Tim Sylvia's legacy in ruins


Sylvia-otter_medium

All it took was ten seconds for Tim Sylvia's legacy to become a heaping pile of...well...you know what.

Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia showed up overweight and out of shape for his fight against former WBO boxing champion Ray Mercer. Mercer threw one punch and Sylvia came crashing down like a rotten tree.

It gets worse for Sylvia who will be unable to compete in Affliction's third event due to a medical suspension. Ironic considering Alabama doesn't have a commission to regulate MMA, which was the whole reason why Mercer and Sylvia fought in the state. 

Ignore the recently floated idea of the UFC resigning Sylvia. The damage to Sylvia's persona is irreversible.

Besides why would the UFC bring back one of the least liked champions and fighters in the history of the promotion. The last thing the UFC needs is Sylvia hugging one of their up and coming fighters on his way to victory a la his fight with Brandon Vera. 

Instead let's just wave goodbye to the fighter who creepily looked like the South Park Sea Otters.

lol zak lol

great write up zak.i saw tim sylvia on a blind date show one time and figured him out asap. tim wants to be loved. when he was a champ he would walk around with his ufc belt just to get attention at the stop and go. the freaking stop and go man.(stop and go is like the kuick ki mart here in tx)matt hughes treated him like shit and he still rode the guys jock strap. those kind of people just need help man. tim just needs to find him self.i wish him luck.
