“On Friday, around 12:00, I’ve got a couple of big announcements to make about my career. So all of my loyal fans will want to stay tuned to my website because this is huge.”

– Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia — who has one fight remaining on his current contract with the promotion — reveals via his official Web site that “huge” news about his career is forthcoming. Setting a date and time seems a bit strange … wonder what it could be?

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

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

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

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.

And, I’m almost positive you meant “whether”, not “weather”. And, I dont care where Tim goes, and I am no liar.

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.

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.
