    Well at least it took him longer than 10 seconds to be dropped by Affliction.


    His career is for all intents and purposes, over. He may end up fighting on some small shows here and there, but his days of fighting for a major group are over.

    "Atencio added that no one from the California State Athletic Commission contacted him about taking Sylvia off the card, but he felt it was in Sylvia’s best interest to take some time off to heal."

    Somehow i think healing is not why he was dumped from the card.

    Did he not make about 800K for the Fedor fight? He cashed in while he could. I do think he can get a spot on a big show again but he'll need a couple of wins first. Arlovski is in the same boat. KO'd twice in a row now and both times in the first 2 minutes. It's funny though because people still think Arlovski has something to offer while Sylvia should retire. Even though Arlovski's been brutally KO'd many more times in his career. LOL!

    yeah, I thought the same thing.

    I can honestly say, I have always said Tim was a pile of shit fighter. His size was all he had. He moved like a sloth. He created matchup problems for guys, that was all he had. I for one, am not disappointed in the least that Ray KO'd his ass. It shows how stupid he was too, he should have made that fight for after Affliction III. Now he just lost a payday. Dumbass

    I never did understand how anybody could like the guy. He's as boring in the ring as he is out of it.

    I wonder what Tim wears around his waist in public now. Dude wore his UFC title everywhere literally. :laughing:

    He could probably order a new belt through Big-N-Tall's catalog:dunno:

    Sylvia was never that good, he was just big. His size and range were a problem for some guys. He was too strong for other guys like Ricco, he tossed him around like a rag doll. Sylvia is just a big strong dude, thats it.
