According to MMAWeekly:
"He’s an MMA fighter, that’s what he does for a living," said the big man's manager. "He’s got to keep fighting – he’s too young to quit."
Tim Sylvia has lost 3 in a row, getting finished each time and lost 4 out of his last 5. He showed up to the Ray Mercer fight at over 300 pounds and got knocked out in 9 seconds. He's burnt his bridges with Dana White and the UFC. He's placed himself in a no leverage position in terms of salary, because no one is willing to pay him the amount of money he think he's worth now. Man, talk about going from sugar to shit huh? Maybe Sylvia can go to Japan and get a couple of fights under his belt with DREAM or something?

MMA passed old Tim-Tim by — all he really had going for him was size and reach, but that won’t cut it when we’re starting to see fighters that are 265 lbs of FUNCTIONAL strength in HW division. His stand-up is mediocre, his takedown defense is mediocre, his ground is non-existant.
Bloody hell.
Ya Know
After thinking about this statement for like 2 seconds…you are absolutely right.

Let him go to Japan and roid up and fight.
Personally I could care less if they guy ever fights again. He has doesnt really factor in me getting a PPV or not or trying to find a fight card online. IMO, he is irrelevant.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
I have a feeling he wouldn’t be any different on roids..
