Tim Sylvia
Props: Mr. Sunshine

In the interview Tim Sylvia does not go into specifics, saying that fans need to purchase the pay-per-view (PPV) to find out what will be revealed tonight during UFC 79: “Nemesis” telecast.

However, it’s speculated that “The Maine-iac” will challenge Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the vacant heavyweight title at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” on February 2, 2008.

Stay tuned. In the meantime, for more background click here.

I’m pretty sure it is Dana White going to say it and I think Tim will beat Nog.

I hate hype for the UFC events that isn’t the fights since its usually only half as amazing as the hype for it and is just logical information that comes out weeks before. Like when they claimed that you needed to watch the Spike VGA’s to find out the other coach of the TUF.

Actually I think his announcement will be either…

… The title will be done over 3 PPvs (8 man elimination Tournament)

… He is doing a draw for someone to go hunting squirrels with him.

… That the UFC is creating a Super Heavy Weight Division.

… That he will retire.

… He will be fighting Randy for the title (He and nog are fighting for the intirm title).

… That the UFC is making him the Default Title holder…

I would have rather seen Gonzaga vs. Noguerra or Arlovski vs. Noguerra

Tim should have had to face Kongo….Kongo would have destroyed Big Tim

Check out this picture of Fedor facing off with his new years eve opponent Hong Man Choi…..Crazy size difference, Fedor looks like a midget http://www.sherdog.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=702558

If this announcement is just that he will be fighting for the title I’ll be pissed. Who care’s he is the most boring fighter of the last two years. If they announce a heavyweight tournament for the belt that would be awesome. Brock Vs Mir, Nog vs boso (siva) and other heavywieght on that card for the belt would be awesome.

Mr. Sunshine is awesome, but his biased against Hughes is ridiculous.

I like Tim Sylvia though, says whatever is on his mind.

Hasnt it been report and he will be fight Nog on the 2nd of feb. I think what the big announcement is going to be the fact that it will be aired on CBS. I read earlier in this week about that.

I’m personally hoping he’s going to retire. If that doesn’t happen I hope he’s pulling names for someone to go squirrel hunting with. I definitely don’t want to hear him say he’s fighting for the title.

Big Nog is going to retire Sylvia from the UFC

The UFC needed Sylvia 2 years ago, but now he is dead weight

The fans hate, he doesn’t put on a good show, he is just a big goofy and unentertaining fighter.

SEE YA Tim, RIP

Yep. I really doubt Tim can KO Nog and I know he can’t grapple with him so I can’t see him winning. I really hate Sylvia, he is the main reason I never like the UFC heavyweight division since he is always in the title picture and he sucks so bad.

NO one cares what TIm Sylvia has to say and we’ll all boo him whatever the f*%& he say’s
I too would have rather see Gonzaga vs. Noguerra or Arlovski vs. Noguerra.

For god’s sake DAna White, You basically fire Andre A. and now it seems like Tim S. is getting a title shot.

Ummmmm Tim s. Should be fired not the pitbull!
and let you hal of famer Shamrock finish out his contract, especially t o all you RANDY c. haters that hated he did not uphold his contract well the ufc wont let A.A. or Shamrock even uphold their contract and they want to fight!?!?!?!

you mma fans waffle too much!!!!!!!!
TIMS like DANA gotta go say it loud say it proud!!!!!

Hmmmm, I can see Kongo here instead of Big Nog for some reason. I hope its not, but I would not be surprised.

Where the hell is Arlovski? This is getting out of hand.

Bring back the PITBULL.

Are GSP and Kang from America, Brazil or Russia? Aren’t these guys real fighters. Concidering the relitivly small population of Canada, they produce Many REAL FIGHTERS. Let me guess ,your from USA.

Niether of those guys should be fighting for the title.
You Gotta Earn Your Shot .. They Dont Deserve This.. Tim Is One Of The Most Boring Fighters To Watch .. He Blows. And Nog Aint That Entertaining either.

They Should Have Some Sort Of Tournement To Decide Who Is The Champ.

I used to like to watch big poopie, but his style of fighting not to lose is why people (or me at least) have turned against him.

If he’d wake up and realize that he’d be popular again - if he let it all hang out and fight with agression, the fickle fans would climb right back on the bandwagon

Brandon Vera ….
Cro Cop ….
And AA ….

3 Heavyweights I wouldn’t mind holding the belt.
Instead we have the 3 snoozefests at the top.
Big Tim, Big Nog, Kongo

Why do people still have faith in cro-cop?

He’s not qualified to invade a kindergarden class!
