!

Jeepers i cant wait for this one. I think im just gonna slit my wrist so i wont have to see it. Talk about two boring fighters……Oh wait thats tim and nog

The Tremors, LOL, I thought the same thing.

(Sigh) As much as I don’t wanna jump on the Tim Sylvia hating bandwagon, and I’m really not, I just don’t wanna see him as champ again. His title reign represented just how dismally unstacked the UFC’s heavy weight division is. If only I had a time machine I could go back and fix a few things to get it back on track:

1. Get Dana White to pay Randy what he feels he deserves to keep him happy. I like Randy though I think he is one of the top five overated fighters in the sport today. He is a likeable guy and brings a flare to the sport that few can.

2. Get Cro Cop the training and motivation he needed to KO Gonzaga.

3. Teach Dana White Russian negotiation edicate: IE refrain from “Crazy f’ing Russian” quotes and strong arm Fedor’s manager from pushing his own agenda on Emelianenko’s career endevours.

What an effing disaster.

Agreed

Nogueira will win by anything, he’ll tool Sylvia big time!

This will, at the very least, jazz up that piece of shit fight card they have scheduled for that night! As much as I hate to say it I see Sylvia thumping “Minotauro” and then taking on Gonzaga. That will be a freakin’ war to watch.

there is no way big nog can take this to the ground..
sylvia will be the next champ, but not for long, brock lesnar would take him down at will and that is gonna be nice..
gonzaga would probably beat him as well..

im with you boyz - where the FUCK is Arlovski !!

Don’t much care about this one. It seems to be a fight for 4th or 5th place in the world. Can’t even rank Sylvia that high, even if he wins. Well, at least Tim isn’t getting a title shot after losing 2 in a row in LHW division. Maybe he’ll win this one and one more, then leave the UFC with a billion people on a “greatest of all time” bandwagon because there’s nobody left that’s worthwhile for him to fight. S**t, what a huge clusterf**k.

I would much rather see Gonzaga then Timmy but oh well, it should still be a good fight.

One bad night with Randy? r u on crack?
and a bad night against Verra
and a bad night against Monson
and a bad night against Arlovski

He is the single most boring fighter EVER!
This is a horrible decision!

UFC should have re signed Arlovski give himh the title shot that he was promised after beating Werdum

It should be Arlovski vs. Noguerra for the title…
Tim Sylvia vs. Kongo for #1 contender…..and this is supposed to be the best event of the year…..hardly….Best fight on the card is Marquardt vs. Leites!~

Everyone pray that Noguerra becomes champ, because I cant deal with Big Tim…..and all of you haters need to give Noguerra a break….u all say he had a sh*tty performance….he got hit with one blow all fight, a viscous kick on the chin, that he still took like a man and fought through it….Noguerra is more then qualified to hold the UFC title…..Lets just hope he rips Tim’s arm off!

am i missing something here?

I think Tim needs another fight before he should get a chance for the title, more so after the boring performance against Vera which is his only win after losing the tile from Randy. Heck, Arlovski has been swept under the carpet after a boring fight with Werdum but atleat he has got two wins in a row and more fan following than Big Tim. The heavyweight division has lost a lot of steam after Randy left when it was finally starting to shape up.
I would like to see a Grand Prix style tournament like in pride so the championship would mean something, but doubt the UFC would warm to this idea. It would be good to see the next TUF featuring proper Heavyweights to bring in new talent and options at heavyweight and Brock Lesnar should have been given an easier fight than Mir to see where his game is at and to build him up a bit more. Huge failure if he looses on the UFC’s part. Overall not convinced with this fight and don’t think it is worthy of Heavyweight Championship status at this point.

Jerome Le Banner blasts Tim Sylvia
TN: If Tim Sylvia wins the heavyweight belt in February against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, any chance of us seeing you coming to the US to try and knock him out?

