Sylvia Considering Move to M-1?

i have to agree that brock making soo much is wrong, it is just wrong.  The guy has done zero, zip nada in mma.  Tim is right to be mad about that….But, i’m not sure if i agree with tim that he has a bigger name than brock… so many rednecks err people watch big time wrastlin’ that i would think Brock has a bigger name.  Tim is deff a more rounded fighter, by far and it’s sad the ufc paid Brock soo much more than experienced fighters. 

wonder what the ppv #‘s were compared to others cards.

He fought Vera, no?

To the original poster, it may be “wrong” to others who have been there longer and more “skilled”, but hell people have fought for MUCH less, Forrest Griffin fought Dan Severn for $250. Jeremy Horn has fought for free. Where mma is now, the fighters can actually make full-time careers out of this.
And your exactly right, that’s the WHOLE reason Lesnar was paid that much. All of the fans he would bring crossing over from wrestling to mma. I checked out the WWE website and saw them advertising it. I don’t know exactly what stake they have in Lesnar’s career, but knowing McMahon he has to be getting some back action.
What’s funny this is exactly what Syvlia was getting on Couture’s back about, like he “screwed” him by beating him and then not giving him a chance to get “his” belt back.
Couture did the smart thing. He got out on top and has an opportunity to fight THE BEST Heavyweight there is and for a LOT of money.
Thing about Sylvia, he may get paid more somewhere else, but I doubt it. He’s big and doofy. His own training partner, Hughes, accused him of not having heart in the past, skating by on being big. That’s why the fans don’t embrace him. He fights to win decisions and when he gets beat all he does is bitch about how something was wrong. Loss against Arlovski he said he came back too soon after breaking his arm to Mir. Losing to Couture he said he was “sick”. Losing to Noguera he wasn’t AS bad, but you got the feeling he was pissed at himself for not keeping at bay for 3 more rounds just to win the decision, because that’s how he operates. But with Big Nog, he knew Nog gets stronger and doesn’t gas as is evident with his wars in Pride and against Fedor. As in Big Doof Syvlia’s case, he looks like he gets tired after the first round most fights.
Most of Sylvia’s fights are boring as in Monson and Vera, he just wins decisions, NOT fights, OR fans. In Pride, he would have a totally different record. As their rules, one of the keys of scoring is ALWAYS going to finish the fight.

Now that the heavyweight division has this BIG talent pool, I think Sylvia is getting out while the getting is good.
He couldn’t beat Noguera. He can’t beat Crocop, Heath Herring, Cheick Kongo, AA can beat him. He saw the writing on the walls. Hell, I think if Lesnar’s first fight in UFC was against Syvlia, Lesnar would’ve won. The only reason Mir won was because of his sick bjj.
Sylvia is like a walking Franken-Doof.
Sylvia is making it out to be a money thing, which it comes down to money too, but you can’t make money if you keep losing.

What would be some Dream matches in UFC would be
Tim Syvlia Vs. Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture Vs. Minotauro.
Lesnar would win as would Minotauro setting up those two.
But Randy is smart because he knows he can’t beat Nog, and he was lucky Crocop was beat by Gonzaga. Gonzaga got a lucky kick then just kept trying for the same thing against Couture, Crocop is a more skilled, seasoned fighter. So Randy leaves looking unbeatable, and wanting the best. He wants the best, for a big payday and knows when he loses it won’t look bad, because NO ONE has ever beaten Fedor.
