Tim Sylvia

Hello once more fans and friends, and welcome to another edition of “Infamous Moments in MMA History”. Today’s fight is often brought up in conversations revolving around the most boring MMA fight ever. What’s so ironic, and therefore what makes this article so depressing to me, is that both fighters involved in today’s induction were known, and in fact are still known, as heavy-handed strikers not afraid to engage. Maybe it was the fact that both men had knocked each other senseless in brutal, even humiliating fashion. Maybe it’s because, let’s face it, both men reigned as UFC Heavyweight Champion during the absolute worst and weakest UFC Heavyweight division ever. No matter the reason, today’s induction features the notorious third encounter between Andrei Arlovski and Tim Sylvia.

After dropping three straight fights, including a KO loss to aging pro boxer Ray Mercer, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia may finally be on the comeback trail. He’s still a long way away from becoming relevant again in today’s constantly-improving, constantly-evolving Heavyweight division, but at least he’s begun to get some wins under his belt. And speaking of belts, Sylvia’s most recent fight scored him the Powerhouse World Promotions Heavyweight Championship. For two rounds, Tim Sylvia fought fellow veteran and former UFC fighter Paul Buentello, and he did it by doing the last thing anyone who has seen a Tim Sylvia fight expected him to do: he adopted a superior gameplan and stuck to it.

With the July 3 mega-fight between ufc Interim Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin and UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar closer than ever, many fight fans are coming around to the idea that the Heavyweight division is one of the UFC’s strongest, most diverse divisions. Long thought of as the weakest of the UFC’s divisions, barring a few notable exceptions, the Heavyweights have finally taken center stage, and it’s all thanks to several massive men who continue to break and even redefine the mold of a UFC Heavyweight. Looking forward, here are three men that I think will define the UFC’s Heavyweight division for the next several years.

Former UFC heavyweight champion “Maine-iac” Tim Sylvia (24-6) agreed to an interview with Fighters.com before his fight versus Jason Riley (6-1) at Adrenaline MMA 4 in Omaha Friday…until he peeped my questions.

“Chad, I am not going to do this interview,” Sylvia graciously responded.  “I don’t like how this whole thing is coming accross.  Sorry.”

Below are the questions that Sylvia refused to answer along with what Fighters.com could dig-up.  You decide if Fighters.com’s questions were out of line.  Of course, Fighters.com would prefer to put Sylvia on the record on the issues fans are chattering about.   And, Fighters.com stands by everything written here as told by reliable sources, but sources can only speak from their point of view.   It’s unfortunate Sylvia won’t tell his story.