JB: (laughing) It’s been a long time since anybody talked to me about the “big sausage”…that guy is so unspectacular. He’s so ugly and annoying. Seriously, it would be a pity if the UFC had him as a champ again…he’s not Couture, Noguiera or Fedor! When I challenged him like 2 years ago, I was just tired of seeing that guy and reading and hearing fans and commentators saying he was a world striker, etc. Don’t get me wrong, the guy is good, he has some skills and a little bit of heart, but…is this enough? Just ask your US readers: Does Tim Sylvia have the skills, the style and charisma to be one of the greatest? I say no…

I would love to fight him! I would love to fight at least once in the UFC cage. It would be a very nice moment. If it happens, I’ll beat down this uncharismatic fighter. I’ll show the US fans what an exciting fighter is; not a conservative motherf*cker who just wants to win without giving a good show…

Can you imagine, I come in to the UFC, I knock him out and I go back home (laughing). It would be such a mess! If he loses versus Nog, I’ll be happy to fight him! Hey, Dana White, make this happen! Or imagine a season of “The Ultimate Fighter” show with Sylvia and I as coaches and we fight at the finale! It’d be great. I’m sure I would train the guys well! “USA versus the world” or “the search for the next heavyweight champion” (laughing). I think the fans will love this show!

Official offer from M-1-====M-1 made an offer to UFC for Couture vs. Fedor===-

——————————————————————————–

“We got an official offer from M-1 to the UFC to do a co-promotion for the Couture-Emelianenko fight, and they (UFC) rejected that offer. Really, the only thing standing in the way for that fight right now is Dana and the UFC. Obviously, M-1 is happy to do a co-promotion like that. It only serves to help them. I think the UFC is looking at it the other way, and it’s like why do we want to help out another organization? The fans want to see that fight. At some point, you have to put that first.”

I keep hearing rumors that Bisping’s 1st opponent at Middleweight will be Charles McCarthy….What a can!

I hope this isnt true…Bisping goes from Headlining a pay per view event vs Rashad, to fighting Charles McCarthy…..say it aint so!

Aren’t we sick and tired of Tim “bitch tits” Sylvia already ? I mean he is not even worth mentioning in the Heavyweight picture it’s sucha joke how desperate the UFC is coming off as. The guy doesn’t resemble anything close to being an athlete and it’s a disgrace to himself and the sport.

Champion and # 1 in the world Randy Couture

2. Antonio Nogueira
3. Gabriel Gonzaga
4. Cheick Kongo
5. Andre Arlovski
6. Mirko Cro Cop
7. Tim Sylvia
8. Brandon Vera
9. Heath Herring
10. Fabricio Werdum

I really want Big Nog to DESTROY Tim Sylvia. Not only do I hate Tim Sylvia but I would much rather see Arlovski fight Big Nog instead of Sylvia. It would be painful to watch Sylvia and Arlovski 4. What if ARlovski won that bout with Sylvia? Arlovski vs Sylvia 5 for the rubber match> lol

Sylvia cant finish fights. Hes the heavy weight Sean Sherk.

FUCKIN BULLSHIT!!! Should be Kongo vs. Sylvia. Kongos won his fights inpressively and has been in the UFC for a couple fights. Big Nog almost gets KO’d in the only fight hes had in the UFC and gets a shot? Im not excited about this fight at all. I was more excited about Vera vs. Sylvia then this fight.

Can someone please tell me why everyone HATES Tim so much???

Might not be the MOST exciting fighter on earth but seems like a nice humble guy… Unlike say… who springs to mind.. Matt “The Biggest Dick Ever” Hughes…

As for that Vera guy… you can say Tim is lame but he SUCKED against Tim!! BIGTIME!! Really not bothered about seeing Vera fight again.

I miss AA as much as the rest but lets face it… the guy is a head case and mentally not up to it lately.

Still I wouldn’t worry…come on.. seriously…NOG is gonna Submit Tim, Tim won’t KO Nog for sh*t.. so unless he allows himself to be pressed against the cage for 5 rounds i think he’ll win it!

