| Re: Tim Sylvia departs UFC I say "go for it". He's lost 2 of his last 3 (to Couture and Nog) so chances are if he were to resign with the UFC, he may have been offered a pay cut. As a free agent or non-exclusive fighter, he'll probably be able to pull in more money than he did in the UFC because he'll likely fight more often.
I'm honestly not a big fan of Sylvia but he's still a quality heavyweight and his size gives people problems. I happened to catch his interview on Inside MMA and saw that he was actually toying around the idea of fighting Fedor, which, I think, would result in Sylvia getting another arm broken.
I know other MMA companies like Elite XC, Strikeforce and DREAM are excited now with HW free agents flying around like Fedor, Sylvia, Ben Rothwell and Andrei Arlovski. |
