Tim Sylvia ‘Extremely Embarrassed,’ Ready to Fight:

"Affliction didn’t want to do all the [press] and then have me show up and the athletic commission say, ‘No, he isn’t fighting.’". "I understand it, but I am ready to fight."

Sylvia also claimed he was in great shape and is ready to go as soon as possible. Sylvia mentioned Japan as a possibility, saying, "That is a place I have always wanted to fight."

how was he is in great shape again? if he had wanted to still fight in america being over 300 pounds pretty much makes that impossible. I doubt timmy can get weight that well. I see Tim vs HMC in the near future

Seriously, how was Tim not in the Super Hulk Tournament?

Because they have standards

jk, Tim is the man. This actually may be the best thing for his career. He might actually get his focus back now. Give up this boxing fantasy and just get back on the treadmill

Tim Sylvia would like to appear in the next season of hit MTV show Bully Beatdown:

“If everything goes right, I will be on the second season of Bully Beatdown. What I want to pitch to them is, bring in one or two bullies that bullied me, and what I want to do is take the money – the ten or twenty thousand dollars you win – and donate it to charity, I don’t need it,” Sylvia revealed.

This is exactly the fucking problem!

Tim Sylvia is extremely insecure – why is he worried about beating up on bullies from his childhood?

You don’t want to see Tim beat on some dude who stole his lunch money in third grade?

If that went down they’d have to change the name of that one episode to “Bullies Keep on Bullying”

Ironically enough

Ray Mercer was one of those bullies…

This is a dude that was bullied by Jens Pulver.

Tim Sylvia ‘Extremely Embarrassed,’

That should be the understatement of the year right there.

I wonder if its more embarrassing than shitting your pants.

I dislike Matt Hughes.

by MonkeyCHops on Jun 17, 2009 5:23 PM EDT reply actions

oohh

thats a good question, what kind of pant shitting conditions are we talking about though, in an elevator, crowded room….

In the ring?

And another Tim interview:

Fighters Only: Did you watch arlovski fight Fedor?
Oh yeah, I was ringside. There was nobody happier than me. I was happier than Fedor I believe. I don’t like Arlovski, he’s a piece of shit.

Fighters Only: Bit strong that isn’t it?
We just don’t like each other. We fought three times, I seen the way he treats fans and I don’t agree with it. I don’t like the guy. Some people you like and some people you don’t like and some people just rub you the wrong way. He rubs me the wrong way. And I’m friends with his ex and I think that bothers him. He was all butt-hurt over that. We’re good friends. She is a good girl.

by Nick Thomas on Jun 17, 2009 5:28 PM EDT reply actions

isn’t tim the one with the reputation of charging fans for his autograph?

oh, and that might be the first documented case of a grown man using the words “butt-hurt” in a legitimate interview.

He rubs me the wrong way

I feel the same way about you Tim.

by proflex on Jun 17, 2009 9:50 PM EDT up reply actions

Holy COW

Literally, Holy Cow! I’d be embarassed to be seen looking like that! I can’t believe he actually believes he should still be fighting looking like that

all you gotta do is...

Anyone else think he looks like a Fat Jaime Varner in that picture?

Japan is a good place for him.

"I and ready to fight" and I "was in great shape and ready to go as soon as possible"

Yea, I’m not falling for that again.
This is why people don’t like you Tim, because you don’t take responsibility for your actions nor do you take your job seriously.

if the shape he was being great at was a bucket of KFC, I’d agree, otherwise, not so much. He could probably kick my ass, but hitting him in the face seems to be all it takes if his past two fights are any indication. At least he has a 100% connection rate with his strikes in those fights.