Exactly right Spider. I was going to post something similar, but you saved me the trouble of looking up Big Poopy’s fight record. I don’t really think either one of these guys truly deserves a title match right now, but we need a HW champ, and these two are as good a choice to fight for it as anyone else I suppose.

I dont know why Tim has so many haters. First of all I do not like the way he fights and I agree with the pople who think he is boring. But if you take a look at his record he has an amazing one. He lost to Frank mir ,Andrei and Randy.Who are these three. Three formers heavyweght champs. What I dont understand is this , Tim is boring that is what at least people think. How about the fighters who fight him.Why dont they do anything in the fight?I know the guy is too big and is very difficut for fighterS to deal with that size. Brandon Vera is such a great fighter.Did he do something?Yes BS. Andrei got knocked out in his second fight, THIRD FIGHT what happened. Who was boring Andrei or Tim? Think about this, Fedor was going to fight in the UFC and as far as I know one of the issues in his contract was not to fight Tim first. At least that was what I heard. I am not sure about this one. Why tim again?The guy is big .What do the fans want him to do? Knock fighters out in the first round?That cannot be posible at this point where evrybody is impoving the game every day.

He’s overweight, sloppy, and boring to watch…the guy is big, that’s all he has going for him.

Go Tim

The only guy who can claim to be better than Tim is Randy. The rest of them are scared of him, for good reason! cant wait for this one.

Nog loses by brown trousers in the dressing room before the fight even starts.

not very exciting news at all. not to mention any word of a possible mcully fight sends me straight to snoozeland.

The only fight involving the web-footed Tim Slvia that appeals to me is Sylvia vs. Kongo….I am sick of watching Sylvia hold a height and reach advantage over all ihs opponents and doing nothing with it. Stick him in there with Kongo who can match up to his size and reach, and is probably a better striker…..and lets all find out how limited sylvia is….

I really believe Kongo is a terrible match up for Tim and I am dying to see Kongo KO his Bitch ass!

McCully??? Why in the hell would they put him up against Kongo. What has McCully done to deserve a fight against a top five heavyweight. AA vs. Kongo would be a good fight. Why can’t the UFC make this fight happen?

I bet AA lands in M-1 in 2008. AA vs. Fedor. That would be a good fight for M-1. Not a as good as Fedor v. Couture, but good.

believe me win or lose timmy will be fighting kongo next

I prey tim loses. we need some actual talent in the hw division–couture’s departure is a huge loss and i hope the ufc has learned a valuable lesson: pay your fighters.

Kongo is very much improved and could probably take tim. But lets face it: Rampage could ko anyone in the hw division without really breaking a sweat.

I think houston might match up well with tim since neither really relies on their ground game. i’m just pissed the ufc is trying to give the belt back to one of the most borring fighters the world of mma has ever seen. i don’t think nogger’s got a chance unless he’s able to catch tim in a frank mir style submission.

predictions:

GSP beats Huges via fatality
BJ ko’s Joe (that fat f)

Tim Sylvia is the last person I want to see be HW champ. Nog by arm bar in rd 2.

OMG Tim “press the Snooze Button” Silvia..if this guys wins the title I swear I will shoot myself. I hope ARN breaks his arms and legs so he will be out for 2 years. He is ugly as shit and is just drown right boaring and annoying.

I would rather see Danny abahdi fight for the Heavyweight title than Tim Sylvia

i just so pist that AA isnt even in the running they should have him fight nog for the title and check vs tim for the number 1 so in the end it should have been check vs AA god the ufc pisses me off Id rather see bj(over rated)penn fight for the heavyweight title

This is ridiculous. Neither Tim NOR Nog should be fighting for the HW title. Where are Gonzaga, Arlovski or Kongo? At worst it should be Silvia against one of those three. At best it would be Gonzaga vs. Kongo. They’ve earned the right to fight for the UFC HW title. Silvia vs. Noguerra will be a snoozer most likely…but the worst of it is I could care less who holds the belt afterwards.

