Why I Love: Tim Sylvia
by Natalia Baage on February 07, 2010
over the stoppage after Herb saw Timmy's arm pop and called an end to the fight. Tim's a tough, stubborn bugger, isn't he! Was it the smartest move? No. But he later went back to Herb Dean and thanked him for saving his career.

Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Make the joke. "Herb Dean couldn't save his career." Or "His career was gone soon after, anyway." Say whatever you want, but I just have this feeling that everybody's been a fan of Sylvia's at one point or another. Sometimes the boys who were over at Miletich's got a bad rep, but Sylvia was just always a little awkward as a fighter, and that kinda made him stand out. The haircut, the height, the way his jaw seemed to hang slack during fights...

But he held that belt. In addition to two wins over Arlovski, he beat Brandon Vera, Assuerio Silva and Jeff Monson. And even though he's gone through a slew of losses recently, they don't erase what's he's done during the rest of his career. He's not the best, and he's not going into any Hall of Fame, but it's hard not to like a guy who took a chance on his talents and went for it.

I think I would have to take an awful lot of "herbal medicine" as you say before I felt any stirrings of love for Tim Sylvia, and I would probably pass out before I ever reached that point. He almost killed my interest in the UFC- that horrible, horrible display that was Sylvia vs. Arlovski III was the headliner of the first UFC PPV I ever saw, and it nearly made me swear off ever ordering another one again. Well, actually it did, but that resolution didn't last very long fortunately. :p D_V: who's next? with every knew fighter you profess your love for you slum it a little more. The Hitman: bj would kick sylvia ass Mtx: Ive never had much respect for Tim but I think I lost all of it when I saw him in some dating show... Natalia Baage: Ok.... I didn't grow up in this country... I clearly missed it. That's scary. So... I guess I was right about him ending up on TV! :D Wandering_Minstrel: All he had to say was, "I'm a cage fighter" and get her liquoured up. Insta-bone. Instead, he felt compelled to start talking. ...and yes I've seen it already. Internet Tufguy: You guys are so full of shit. Internet Tufguy: Just said what I was thinkin' when I read your stories about scoring due to extravagant bullshitting. Cage fighter thing might work, though.:p Internet Tufguy: screwed up my double quote Hizoka: hard to think highly of a guy who say things like "Half of the fight game is 90% mental" and the fact that he gave up a chance to get laid by a hot chick becasue he didn't want to take his UFC champ belt off arlovskiviako: Hey hands off th... ah nevermind, *takes out camera* arlovskiviako: We will put extra muscle into it. Wandering_Minstrel: While you guys are flexing your muscles during your internet high fives (which is so homo by the way)... I'll be off with Natalia getting trashed at the local pub, talking Gianna Michaels and looking for bi-curious ladies. :D arlovskiviako: I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. I want to be on you. Mickey knox: I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded. Hizoka: i think the forum corrupted Natalia arlovskiviako: Hizoka is the only person here that doesn't like Will Ferrell Hizoka: there is a differance in stupid and funny... Will Ferrel is stupid.. hes even said himself he cannot believe people find him funny, but hes happy to take their money arlovskiviako: Holy fuck, I had to fix the shit out of all those quoted posts. xdusty: budweiser for the win. when i drink it, sometimes i think im super man, sometimes i punch people in the face, sometimes a bang strange chicks, and sometimes i wake up in a booth at the strip club. any which way, drinking bud leads to cool shit happening. xdusty: if its good enough for bear, it good enough for me. ive never had the beer your talking about, whats it similiar to? JujitsWho: .........Natalia....come on. Tim? Really?.....................we might have to fight later :D HackBennys: LMAO @ the last two pages.
