Quote of the Day: Tim Sylvia

by Nick Thomas on Jan 22, 2009 12:13 PM EST

I think Andrei Arlovski is a douche bag and I think he's bad for the sport. He's rude to fans. I don't like him.

Tim Sylvia calling somebody else a douche bag, saying they're bad for the sport, and claiming they're rude to the fans?

Although detractors decry (MMA) as a brutal, bloody form of human cockfighting, aficionados know it is a brutal, bloody, totally fucking awesome form of human cockfighting. -The Onion

… plus, I don’t like ‘how taste his big pee pee.’

Nothing to add but both of the above posts made me laugh.

Ha! And he had to correct him on the pronunciation of his name at the end.

It is not Tim Sylvia…..It is pronounced Sylvia(Sil-VEE_A

Somebody wants a rematch

to get his name out of the gutter.

It is like Arlovski left a bad taste in Tim’s mouth or something…

2-1 vs AA

he can talk all he wants IMO

by dbcb on Jan 22, 2009 12:37 PM EST reply actions

I call it a draw

since Timmeh tasted AA’s pee pee.

by dnevil001 on Jan 22, 2009 12:47 PM EST up reply actions

right, and everyone here messes with virgins only….

Timmeh took his women

thats 3-1

by dbcb on Jan 22, 2009 12:52 PM EST up reply actions

Sounds like he took you too.

I keed…

by xFenixKnightx on Jan 22, 2009 1:04 PM EST up reply actions

Of course,

but the line was classic & I have to give him credit for it.

by dnevil001 on Jan 22, 2009 1:19 PM EST up reply actions

He took Arlovski’s left overs that definatly isn’t a +1 at all. If you slept with my ex wife I wouldn’t think “ooh you got me” I would point and laugh at your misfortune (and if I was as cool as Arlovski I might hit you with the pee pee zinger).

Tim Silvia vs Ken Shamrock….yeah that is awesome for the sport. Tim is such a sour grasshopper. Anyone making $$ more and has more fans than him is bad for the sport. Like being a clumsy, one dimensional and extremely boring fighter to watch, is great for mma and fans alike.

by Tommy7 on Jan 22, 2009 12:53 PM EST reply actions

Clumsy, one dimensional, boring AND awkward. I cant stand his fights and Ive never liked him, ever. Twas a glorious day when Randy raped him. :)

somebody’s gotta have that link?

by bubbafat on Jan 22, 2009 12:59 PM EST reply actions

please site sources

hey, thanks for posting MY interview. Can you please site the source of it in the future…kind of sucks when People do not get credit for their work.

here is the original link
www.ringleaderfightnews.com

by Tru777 on Jan 22, 2009 1:05 PM EST reply actions

I am just curious about this, but should the fact that the website is clearly displayed on the youtube video link when loaded but not playing count as citing the source?

by iiowyn on Jan 22, 2009 1:06 PM EST up reply actions

I wonder about that too. It’s pretty obvious the source just by looking at the youtube video, anyone even glancing at the screenshot could see where the story came from.

by who me on Jan 22, 2009 1:14 PM EST up reply actions

Fixed. Thanks for posting Tru777.

by Nick Thomas on Jan 22, 2009 1:19 PM EST up reply actions

For what it's worth..

the source is YouTube when the video comes from YouTube. Obviously we have no problem updating the above story but as has been pointed out…it’s pretty obvious for anyone that actually watches the video. Anyway…thanks for stopping by.

AA will last longer against Fedor than Tim ever did.

And how is AA rude to his fans? I always thought his reputation was good?

by lbk on Jan 22, 2009 1:06 PM EST reply actions

It is...

