The problem is Dana White isn’t into cross-promotions. So it don’t matter if a fighter is free to fight elsewhere. Unless he has a signed UFC contact, he ain’t fighting in the octagon. That’s what kills these type moves. I agree with him because then it turns into boxing, none of these guys will be fighting until the promotion company works out all kinds of money haggling. The fighters may get more, but they will fight way less

I like Tim Sylvia and think he still has gas left in the tank. As a career move though, the Adrenaline concept is pie-in-the-sky stuff. As Diesel-Power suggests the heavy weight talent at the moment is pretty thin on the ground so i just can’t see it happening. You can bag the UFC all you like, but they work bloody hard to put their shows together and they have a solid group of fighters. Adrenaline has two fighters… I think Tim probably had no other choice. The UFC may have shoved him? He doesn’t want to be seen fighting in another, current “lesser” organisation in the states? he probably wouldn’t want to go to Japan both for the lifestyle and the potential B grade competition? What option does he have. It’s adrenalin or nothing, even though Adrenalin may actually be nothing….

Sylvia is a big joke, the only impressive thing he has ever done is shake Arlovsky into self doubting. I hope he gets knocked out by everyone, he is a knob, a bafoon and needs some real tough guys to pound on him.

Monte Cox is a fool. He got snookered into the Fedor and M-1 Global mess and look what happened, no contract, no fights, no moe M-1. Now Adrenaline, and he signs his own client and convinces him that he will make more money with him, even though he has no fighters. Thus the non-exclusivity of the contract. Adrenaline is no more an MMA organization than Dana White is a philanthrapist. The thing is Sylvia and Co. just signed on as clients to an MMA agency nothing more. Simply put Monte is the pimp and Sylvia is the ho.

Well, judging by what M-1 did with Fedor, looks like we’ll have to see Tim vs Hong Man Choi or Sum Dum Loser or whatever. Then in a year from now, we can whine and complain about how Tim doesn’t fight top competition anymore. Then Randy signs with “Adrelin” and they all sit on the shelf fighting losers. Maybe M-1 is where former champions go when they retire…

Doesn’t matter anyway.

Oh joy, another organization.

Seriously the talent pool is pretty dry right now so I don’t know where they are gonna go to fill up their roster.

I hate all these minor organizations who pimp out their top 1 or 2 fighters and than the rest of the card is a bunch of bums no one cares about.

I wish it was just UFC and Dream. I want all these other organizations to fall through.

I would love to see Big Tim vs Kimbo, since Gary Shaw is always saying he’s willing to put his fighters against any fighter out there.

[quote comment=”393571″]lets see if he actually fights 5-6 times a year like he said he wants to. it would be cool if he was that active, but I don’t see Sylvia fighting more than 4 times a year.[/quote]

Maybe he’ll fight in japan and get super ripped. Maybe with some roid rage he’ll fit the nickname maniac.