Anybody notice that picture of Timmy is from when he was all roided out?

i really hope big nog wins, i cant stand slyvia.. somewhere after his fight with tra tellingmen (if thats how you spell his name) he lost something and replaced it with a disgusting looking gut and excess body weight… he used to be ripped and skilled and fun to watch.. now its like, when he comes on the tv, you leave the room and wait for the fight to be over and the next one come on.. the ufc seems to be crumbling under the pressure of “top dog” and making bad dicisions like this recently.. tim sylvia vs big nog for the title.. sylvia does not deserve it at all.. he only beat 1 guy since his loss.. bullshit… the hv div. needs immediatant CPR to revive it, it is a dying division.. sylvia needs to go back on stanozolol to lose weight and get his image back.. or something like that

[quote comment=”240130″]Anybody notice that picture of Timmy is from when he was all roided out?[/quote]

actually, i dont think it is.. that looks like his celebration for beating arlovski for the first time, and he wasnt on roid, he was on stanozolol and it was to lose weight.. the guy has enough bad shit goin on, he doesnt need an internet rumor that he’s on roid.. its a banned substance and he used it for cutting weight and that was over 4 years ago

I look at this as the glass is half full, not half empty. Either way, the UFC will have an active HW champ who will probaly face Kongo or Gonzaga (pending his fight with Werdum). Plus if Tim wins, the anti-Tim contingent can look forward to having a new favorite fighter…Tim’s opponent in his title defenses. If Tim loses, well, you got to see him get worked over in February.

MMA math doesn’t work, but if Tim stops Nog, what does that say to all the people screaming that Randy should fight Nog?

John and BW you guys must be in bed together. I am the biggest Arlovski fan, but here is a few pointers for you two knobs:

- In the Sylvia v Arlovski fight, the Pitbull was actually responsible for at slow performance to
- Arlovski’s last fight against Werdum was just as boring as any others

Once again you two have proved the point - Tim isnt aesthetically pleasing so let hate him

If you p**fs want men with ripped bodies go and buy a men’s health magazine, or go watch a body sculpting competition.

Steve …

nice call on the big size - because you only need size to bear Arlovski twice, Monsoon on the ground, Vera in stand up … yeah, not much skill required at all …

Wanker!

Minotauro=next ufc champ

I think this is a step backwards for the division. It is really too bad things came to this. Tim has proven he is very beatable, and not a top notch guy when it comes to marketability. Hopefully Tim will come to bang instead of clinch!

Once again you two have proved the point - Tim isnt aesthetically pleasing so let hate him

Dude, first of all, you are not the biggest Arlovski fan, I hold that title, but it’s all good. AA was not responsible for the slow performance, he was dealing with Sylvia’s game plan of not engaging and counter punching for a lucky knockout. And that is one of the many reasons people hate Tim, not just because he isn’t aesthetically pleasing.

I actually think thats going to be a great fight.

Tims not my fav fighter, but he as a lot of heart, and is a reliable champ…he almost always comes out to do what he has to in order to win even if he loses some fans by being boring. Good for him, he is a smart guy when it comes to his career in the UFC. Chuck Liddell is an example of what happens when you don’t play it safe once in a while like Sylvia is…after a couple losses your one time “fans” boo you. Nog has almost no chance of submitting Tim. Tim is good on the ground…I mean shit he out wrestled Monson, and fended of Couture on his back for an entire round. Noone can stand with him (accept maybe AA) right now, and if they do good he will just clench, and beat them with his size. Although he is awkward his skills are very well rounded. The only thing he lacks is speed, but he’s not even that slow. Sylvia will be champ again, and will continue to be champ, or lose/quickly regain his title for several years to come.

I would hate to see sylvia as champ again