Timmy is just sour.

by xFenixKnightx on Jan 22, 2009 1:07 PM EST up reply actions

I agree with that

but then again how could he not? 32 seconds

by dnevil001 on Jan 22, 2009 1:20 PM EST up reply actions

Well Arlovski doesn’t charge his fans $20 for autographs, hence the douche bag status.

by Sam Cupitt on Jan 22, 2009 9:10 PM EST up reply actions

Sounds to me like Tim is making a desperate cry for attention. The one constant in MMA is change. You had your time in the spotlight, Tim. Did you make the best of it? Only you can answer that. But your time is done.

by Cmad77 on Jan 22, 2009 1:28 PM EST reply actions

I always like my desperate cries for attention dressed in a nice suit and at a press conference for a promotion it does not fight for.

I promise: no more drunken posts

Don't you dare hate on

Jeanito…now there is a guy that must know what ALOT of other guys pee pee taste like…yeah, I went there.

by Razreshat on Jan 22, 2009 1:34 PM EST up reply actions

he got paid like 750K in his last fight so yeah, I would say he made the best of it. Unreal that a dope like him is getting paid almost a mill to show.

by lbk on Jan 22, 2009 2:08 PM EST up reply actions

I think this Tim hate is overblown. His two fights before Fedor, with Vera and Nog, were both exciting. He pressed action in both of them and threw hard.

What you all forget is he was having back injury problems for a long time and it affected his performances against Monson and Randy. He got surgery after the Randy fight and since then he hasn’t been boring one bit IMO.

by EazyEismydad on Jan 22, 2009 1:55 PM EST reply actions

Wow. Enough with the excuses already. It seems like everyone who loses have an excuse nowadays. If the injury is so bad that affects your performance, then pull out. Shogun, Nog, Timmay, etc. No more excuses, please, for the love of God! This is MMA not Ultimate Excuse Championship.

by cyph on Jan 22, 2009 2:33 PM EST up reply actions

I for one enjoy hearing how creative some people (mainly fans of the fighter) get with some of these excuses.

Can’t we have a few more fighters like Forrest Griffin and Wanderlei Silva, who after their losses just give it up to their opponent and say they were the better fighter that fight?

Probably not.

by The_Gaijin on Jan 22, 2009 2:40 PM EST up reply actions

I’m not making an excuse for why he lost to Randy. I’m explaining why he was slow, flat footed, and resistant to go hard during the performances with Randy and Monson.

by EazyEismydad on Jan 22, 2009 6:42 PM EST up reply actions

That is an excuse for why he lost. Why couldn’t a guy lose because the better man beat him? Two fighters who are equal in every way will fight to a stalemate. A fighter who loses is usually deficient in some way, be it slower, more flat footed, or chinny. Every fighter is injured sooner or later and that’s a fact of any sport. Never mind that Tim Sylvia has always been slow, flat footed, and cautious ever since the loss to Arlovski.

When Mir sucked, he sucked. People didn’t give him a pass because he got in a motorcycle accident. People just accept that he was no longer the same fighter he once was. Now, the excuses are flying everywhere for every beloved fighter. Lesnar didn’t win legitimately, he won because of a lucky shot to Couture’s back of the head. Lesnar won because Couture is too old. Nog lost because he’s been in too many fights. Something must be wrong with him because there’s no way he could lose like that!

If they accept a fight, then they need to make sure they’re prepared to fight. If they step in the ring, then they need to throw away the excuses. Why accept a fight only to go back and claim injury which diminishes the winning fighter’s victory?

Arona was notorious for throwing out excuses for why he lost. This is a contagious disease that seems to be catching everyone like a flu virus. These fighters should just suck it up like a man and admit that the better fighter won.

The Vera fight was a snoozer. Fifteen minutes of Sylvia and Vera pressed up against the fence doing not friggin much. Yes, Vera was equally to blame, but given his last two fights, I think that we can all say that Vera was not the fighter we thought he was, whereas Sylvia is exactly who we thought he was (thank you Dennis Green).

The Nog fight was more exciting, but mostly for Nog’s resiliance and the finish. But I personally am not much of a fan of watching Nog walk into punches, back off, walk into punches, back off, walk into punches, get a take down… Maybe because I’ve been doing that since he fought Heath Herring like seven years ago. Either way, Timmay wasn’t making that fight exciting for me, though he gets credit for effort (he was dropping bombs like a madman).
