Silence On Tim and Fedor

by Michael Rome on May 3, 2008 5:36 PM EDT in MMA News

All has been quiet for weeks on the Sylvia/Fedor front. The last thing we heard was that Monte Cox is still waiting to get the $2 million signing bonus back. Now, we have an announcement of Adrenaline 2 in September, which will be headlined by Tim Sylvia:

"My next show for Adrenaline will be Sept. 6 and that's going to be at the i wireless Center in Moline, Ill.," said Cox.

The i wireless Center is a 12,000-seat multi-purposed facility that is home to both a minor league hockey team and an arena football team.

"That's basically the Quad Cities, home of the Miletich Fighting Systems," Cox continued. "That show will include Tim Sylvia and Ben Rothwell."

The article goes on to mention the Fedor fight as if it's still happening, but as the days go on I am more and more skeptical. Signing Tim to fight just 7 weeks after a fight with Fedor is suspicious enough, and combined with the lack of news on the Affliction show, I am starting to get nervous that another Fedor fight is about to fall apart. It would be great if someone could come forward and confirm this whole thing is still happening.

Re: Silence On Tim and Fedor

MMA fans have been jerked around by all this Fedor news. I mean, one minute he's signed, the next he's not, one minute he's serious about fighting a contender, the next he's not. WTF?

My belief when it comes to any fight that supposedly includes Fedor will now be, "I'll believe it AFTER I've seen it."

The funny thing is all this speculation about Affliction having an event but there has been utterly nothing on MMA from Affliction other than people saying they're going to fight for affliction but nothing from affliction itself. Thats what makes me wonder about all this.
